Social Class and The Hidden Curriculum of Work

I think this is basically about people being in a higher class and having better advantages over the people being in lower classes. Like for instance, schools in richer communities are better than those in poorer communities and are most likely to train better students. This means that schools in this higher classes are the ones that have better materials in their schools that the students need to help them study and learn more.
Not only, do they have better equipments, they also have better and adequate teachers for their schools. These communities are the ones that are likely to produce the good schools who then will make the best students that in the future would be able to get the better jobs.

Although schools in lower classes are the ones that are said to have "hidden curriulum," are the students from these schools still likely to succeed as much or even better than those in the upper classes?

People who made an influence in my taste for popular music and softdrinks.

I would say that the only thing that the people in my high school influenced me on the most was popular music and maybe sometimes soft drinks; these were mostly the students. People especially students tend to do things that other people are doing just because the other people are doing it. Like for instance, if a certain kind of music came out and everyone in school was listening to it and I was asked if I had heard it before and I responded no, their reaction would be like “Are you serious?” or “I can’t believe you haven’t heard that song” and that instantly would make me want to listen to that particular song and I would listen to it and in most instances, I would like the song. It was pretty much the same thing for soft drinks. If I hadn’t tasted a particular kind of drink and asked if I had, and my response was no, then I was either told that I was missing out or I needed to try it. I would eventually try it and in most instances like it.
