 Some people think that a society is divided by socioeconomic standing and it's just between the rich and the working class. While some people think that a society is divided into three being: upper class, middle class, and the lower class.

In today's society, which one do you think applies? Do we consist of only two classes or three? Or maybe more?

You may be wondering why this is an important discussion and the answer is if we know how many social classes are truly there we can address the inequality and we might be able to find ways to bridge these gaps and meet everyone's needs as much as possible

To me it's three classes which is the upper class, medium classes and the lower classes. There are people who could not afford things that the upper class people will afford and same time the lower class people may hardly afford what the medium classes are using or having but what really matters in Life is when you are able to shelter and clothing, feed yourself or family properly then you are a moderate person. There are some people who may not be able to afford the middle class people has or have but in as much as they are breathing, walking and eating they are already comfortable with that.

The society is divided into three classes, so anyone who's saying it's divided into two is not right. If someone say the society is just between the rich and the working class what happens to the people that are not rich and those that are not working class but somehow they are surviving from that they can be able to provide on their own. Even in most government programs, they mostly provide for upper class (high income earners) middle class (medium income earners) lower class (low income earners) this is how the society is structured economically and that's what you can find in our contemporary society today.

For me I think we have three class in the society the reason why I'm saying so is that there are people who are not rich because of the way they are living however they cannot be classified as poor people because of the way they are living also meaning they are in the middle class.
Now if you check the meaning of the word poor it means lacking money or basic needs to live a comfortable life and if you check the meaning of the word The rich means having a lot of money, property, or valuable things. now there are people in the society they don't totally lack money or totally lack basic needs to live a comfortable life they have half or little of this things but it's not enough to call themselves rich because they have half or little of what qualifies being rich checking from rich meaning you need to have a lot of money not half or little and you need to have properties and valuable things which some people don't have but they are not poor because they have little of a comfortable life.

This social classification has led to many forms of discrimination in employment and careers. From what I have observed, this is the situation in several regions where the upper class lives luxuriously and looks down on the lower classes. Conditions like this always create social inequality, but the two or three classes you mentioned are actually insufficient, if we look deeper there are layers of status within each class.

But I believe that everyone has the same opportunity to change their lives without the need for social classification.

To be more accurate, it can further be divided into 5 or more. Another class can be between the poor and the middle classes. Also another class can be better the middle and the rich classes.

But there are some countries or some states in a country that there will be many people that are extremely poor while the richest men in the country will be in state, while in some countries, the money is distributed better.

Classes are here and they won't go away as long as money is the only separator.
Classes have been with us since the beginning of having a record over civilization.
People who envy another class are just too lazy, stubborn to try and switch classes. 
 

Is obvious that society is classified into three which is the first class, middle class, and third class. The first class can be seen as the rich while the middle class are those who are not rich yet they don't lack anything, the lower class or third class are those who are struggling to meet up with thier expenses in other word will be considered as the poor people. Even in higher institution we have first class, second, and third, and that is also a perfect example. Those who are middle class don't have all it takes to be one among the first class and so as the lower class.

Don't even stress yourself because there is absolutely nothing you can do as individual to equalize the segregated behind the classes of people.
You must understand that "No One" can afford to loose their portfolios or net worth all to uplift the lower classes. You also need to understand that there are some who are of the lower classes that are contented to what they have, they don't put efforts to increase their portfolios so are you going to force them to meet up with the high class? And who is going to do the Jobs if everyone are equal of their financial status?

The only form that equality is necessary and can be adjusted is the humanitarian right because as stated, No One Is Above The Law in a regulated society but as it is there are classes of high profile people who violates the laws and are scot-free in the same society that states "All lives matter" to be treated equal.
"Right of the society" can be amended and justified but financial classifications is a personal quest and is ungovernable. Although, a concerned government will always care the masses well being but not to equalize personalities.

As you just said, society is actually classified into three places. The upper group represents the top population of wealthy people and also influencers; these are the most respected people in society. The second one is the middle class; this is the broad category, but in general it includes folk with a very comfortable, steady way of living. Thirdly, they are the lower class; this is the group of people who often face economic hardship with low job income. This is a category of class in society.

Is not going to be only two classes because if it should be just this then we might be neglecting another one that's is also important even if they are the one the society doesn't favour in many cases, so I will agree to those that says three classes, so actually the poor should be there also or better still we can just consider since we no that rich and working class are the same thing so we should put them together to be only the rich and the poor because if we go by working, technically speaking everybody is working including the poor because is not only being an employee on a reputable company is a worker but every big and little work regardless of the money is a working because it wasn't done without money so that's why this class is not necessary.

The middle class is gradually phasing out because of rising income inequality. The rising cost of living and increase in unemployment is pushing the middle class down the ladder. But we have seen the wealth of many big business owners increase because of several factors like corruption, government policies, and new inventions.   


In some countries we have just the rich and the poor mainly due to corruption. Politicians and their cronies have mansions in major cities of the world while common citizens suffer from poverty and disease. Therefore if you want to bring back the middle class, promote accountability in governance.

It really depends what country you live in as to what degree it matters. In somewhere like India, there is a heavy "caste" system that is based on class where it can be quite hard to ever move up, but it has many more layers than 3 from what I understand and a whole hierarchy to it. I think in most other countries, even if it is not discussed in that way, there are usually those three classes - the poor who are scraping by a living while barely keeping their head above water, probably in debt that they struggle to manage but probably few assets either, the middle class have it somewhat easier where they have average or above paying jobs and a bit more security in their future while the rich are always generally doctors/lawyers/inheritors/celebrities/highly skilled or just generally the super rich that are unlikely to encounter struggles of the others but may still have big mortgages and bills to pay.

I have always made reference to two classes in the past, which is the rich and poor, since I sometimes consider the middle class as part of the rich based on the negative sides of most economy like inflation, unemployment, etc. But in reality, I think they are actually three, which are the upper, mid and lower class. I consider the middle class as those who can afford their basic needs. Majority of people fall under this class to some extent, but some of them are literally living between mid and lower, i.e, they can afford basic things, but it still doesn't make them financially safe, especially when we're talking about things that are related to long term.

Same thing with the lower class. We have those that are a little bit above lower, and those that are completely lower. I'm not sure of how much sense this makes, but I believe you will understand especially if you live within a third world region, or in a country that has high unemployment and poverty rate.

