Social Classes




After I saw Video about Social classes I think every country and every culture have many classes to classify how people are they?

In fact, social classifications are universal. Humans have invented numerous ways to classify people—by wealth, power, or prestige; by ability, education, or occupation; even by where they live. The term "social class" originally referred to groups of people holding similar roles in the economic processes of production and exchange, such as landowner or tenant, employer or employee. Such positions correspond to different levels of status, prestige, and access to political power, but social class eventually took on a more generic meaning and came to refer to all aspects of a person's rank in the social hierarchy they

For instance, this video shown how difference between two social classes. The lower class which often referred to as "working class" or blue-collar workers and sometime they need to work more than one job for living is generally associated with people with low levels of education, semiskilled occupations, low income and live in the same lower classes neighborhood. They kids study at public school after school or on weekend they go to play at playground that near their house and their friend are same social classes so they didn’t have chance to meet people from other classes.

On the other side, upper middle-class people which often seen as "white-collar" workers generally have more education, usually having graduated from high school or college, hold technical or mid-level manager positions, and earn average to above average incomes. Upper-class people tend to have high education, the highest salaries, and the most prestigious occupational positions. They children study in private school and their friend also same social class. Activity for middle class they go to gem to swimming, to ride a horse and go to play soccer at court.

In brief, so many people in our social life want to skip to next classes but that it to hard too changes to other class because they want to live big house ,they want their child to study at private school and to get a chance to meet people from other social classes.
