Introduction

My current big topic in school is: Social classes and minorities. I think in our global world is this a very important subject. In all countries are minorities and social classes. Moreover minorities are often in a other social class, most lower, than the most of the other habitants of a country. This is a big problem and tends to result in unemployment and crime.

This shows us, that immigration is a big and necessary part in our society. I am going to write a few articles about the subject and hope you enjoy them.