I will say that the social class is not all about just having the money but about how individuals or people live, the choices they have and how they are being seen by others out there.
And again traditionally society is divided into 3 and you can think of it this way like.
 The upper class are set of individuals or people that do not worry about managing monthly payments, they control wealth, make the rules and pass it down to their generation and their wealth grows without lifting a finger.
Then the middle class or average earners are set of people that work very hard for their money they've got education and aim for a life that feels safe and settled. And lastly the lower class which is also seen as the working class this people work hard but there is never much left , holding up the system to keep it moving even when the system takes them for granted.
 So I will say that behind every class is a life that is full of emotions, efforts ,the fight to move forward and hoping that things can  gets better.

Money isn't the reason why social class division exists. Even before coinage was innovated, we had social class difference, all of humanity had it. That's why those famous Greek philosophers accepted payments in groceries and even relationships, because that's how they would show their payments for their value. So you would buy them what they need, and in exchange they would accept you as students.

When you have such a situation at hand, it would not make sense to blame money itself as the reason for the division. It's human nature, we value ourselves, and we want the world to value it correctly, not everyone accepts where they are, but we are all put to some class, and told we belong there, and we try our hardest to get out of it.

It is a feudal system.

Royals=rich
Guild= middle class
Knights = muscle
Slaves= poor


So four groups

To me the way this world is going now there are more class,not just three class.there are people that are extremely rich they are not upper class while there are people that are rich and there can be upper class.and there are still people that are averagely ok and the are not middle class,they are in-between rich and the middle class.and there are still people that are lower class and there are in-between middle class and lower class.then to round it up there are extremely poor people there are not lower class they are poor for real.so classifying the social in this present world is harder.if it was the when the world was better the three stages of classification would have worked.

Personally I will look at it that we have three classes and that is because in the actual divide, people really do fall into these three classes, some people are not working yet they are neither poor nor rich ao such person may not have a cclass if we are looking at the two class systems. And there are people who do not have so much gathered already but they are just very comfortable within their means and they are not seen as rich either they can be better placed in the middle so fo me three classes does works really fine than two classes so everyone has a place they fall into.

There are people who work and are still poor, such people cannot be placed as the rich and even the working class will not be a perfect fit for them because I think  living above a $ daily was once the UN measure of poverty and if that still is then these working class who are not rich either has to be placed somewhere which is not really poor but they still do not have it figured out with their bills.

It depends on how we apply our own definition, but basically, we have the rich and the poor class, it now depends on how we define who are the rich and on what basis do we use in classifying them into categories, which is base on our own terms or how we define them as it applies to us.

I will divide between rich and working class if I were to choose for taxonomy of economic class or social classification.
The term upper, middle, and lower class is so confusing. There's just no clear line between each class that sometime if you are lower middle class you can go to lower class aswell.

Apparently if you ask which one applies to current society, it's all of them. social classification can be classified from many different angle.

Social class are divided because the culture, tradition or probably the lifestyle and in society this condition has been happening for decades, even hundreds of years ago and in my opinion social class are divided by at least 3 class such as the rich, the worker and the last one is the poor and we can see it in everyday life that there are big difference regarding these category that the rich in the top position because they have money to control the workers and the poor

For the worker i will categorized them only middle class because in my country the workers such as doctor, office employement or factory workers has average economy so, they are not rich but also not poor because these people have a job to fulfill their needs and the bottom position certainly the poor because the people like this usually jobless and most likely homeless too and for each days they have to hard struggle to gets money to feed their families

The society is divided into three class and it's remain the rich, mid class and the poverty class but as the society is transforming so we are experiencing a new dawn. I mean we now have people that live fake live, they disguised and hide to what they don't have, society see them to belong to a particular class but they don't actually belongs to the class they claim, they are faked that lives between rich and mid, mid and poverty but they actually belongs to the lower class.

I think in general, we are having more numbers of people leaving the lower class to the upper class gradually, the global economy is changing because the opportunities for work and wealth creation is changing with time. There was no cryptocurrency before 2009 but now we have lower class that are now millionaires and billionaires.

Hey peter0425 i wanna use Gilbert Kahl’s theory a bit,,

In general, many sociologists prefer the 'upper, middle, lower' model because it is easy to understand. But modern theories go into much more detail, like Dennis Gilberts model, which divides society into six classes: capitalist class, upper middle class, lower middle class, working class, working-poor class & underclass.

This means that rich vs poor is not just everything, there are different levels of status, how much power, respect, opportunity, education etc... are also important. Looking at it this way, you can see that inequality is not just about money but about opportunities, social status &  security

It's impossible to divide people into classes, because that wouldn't create a distinct palette of classes, but a gradient. After all, for every family, there's a family that lives slightly better, and for every family, there's a family that lives slightly worse. And ultimately, dividing everyone into just three classes would be too crude a measure.
After all, everything is relative, and for example, in the capital, everyone is rich, so there will be distinct classes there, incomparable with those in regional centers.

The top 1% and everyone else can be two different class. Because it is possible for someone to get the status rich with a million dollar but they do not have anything that is highly influential to the society they are living then it is probably not. So the only two class which is extremely rich and nobody cares when you reach that irrespective of your nationality, religion, colour and if not then you got lot of hurdles to overcome in everything.

In my country, the rich are known as those politicians that embezzle government money, the business gurus and many that doesn't get their money from salary.

While the poor are the salary earners whether civil earnings or non civil earnings, they are poor.

That's the way I classify them.

The upper class is divided into two segments; upper upper class, and lower upper class. The first mentioned comprise of aged wealth, significantly called old money. They form high social status. Most atimes the lower upper class groups got enriched by people in the upper upper class dominion. Through business or investments. And because their wealth hasn't endured enough decades, the lower upper class have lesser privilege in the society like the upper upper class people do. In a nutshell, societal classes didn't just end at three...

We will never be able to change the fate of many people if they don't strive to change it themselves, and social inequality arises from the lack of accessible human resources regarding well-being. Bridging the gap can be done in various ways, but its importance depends on each individual. People say that a lack of opportunities means they don't have access to change their outlook on life for the better. Without us realizing it, this is a mindset that continues to be built so that people are increasingly left behind in achieving financial freedom.

Humans are divided into several classes, as we often hear, and these are simply conclusions deliberately made to differentiate human castes. The term "poor" and "rich" is intended to distinguish between castes of life that are essentially the same. The way of thinking, acting and changing life is the responsibility of humans themselves and if they are unable to find the difference then there is no hope of changing life.

If we ever see such a situation in our society, I will say there is nothing called humanity here. Yes, it is exactly the rich, middle class and poor people in every society. But we all should live together with all, so it is possible to meet the needs of all kinds of people. If that is not the case, then many discrimination can occur. Because every person works in his or her own place and meets the needs of all. On the other hand, it is not possible for poor people to make money or spend money on the rich. Such a situation in our society has become. However, we look more seriously in our own work, rather than on this social class. This will eliminate the discrimination to some extent.

