Social issues that are introduced in Act I that are important to me is classification of society, racism, and gender roles. These social issue are important to me because the social classification of one is determined if one is poor or rich. The poor reach to at least get to the middle class and the cycle continues until one is considered to be in a high class. People are identified and judged by what class they are in and I believe that is something idiotic in society due to the fact that certain people don't want to associate people within the other social classes or think lesser than them.
Racism is the most common social issue in this play. Racism in the first act is pointed out on how the family is living in their small apartment, the jobs the Young family has, and lack of misinformed information Beneath receives in school. The example of gender roles in this is fact that Walter believes he should provide for the family since he is the man. He hates his job as it reflects what social class he is in. These two social issues are important to me because racism still exits in today's world and gender roles are still common mostly in poor areas of the world.
