For this week's interview, I spoke with a 26 year old, Caucasian, female that was at Fresno State. The interview took place in the Atrium located on Fresno State campus. The topic of this interview was homogamy and how we see it in society. My interviewee stated that when it comes to education, she would like to meet someone and establish a relationship with someone who values their education. It is very important to her, seeing as she goes to Fresno State, that someone takes pride in their education and making an effort to be educated. I am going to state this out of order, but we also discussed social class. As a society, we tend to separate individuals and groups based on social class. My interviewee stated that she also sees society as being separated by class and it is highly unlikely that an upper class individual would have any interest in a lower class individual. It is most likely going to be the other way around if it was going to happen, the lower class person would try to get into contact with the upper class person so that they would have a shot at their money. My interviewee believes that many women would try to look for an upper class man so that they could support them and they would not have to work. For my interviewee herself, social class is somewhat important, because they would have to get an education and that requires money, a good amount of it as well. The last topic we touched upon was race. Race is still an issue in society. Even though African Americans have received rights over the years and we are not supposed to discriminate based on race, you still see it every day. Looking back over time, it was once illegal for a white person to marry a black person. If you were seen with someone of another race, people looked down on you and most of the time would scrutinize you for it. Nowadays, you see all kinds of mixed race couples. We both agree that race is not a factor when looking for a partner. My interviewee has dated other races other than Caucasian, and she will continue to be open minded on the subject. We have come such a long way in society that race should not be an issue any longer.