If we actually want to go into this, then the classes may be divided into 4 or even more because there are different level of people in the society which could be the rich, average and the poor but naturally in-between this 3 class we have people between the rich and the average which is the medium people and also another set that is in-between the average and the poor but I don't know the name to categories it with but I believe the whole system was summarized to only 3 and that is what everyone knows today so going further to find more class may be difficult.

I think there is even 4 or more than that. There's the above the upper class which are the and the ultra rich and then to the poor, we've got the poorest of the poor. In our society, there's a lot that we have and it makes sense that these classifications are being applied because we've got a lot of them depending on where we're living. But here in the country, we know that there are a lot of people that are in the threshold of poor or lowest class and then poorest of the poor. And to these people, classifications and division of the society isn't even important at all because what's important to them is to feed their hungry stomachs.

We may difficult to bridge these gaps and meet everyone's needs especially if those people don't want to do something to fill their needs. Every person needs to work to earn money so they can fill their daily needs. If they are just waiting for other people to fulfil their needs, they become lazy and just rely on that help.

That is not educating them because they will not realize that they can't depend on other people to fill their needs. I am sure every person has a chance to lift their social class by doing something. But most people only want the easy way which is asking for help from others.

It is about whether you want to have a better life or not. If you really want that, you will try the best you can without stopping. Then, after you succeed, you will help others but don't make them rely on you without trying.

Class differences are not only economic, but also cultural and psychological differences. The rich class usually has the upper hand in terms of opportunities and influence, they control education health and decision making. The middle class is always fighting for survival, they are the backbone of society but most of the time they work under pressure. And the poor class is basically struggling to survive. I think the problem only increases when the opportunity to move up and down between classes is closed, meaning no one can rise above the poor.

Why to divide between these classes if we want to bridge the gap. Dividing into these categories will again make a few people superior and others will be pushed way below. The society has always honored 3 main classes and those are Upper class, Middle class and lower class. People themselves have categorized themselves into these classes based on their earnings or net worth. People will often forget that as a human we all are one but the financial requirements are different for each and every family.

I don't really think it is possible to bridge the gap as there will always be people below the poverty line who will never like to compete with the ones having stable finances. Let's just keep it as it is instead of making it way more complicated.

I also think, like you, that there are very few people in society who live in a completely different way. I mean, they are not really in a different world, it seems to them that they can control not only money but also power and influence, which even ordinary rich people cannot. For example, there are many who own millions of dollars but they do not have that much power. Then there are some people who can control everything from the social system to the media and the market. It seems to them that they live in an invisible wall where money alone cannot reach them, it requires identity, power and connections. No matter how hard the rest of us work, they have to follow the system they have created. So you are right that the current system does not depend only on money, but rather on those who have a real impact on society, this is the main thing.

The world is filled with segregations, and limitations, there are levels some tribe, nations, continents could get in revenue and wouldn't get past the growth and wealth of neighboring nations. USA as an instance,, is built upon generational wealth, people are billionaires by birth, they grow that way to the upper echelon of the governing bodies. The Rothschild, Rockefeller, JP Morgan, and lots more alll grew and ran businesses in America.

Over these years of collective or organized effort, the nation's wealth begin to widen and fetch investors. The classes isn't necessary but people who are capable to donate billions of dollars worth of investment would want to spend more time with similar peers.

They know where to meet and converse, life is to them like every other person, the only difference is - they can't be to some places or mingle with a certain level of people.

Rich class is also working! Just an impression not a question or telling you but bro I have seen rich people like really rich people working too.

Anyways, I believe there are neither two or neither three classes, as I believed on three classes but then there comes more categories in these three classes, like lower, middle and upper classes in (lower, middle and upper) classes.

It does not matter to which class we are because a very few people consider this thing, and they make a big issue out of this too which I really don't like, because we must stop such thing that creates difference and make some people hate each other.

You are implying the concept of secret society here but I don't think that way, if someone is extremely rich they get to join that club but the problem is the existing members in the club will make sure others will not reach that status, once they start growing in something that could potentially bag them billions then the existing one will buy that from the growing person and if they refuse tp sell then they may use their power and connection to restrict the growth and force him to sell it.

Although it is never right to divide ourselves as humans, today we are divided into different classes where there are initially three classes which are the rich, the middle class and the lower class.Those who are rich among them are certainly all in a perfect society, and they have no shortage of respect and privileges. However, within this we also have a classification which is the middle class which is further divided into three categories which are the upper middle class, the middle class and the lower middle class. Among these, those who are in the upper middle class, although their wealth is not at the level of the rich, are still seen with great respect in society, this is based on their position, for example, a high-ranking government official or an established businessman. Then comes the middle class where the employees and small businessmen of the society are considered, then comes the lower middle class where the employees are the lower and struggling businessmen and people from other small professions and finally comes the lower class here the most neglected and disadvantaged people of the society live together.  Among all the classes, those who are in the upper middle class get almost all kinds of opportunities for their high status in society, but they fall into trouble. People in the next class, such as the middle class, lower middle class, and lower class, mow here lower class can freely talk about their needs and ask for help and receive help. But those in the middle class and lower middle class have the most trouble because they cannot even ask for help from anyone properly to maintain their high status in society, and on the other hand, they have to struggle to meet their needs.

The rich and the working class? That doesn't make much sense to me, because logically, even the rich work for others who are richer than them, so how will this division work? If I'm not rich but working, and then someone is rich but they are still working for someone else, are we both from the same class based on this logic or what?

A person's social status is determined based on their economic and financial status, and not by whether they are from the working class or not, because there are rich and wealthy people who work under other rich and wealthy people, and that chain goes on and on.


Social inequality can never be finished, there will always be classes, and this has been the case since the beginning of mankind, and it will stay this way until the end.

When I've grown up, I thought that there is only two, the rich and the poor. But as I grow, it's start to be clear to me that there's also the middle-income earners which is the middle class. They're not rich but they're not also poor.

Others don't like to see people that have stepped up and became rich try to help other people. I don't know what's with them but everyone needs a helping hand to get better in life, and that's the reality.

The clearing of who is who would make people see the real enemy. It is not about left vs right, it is not about catholic vs orthodox, it is not about Islamic vs Jews, it is not about any of that. It's about the rich and the elite, versus the poor and the normal people. I have told this more than once now, the people of Ukraine and Russia, have more income with each other than between them and their governments.

