In total, 76 percent of the third class passengers died and 40 percent of first class passengers dies. Based on these passengers, what implications would you draw regarding the impact of social classes? Is it a relevant factor that third-class passengers were restricted to lower decks so they were farther away from the lifeboats than the first-class passengers were? Explain.
