You learned through Reel Society that morbidity and mortality patterns vary by class, race, and ethnicity. For a number of reasons, people in lower-income classes—many of whom are racial or ethnic minorities—are in poorer health and are more likely to die young than people in higher-income classes. Are these morbidity and mortality patterns consistent with those in your own family, and with those for other students using Reel Society who are taking this poll?