I am not sure whose quote this was and it was for some other war, but citizens all around the world who got screwed by the elite are all are in common, and elites of those nations have many in common, it is the normal citizens versus elites that is the problem in every single nation. Divide the classes clearly, to whole world.

The middle class has been eliminated, it's no longer a category, the current economy has set a new standard, it's either you are rich or poor. Some people might say that there are those that are neither rich or poor, there are just in-between and they pay their bills comfortably, well in this current economy that even the rich are complaining how do you think those In the so-called middle class are surviving? The economy has taken a different shift

I would say inequality is all about money because money can solve all these problems such as opportunities, social status and security. Money is the key player among these and if we have money, we can create our own opportunities. Yes, in modern study we have all these categories but here I feel only the upper classes would benefit and the people below working or middle class will keep on struggling for their entire life.

Some have managed to change their class by gaining additional earning opportunities and by really working hard to achieve it but most families are stuck on the same class since generations and they have never gotten any opportunity to break this cycle.

To my mind, there are five social classes, super elites (billionaires like Elon Musk and athletes like Messi) elites (millionaires, not included owning a house), upper class (not millionaires or probably a millionaire but with a very decent income), middle class (people who can afford average things and a little more) and the lower class that mostly lives on welfare or doesn't have access to many things and works a lot on a low wage because of being unskilled or in manual labor or not having a good education.

Being in super elite and elite is a huge privilege because for them, laws do not exist, nor any suffering and think about how to survive tomorrow if something bad happens to them.

I do believe that there are rich people clubs, just not some secret illuminati kind of way that people think. It could be something as simple as a country club, a golf club basically. You enter by putting in 50k dollars yearly, or even 500k yearly, but that would be too much. That way, you are golfing with other industry giants. You are an AI company? You need someone who controls waters?

You play a golf with CEO of Nestle and suddenly you are getting cheap water from third world countries. It's this way that it works, people do not realize this but they have to realize that it is not going to be easy at all to enter, you have to be rich, but after you are rich, it is not some secret club, it is just networking with other rich people.

The society is transforming but only for those that are in the environment where this transformation is happening. There are some families that in the last 30 years used to be poor and doesn't have much but if you check them today, a lot of things has change for better and for good because it's either their children has went to school and become a better person than their dad or the parent were able to step up and enjoy some benefits of their hardwork.

It's normal to have large number of lower class going to mid class and higher class but there are also decreased from top class to lower it's just that the number maybe small and you know people can fake what they like, they can continue to pretend to be something they are not and people might not know since they are already there except if you are close to them. Just like the way you used cryptocurrency, some has made money from it and there are others that has loss to it but gain is more than the loss in numbers of investment.

According to Marxism, in the capitalist society the basic structure is there is mainly two classes; bourgeoisie and proletariat. but in some modern analysis, a third class was added called "Middle Class". It consists of small landowners and small business owners who do not clearly belong to either of the two main classes determined by Marxisme.
Marxism classifies the middle class within one of the two classes according to its economic position and social interests.

Yes there could be the three classes but I think the less privileges does not have position there because because there are those who struggles in their entire life has become hopeless that they can ever grow in their finance status while they finds it very difficult to afford even the essential needs that both 3 classes could just afford for themselves.
It is also clearly noted that all fingers are not equal and so our level of affordability differs. Perhaps being contented should also be decisive so that it does not encourage settling for less that may discourage growing and productive mindsets.

Class advancement in society is never closed, especially when in certain areas it's still considered crucial simply to separate the poor from the rich. This will undoubtedly continue to this day, even though when middle-class people have more assets and money, their class will also experience differences from their former class simply because they have more money. And when it comes to influencing various aspects of life, the middle class is actually the one who can drive this, as they still far outnumber the wealthy.

While the wealthy shouldn't be overlooked as individuals capable of exerting influence in society, when influence doesn't fundamentally require money, the wealthy will be powerless. Therefore, we also need to understand that not all influence can be exerted by the wealthy. Stronger influence usually comes from those with the most power, including the poor. Influence can also be generated if all the poor are united in one thing they consider important in their lives.

In my opinion, it's mostly made up of 3 classes which are also subdivided into other groups. First, we've got the,
Top class; Here, we've got the ruling class, the elite and the wealthy. (Only the fanciest folks in here)
Middle class; Here we can find the rich, the not so rich and the median income earners. (Only a handful can be considered fancy)
Lower class; Here we can find the rest. Ranging from low income earners to the unemployed down to the destitute and the homeless.

Where do you want to start in addressing the inequality and how do you intend on bridging the gaps?

We when are talking about social class, to me it is just between the rich and the working class, as for the poor, the society have already made it look like they have no class because the society does not recognize the poor and even in some social activity they don't include the poor. It is just unfortunate that we can never have an equal society where everyone can be treated equally because of societal differences. In actual sense, the poor are even the people that the society should give much attention because they are the vulnerable and likely to commit social crimes as a result of inferiority complex and the kind of unfair treatment they are prone to suffer, therefore they feel that involving in social crimes is the only way they can become relevant in the society.

That is true, they have clubs or organizations that they are part of. They have meetings every now and then but they're not talking mostly about businesses. It's all about their hobbies and how life is turning them.

It's part of their networking and that amount like an annual membership is nothing compared to have much they can rake with their connections there.

So, it's true that these rich people have their network and also clubs like this. And you're right, at most times they're playing golf which is a known sport for the rich people and just want to have some time to talk with their friends while doing it.

Society used to be divided into three classes, but now it feels like it's boiled down to two: the haves(rich) and the have-nots(poor). There's a huge wealth gap, and resources are distributed unevenly. The rich have the power and influence, while the poor struggle to make ends meet.

I divide society in frequencies, like the frequencies of the radio. Those who live on the same frequency can get along very well with each other. They feel tuned in a way it can't be explained exactly with words. Think about that person you like to have around, who brings joy to you just by being by your side. It's the kind of person who fulfills your inner universe.

And it's not about having more or less money. There can be poor and rich people on the same frequency, although it's not the rule, but the exception. That is how I think social classes should be divided, but in order to do so, a lot of insight is needed, which can be only achieved through pure intuition. It's an internal work most people don't want to do, because it's easier to live on the automatic mode, in a state of semi-consciousness.

I think I would agree with you. Yes the three main are the high or upper class, the middle class and the low or poor class. A better classification will have to account for almost everyone existing in society. The last should be the poor class; these are people who are homeless, who can’t afford the daily bread, they’re always begging for one thing or the other. And then we have the low class; these are those who are able to work but can’t save money, they work to feed themselves (hand to mouth). Before they can do anything they have to plan for years and save. Then comes the working class; People who earn a comfortable salary, the regular guy who can feed, cloth and house himself and family, but can’t afford anything luxurious. Then the Rich Class: these are those who have a good amount of discretionary after taking care of expenses, they can afford some of the luxuries of life but not all and then the last the Wealthy Class: Just by the name you know them, those in the upper echelons of being rich, they have assets here and there and can afford private jets, sports cars, yachts and the likes.
I think this better classifies our society today!.

Social classes are nothing more than rich and poor. The question is where do we begin to bridge this gap, given the limited employment resources available today. Social classes may be clearly visible when we discuss the rich and the poor, but solving these issues is difficult. Meeting everyone's needs is difficult, and believe it or not, this is a very difficult thing to overcome because we see many problems currently occurring, especially financial ones. The economy is getting worse, and social inequality continues to spread, even to remote villages, and there are almost no achievable solutions, especially for those responsible for addressing them.

Richbassed, I will concord to your point though accepting this facts with the society I come from though my conclusion over this as it align with what I see daily in my environment may differ from others but let me stick to what I am seeing already in my society. There is no need if carrying statistics about social classes between rich, middle and power there a whole lots of separate and a mark that has stand as beacon where everyone know their stand even while they exist the words social has already been ruled off for the poor, the struggle of many poor people today in the society is to see how they can enjoy this common social life that been taking away as a result of having no say in the society as they are no body even when their ideas are genuine but won't count, has resulted to many crime even in the society I think for such classification to be obtained correct it must be in a society or environment where every class have equal opportunity to even share ideas values.

I will go with the second classification into upper class, middle class and the lower class. This is how most societies are classified but what is generally happening in most societies is the disappearance of the middle class, a trend orchestrated by the upper class so they can stratify the society into the rich and the poor to enable them exert greater control and grip on power. In most African countries, the middle class are disappearing and sliding into poverty and the gap between the rich and the poor is also widening. I know same thing is also happening in other continents and I feel it is a deliberate strategy by some people who want the societies so stratified.

The difference between the rich and the poor is merely the tip of a highly non-uniform social class issue, the resolution to which is obstructed by the low number of comprehensive work prospects. Admittedly, it is highly challenging to address the needs of everyone in a highly volatile economic environment, and this is why there is a rise in the financial problems. With social inequality ever expanding even to distant places, it is an indicator of a deeper issue of inequality in the dispensation of wealth and opportunity.

The first step towards closing this gap is to start making investments in vocational education and fair development of infrastructure. However, it is quite unfortunate that the biggest challenge today is actually to find solutions that is not only acceptable but also implemented effectively by all stakeholders.

We have several classes of people the three classes mentioned is just a cover up that's the upper class, middle class and the lower class.

We have the trillionaires, this classes of people can afford what so ever thing they need in this life they can afford several private jet without going bankrupt.

We also the billionaires this set of class can also buy what they need but they have limit and there are properties they can't have two or more such as the private jet.

We also have the millionaires this class can afford a car and also feed there family well but there are things they can't buy or afford.

And lastly those who there net worth is still in thansand they can be considered as the Lower class they can't afford anything expensive and most time struggle to survive.

I know that social classes can be whole lot of things put together, but most countries and the society has narrowed it down to 3 classes. The social classes has their differences ranging from one stage to another.

In our societies now, I guess the people who are operating more are the Rich people, they control most of the affairs in the society, they're men of power and influence, these ones can live luxuriously, they can afford anything and any lifestyle they choose, the middle class can be categorised to the Educationist, the skilled people, business men too, these set of people can also live a life of comfort according to their means shall! In life, I feel like what ever class you fall in doesn't really matter that much as long as you're making progress,  consistently showing up and meeting the needs of your family members, saves for rainy days and also take of you is more than enough.

In our society now, we just have the rich and the poor and these two classes of people are the most talked about, is either your rich or poor and the rich keeps dominating. Most of the people who are considered as poor are still comfortable in their zone and there's no way we can meet everyone's need, like is not possible at all, so in which ever social class you fall it, just keep pushing and as much as you're consistently building yourself, paying your bills, taking care of your needs then that's more than enough because at the end no one can truly meet everyone's needs.

I don't think that the poor is comfortable in their own zone, they're just suffering and smiling in order not to get depressed but inside them comes a lot of questions such as why they are so unfortunate or why their efforts are not leading them to a better life. I know that human wants are insatiable such that everyone is still striving for more opportunities to become better but categorically, the poor ain't happy and i think that irrespective of the fact that everyone is accountable to how they live their life, but i think the poor deserve some special incentives by the government so that they don't feel unincluded in the society.

This is a very wrong assumption. Nobody is comfortable being poor, the average class and the rich still work hard to upgrade their standards. No one is ever comfortable with a low standard of living.

It is true that we can't meet everyone's needs and also there is no way everyone will be equal in terms of financial standards, however there are ways the government can ensure economic fairness so everyone irrespective of social class can be comfortable. This is where the government adjusts its tax system; the rich pay higher tax than the poor. Basic amenities and infrastructures will go a long way. NGOs and private individuals can still help in bridging this gap so life will not be too difficult, especially for the poor.

Actually, this is the same for me, only the meaning is different. When we talk about rich people and the working class, this is likely based on standards or conditions that stem from our income or earnings, but when we divide this into upper, middle, and lower classes, this is based on situations where we determine our level of prosperity in living our lives, such as meeting our daily needs, economic conditions, and all other aspects related to the conditions for survival in daily life as the main focus.

There is no significant difference here, only an emphasis on meaning and focus, but the goal is actually the same, where we are as if regulated to have self-awareness and where we socialize so that there is a caste system or economic hierarchy like this.

The difference between rich and poor families has dominated this society badly which effects the life of poor people. This gap can be removed with the help of government policies and strategies which they should adapt to facilitate the poor peoplle to live a better life. There are no job opportunities for poor people and the weak economyof a country further add to this gap. This system can be chnaged with small steps. Government and private sectors can create skill traiing and small business programs to help people earn a living. The key steps to stop this gap are enterpreneurship and education which can promote equality. There are strict rules for poor people while for rich people there are no rules and laws. This gap can be removed just by the government support for poor people. This gap can be closed if people work even little by little. It takes time and proper awareness.

It's not a problem but rather a because in real life, the rich and the poor are equal human beings with no different status. But this class arises because people assume that the rich own everything and the poor must submit and obey them. This is how social classes are established between the castes that exist in this world. Imagine if there were no poor people, who would do jobs like manual labor, and how no one would want to do other related things. Castes are formed because humans begin to differentiate, resulting in premises like this among humans that can shape the character of both the poor and the rich and in essence we are the same and need each other.

In every society, you going to see the wealth classes if people, you going to see the average classes, and you going to see the poor.

The wealth classes are just few in most of the community, they are the ones that are so rich which can get whatsoever they want at their convenience, but most of them are just few in communities, why we have the average classes, they are not rich, and are not poor, they leave a normal life and not a luxury life, at least they can be able to get themselves basic things which they need, in some countries, average classes are always so much, but in some countries the poor are always much. Poor classes are the set of if people that suffers in a community, they can’t get themselves the basic things which they need for survival, they finding it difficult to eat 3 square meals, and the environment which you will see them is not always convenient for survival.

Who set the standard so high for the people to think of other people differently, out of possessions? It's a thing of choice, happiness erodes all these social standards. With it the thought of who's richer or poorer wears off gradually. The problem with most people who think they're suffering or in poverty is that they fail to appreciate the basic gifts of life. We all have access to it, but some rich, average, and poor do not enjoy some of life's finest free packages.. It's painful to think of everyone's unique pains and suffering. Come to think of it the rich comes first in mind in every social class talks.

That’s true, sometimes we forget to be grateful for what we already have and instead chase after standards of happiness set by others. Sadly, those standards of happiness have also changed a lot nowadays, as most people begin to follow the ones shaped by social media.
On the other hand, I agree that people from the upper middle and upper classes always attract attention and often become the main topic of discussion. I think that’s because most people hope to be like them, to own many assets and to be able to control other social classes.

The discussion about social classes matters because inequality isn’t just about wealth it’s about opportunity access and fairness when the gap between the rich and the poor keeps widening it creates tension and frustration across society most people can see this difference every day in education housing healthcare and even basic access to jobs the system keeps favoring those who already have resources while those who don’t keep struggling just to survive. Today the situation has become worse because of limited employment opportunities and an unstable economy new jobs are created but not enough to match the growing population and the pay for most of them can’t keep up with the cost of living as a result poverty keeps spreading even into rural areas where it used to be less visible the lack of equal opportunity means that many people never get the chance to improve their lives no matter how hard they work.

Bridging this gap isn’t easy but it starts with real investment in people vocational education is one of the best tools because it gives individuals practical skills that can directly help them find work or even start small businesses building and maintaining infrastructure fairly also plays a big role because it connects communities and opens new opportunities for trade and access to services. The real challenge isn’t just coming up with ideas but actually making them work a lot of programs start out with good intentions but end up failing because of corruption poor planning or the lack of teamwork between the government and private sectors real progress only happens when everyone involved is honest and truly committed equality won’t happen right away but steady effort in education job creation and fair economic growth can slowly close the gap between people over time.

You know, when we talk about classes, it's not only in society, but even inside a family there are classes, though some people may consider the classes to be two or more, but in my view, I consider there to be 3 classes, which are first class, second class and lastly third class.

However, if we are considering economic inequality and financial capability, the first-class individuals are said to be the wealthier ones; these individuals are financially okay. They have a lot of assets that generate high sources of income; even with their assets alone, it's not necessarily that they work with the government because they have handled a lot of business and investment.

The second-class individuals are half financially okay, but these sets of individuals are in between; although they can also provide needs for themselves, they still face a little financial challenge, but not as much as that of the lower class.

While the third class, or the lower class individuals, are the poorest individuals, some of these sets of individuals always struggle to cater for their needs and struggle to get what to eat on a daily basis; common education is heavy for them to afford, and they are passing through a lot in times of financial instability.

The fault came from that loophole you mentioned, too many people want more and are willing to sacrifice time, energy and resources to make it happen. But the differences isn't always much to these elites because we are on same earth. Maybe that's why the Mars planet is getting fixed, the rich could cohabit there and leave the other classes on earth.

I think society has become too complex to fit neatly into just two or three classes. There’s definitely a growing gap between the rich and the poor, but within those groups, there are many shades, like the upper middle class or working poor. Technology and globalization have also created new kinds of wealth and poverty that traditional class models don’t fully explain.

At this point, it’s less about how many classes there are and more about how wide the gap has become

We know that in a society, upper class, middle class and lower class families are formed, not everyone is equal, the financial status of each family is not equal but different. Nowadays, most of the time, we can see that middle class and lower class people are humiliated a lot in society, especially upper class people are always evaluated. Middle class and lower class families are underestimated. This is not right in today's society because a society has rich and poor people living in it, so it is not right to underestimate anyone. Nowadays, we can see such discrimination where upper class people are underestimated but middle class and lower class people are evaluated. However, we should all see people from every class of society equally and evaluate everyone because there should be no discrimination in a society, rather everyone is human, so we should manage the society equally with everyone.

It's also impossible because everyone has some kind of hidden income. For example, when I met an old friend, he told me, "I live modestly and earn little." He was dressed poorly.

But then I was told he'd bought an apartment in a new building. He hid his income from everyone, and I'm extremely wealthy. The funny thing is, he was also a beggar at work, asking everyone for tea and sugar.

Until now, we have unconsciously recognized a hierarchical division of social classes, even though this division is not normative (ideal). Ideally, the social order aims for justice, equal opportunity, and shared prosperity. I hope that everyone, regardless of background, has an equal opportunity to move up the social ladder through hard work, education, innovation, and contribution, not be hindered by nepotism, inherited power, and monopolization of access.

Normally, the middle class is strong and stable because it is a stabilizer. Ideally, the majority of the population is in the middle class, well-established, economically secure, socially secure, and politically active. However, currently, the middle class is largely fragile; many appear well-off but actually live on the brink of poverty due to their dependence on consumer debt. Wealth distribution should be proportional; it doesn't have to be equal, but it shouldn't be too unequal. Ideally, it should be shaped like a pencil, not a wide, steep slope at the bottom. Wealth and assets shouldn't be controlled solely by the richest 1%. I hope that the upper class will have a sense of social responsibility and use its resources to open access and empower the lower classes, rather than exploiting or enriching themselves.

Structural discrimination must be eliminated, with no social classes formed based on ethnicity, religion, gender, region, or colonial legacy. Solidarity between classes must be strong (interdependence, empathy, collaboration, and healthy two-way communication). The current phenomenon is that the upper class is separated from the lower class, and the lower class despises the upper class for their perceived greed.

Therefore, it seems necessary to reorganize the social function of each class to be ideal. Not oppressive, but providing social benefits; not rigid and elitist, but vertically open. Without monopolistic practices and economically just, harmony emerges without stereotypical exclusivity. This will create a society where people differ only in lifestyle but share equal dignity.

Indeed, those wealthy people who publicly shared their success, they are getting the attention and most of those who follows and believe in them also wanted to shared that same success, instead of being thankful of what they already have they are continually trying to put efforts to extend their wealth and be that same person that they idolize.

It's not wrong aiming for something but if you wanted to have that decent and quite lifestyle it's better to be contented from what you already achieve or what you already enjoying, if fate turn on you success might be added and give you additional to expense for your luxuries.

Indeed, that is what socio-economic classes are like and what you need to know is that this inequality is very difficult to eradicate unless their government is fair and has a good system, there is no corruption and there are no greedy capitalists, then the inequality will not be so far from the classes below, this must be fulfilled with the spirit of building together, this must start from the government and the education that exists in a country, this will be very successful in reducing inequality in socio-economic society.

In general, there are three classes in today's society, the lower class, the middle class, and the upper class, but if we examine it more deeply, there are actually five classes in society, namely the lower middle class and the upper middle class, this is a condition where someone cannot be categorized as a lower class, but also has not fully entered the upper class, they are in a transitional position. and usually this class is quite vulnerable to falling because they do not have a truly strong financial foundation, so the government needs to pay attention to this class so that they can continue to improve their welfare.

The two vs three-class argument lacks the fact that classes are not demographic bins. They are relationship types to production and risk

Who takes volatility? That is what really separates people now. The Uber driver, the freelance designer, the contract worker, they directly consume all the market fluctuations. In the meantime a pensioned, healthcare, job security person is living in an entirely different economic world at the same income level. That's not upper/middle/lower

And the middle class that everyone is mourning? It was a certain historical bargain: stable jobs + property increase + social mobility. That deal expired around 2008. We have now individuals with incomes of 150K who are precarious and individuals with incomes of 50K who have inherited a house and feel good. The categories are disintegrated yet we continue to use the old language

The problem is that, not only we have too many unemployed people, but also the employed people are abused for more and more work, bringing more value to company, with a threat of company potentially firing that person if they do not do what they are asked, and because the employee knows that there are so many unemployed ready to take their place literally on the same day, they are forcefully accepting the abuse they get from the work.

The world is filled with people who are doing 3-4 workers job all by themselves, it's just the reality we are living in. And because of that, I can't really see how this could change, it is not going to be that great for any of us, and we should not be considering how this could be any different.

Preferable. Life isn't what people think it is, authors and coaches on wealth and riches are all over the world, but few rich people still exists. Financial instructors could say save up what's left after spending, work 20 hours a day, do this and that. Yes it helps, but life makes the final decisions on how someone's life would turn out.

Businesses crash everyday, not for anything else, but the failure to work on existing success to a better standard before leveling up to the next step. Most Young entrepreneurs after first few profits, relocate too quick, increase number of employees, spend more on designing a new office etc. when the market turns red they begin to run deficits and on loan to keep the business moving.

Over course of my life, I realized we do not have to divide people, they do it themselves. I do not know if it was like that in all of history, but as we can see, it has not worked out for the best of us, it is not doing that wonderful to be big powerful nations. Back in the day, it was city states, so a bunch of people who think a like, would have their own place, and they would do whatever they can do to be better.

Let's take USA for example, reason why they are a nation, is because federalists won, but if you could consider every single state as a nation, that has a pact with each other to not attack and be helpful and trade, but ruled differently, then you would realize that we are seeing a better place for all those who want to live in those nations. Texas would not be living with California under the same roof.

For me I think we have only two class, the working class and the rich, even though some people try to differentiate themselves from a particular class because they have little to survive or afford more things than others I still believe that if you're not rich then you're poor, the opposite of rich is poor so all the constructed classes are just social construct by man trying to feel different when we are all same, in one of the most popular theories we have the bourgeoisie and the proliterate, owners of means of production and the workers.

In modern economics, various other classes are introduced and people have been divided among those classes. This has been a discussion going on since decades but there is really not much of a output here. People still prefer dividing themselves into these classes as they will than know how well they can afford to live a better life in today's world. These classes will not just decide our financial level but also decide our spending power and will make us stay under the blanket when it comes to expenses.

I would still just prefer to have 3 major class as we did in the past i.e Upper, Middle and Lower class. It makes things much easier here and also people can somehow manage to change their class by increasing their earning methodologies.

Society is now divided into three categories, there are people who can fully meet their needs and live a luxurious life. At least they can meet their basic needs as well as general needs. There is another category of people who can somehow meet their basic needs, if they have to spend anything extra beyond basic needs, they have to struggle. These are basically the middle class, who cannot meet their needs properly and can also ask for help from anyone.
Another category of people is those who do not have the ability to meet their basic needs, they live dependent on others. They even have to go through the day or night without eating sometimes.

Such social classes have been created among us mainly due to the lack of proper distribution of wealth. The government collects taxes, but does not use them for public welfare. The rich do not give the rights of the poor. The influential take away the rights of the lower class. On the other hand, the lower class and middle class people of the country fall into the trap of taxes and continue to go lower. In the case of the rich, the situation is opposite, they are busy enjoying the wealth of the lower two classes.

I totally agree with your. Mostly we fall back on outdated class labels that don't reflect how people actually live and work. It's just not related to earning but how we earn and how much exposed we arw to risks. For example an individual who is earning a solid income as a freelancer or gig worker can still be one bad month away from crisis while a person at job, I acknowledge has less earning but he has secured at a job, healthcare. There was a time when middle class people had stable jobs, making properties and social mobility. It really hurts now. We should talk on class that include risks, volatility and how we control our expenses.

Even if they sacrifice time, energy or resources, they are able to get outputs at the end where they can earn an extra income which can make them feel good or spend on better things. Middle class is the one who will be struggling here.

Lower class will already have a lot on their plate and they would never afford sacrificing time as they can only survive tomorrow if they work today and a single day-off can ruin their finances. Middle class does have some spare time but they also live on quite a strict budget. Upper class will never care about these things as they will anyways manage their finances well and will have sufficient time left to treat themselves with a well-planned vacation.

Imagine if there is only the upper class on Mars, who will be doing their basis chores? These upper class can never take care of their chores and will need someone who can always help them with so I'm pretty sure they will take middle or lower class with them.

It should be middle class, not medium and this is the class that is slowly becoming extinct. Just watch some movies from the 60s, 70s or 80s and there's a real middle class presented there. People with hoses in the suburbs, where the father alone can support a wife and 2 kids. They usually have 2 cars, are able to pay for school and spend holidays abroad. They usually have some expensive hobbies that are visible in the background, like a boat, a hunting cabin, maybe a vintage sports car in the garage that they like to work on.

There are officially 3 social classes, but recently there's been a rise of this 1% class of the very rich, because let's say you have a lower class of minimum wage earners, then the middle class is often management, small business owners and all that, and the upper class is upper management, so all the CEOs, board members and politicians will be there. What about people who own 100x more than the upper management. You can't just put the owners of companies listed on stock exchanges in the same group as the owner of a car dealership. One of them will earn $100k a year, which is already a very nice wage, but the other makes $500k a week.

I also know that there's only three and anything that's lower than the lower class can still be classified in that class. But this doesn't matter at all for those who are only looking at the social class of people because if you've got money and even you're in the middle class, they'll think of you as someone who's rich and upper. So, it all lies on how people classify others based on their appearances and what they can see from these people. That's the reason why these societal classes are in division because some are setting standards on how they're going to come along with depending from which class you come from.

I grow up believing that there’s only rich and poor existing in the society. But when I reached adulthood, that’s when I realized that we have three social classes, the rich, the middle class, and the poor ones. And if I’m gonna rate the class where I’m in today, maybe I would say I’m still in the middle class, that sometimes still experience lackingness especially if my funds are very tight.

However, regardless of these, the important thing is, we are living a healthy life and are still surviving, no matter how inflation badly affects our daily expenses and way of living.

Sometimes what we see isn't necessarily true because appearances are often deceiving, as many wealthy people can actually appear much more standard-minded than those in the lower middle class. Social class only indicates who's the best, but without social values, it doesn't influence anything. Many wealthy people don't care about the lives of those around them. So what's the point of wealth, since we don't take it with us when we die? There are rich people who came from poor backgrounds, and vice versa. This proves nothing, but rather the need for a standard of living that relates to any social class.

The upper lower class would do the chores for the upper-upper class. They'll have to deal with it that way, also most rich people love doing their chores when no poor person is in the picture. Billionaires know themselves, who is who, the youngest could serve the elders. However, the middle class would be privilege to be in Mars to run errands, some rich men can't move without their right hand man, who are mostly not in same class with them.

That is true, money is just a mere economic brand that is usually misleading and not necessarily congruent with virtues or social acumen. It is obvious that a standard of a decent life must be based on dignity and not the amount of money because the origins of a person, be it rich or poor do not identify his personality.

Wealth without care about other people lacks the point of existence. As such, it is not the aimless and mindless accumulation of wealth at death that is beneficial, rather that wealth should be used to establish superior and fairer living conditions among the people. Society should ensure that emphasis is made on inculcating good social values as opposed to simple wealth acquisition.

Yes, people are deceiving others to make them look like they're classy and extravagant. That's why looks can be deceiving and we shouldn't judge based on the appearance of anybody. What wealthy people really care about are with the freedom that they have and not with the fancy things that they have. But they're lowkey and silent about the real wealth they have, house? they've got it, cars? they have it but it's not to be specific about luxury ones. What matters to them is that they can be brought from point a to b.

Social class may be classified into three; the upper class, the middle class, and the lower class. However, the government prefer to just address these two classes, the middle and the lower class as both poor and have less capacity for survival, unlike the rich and wealthy ones who have all the resources to live a luxury life.

Now, the question is, if the government is actually performing its task towards the poor? It depends on the kind of government we have. If the officers are corrupt, most likely these kind of people will continue to be poorer and suffer. And that’s what happening in most countries of the world, simply the government officials just turn greedy for the love of money.

what even defines a class? 
income    upper rich   lower poor?

or working class .vs. non working class.

educated  .vs. non educated

blue collar  .vs  white collar

stem .vs. trades  .vs.  service industry?

then these classes intermix with each other to muddy the waters even more.

the societies we live in define them also.  some countries have a fairly solid caste system,  others, not so much.   what might be a hugely important factor in one country, may not count for much in another.

and finally.  what does society value?  if you go by whom the clowns worship, then hollywood is the ultimate class, closely followed by sports.

That’s true. In every society, they are always people who are from different financial backgrounds, mainly the rich, the middle class, and the poor. But sadly, money has become the main factor people use to judge others. You see it everywhere in our today life middle class and poor people are mostly looked down on, while the rich are treated like they are above everyone else. And meanwhile it shouldn’t be that way, because at the end of the day, we are all human beings. Everyone deserves respect regardless of how much they have. A healthy society is one where people are valued for their character, not their bank account. If we all learned to treat each other equally and with understanding, the world would honestly be a much better and fairer place to live in.

The thing i find amusing about your post, the rich looking down on the poor the working class,  yes they do.

i see it this way.  ok if i am so,,,  disgusting..... then next time you clog your toilet, YOU clean that clog up and dig out the lincoln log.    How valuable am I now??  Everyone has their place, and when everyone  contributes, then society functions properly.  No we can't all be brain surgeons, but the world needs ditch diggers too.  All are important in the overall big picture.

Personally i like hanging out with my poor ass friends over the richer relatives... we are  just there to have fun, we appreciate what toys we have, all banged, dinged and dented up, and are not there to snoot and snob and one up each other.  no time for that, besides... that's not having fun.  you cry and wail when you dent your car, we contemplate what bumper sticker goes over that one  ;D


Aaron

It will always be about upper class, middle class, and the lower class. I dont know of any other way to classify the society. We have the rich people, we can also say they are wealthy or just rich and we have the middle class. The middle class are those in between rich and the poor. They can afford all they want but might find it hard to live a luxurious life, like  the rich do. And we also have the lower class which we can classify as the poor. But in my dictionary, the lower class are those earning minimum wages. They are not so poor but the money they get cannot afford them to live a normal life without getting into debt continuously. They most times struggle before they achieve a common thing.

They will try everything that they can in order to survive though there are times where you really can't make it and you need to give it up, but for those who wanted to keep moving forward they might find themselves trying different things or finding alternative options, there are different approaches from different people around, it's your own decision making that will let you to choose in between whether to keep trying to seek for more success or to have time to reflect to yourself and what will make you feel comfortable from what you can afford to have.


What matters to those real wealthy individuals is that they can afford things whenever they needed and whenever they want it, there are real wealthy people who still low-key and not trying to showcase why they are belong to the upper class, to the extent that their qualification is more than but they choose to live as normal as they can.

No society is classless, all societies have a class structure. Like all human societies in the world, our larger rural society has rich and poor, high and low classes. These classes were not created in a day. Our society today is the result of many years of evolution and evolution. In the midst of simple rural life, an elite class was formed in ancient times based on religious class divisions. Gradually, it changed and came to the stage of determining the standard of living of rural people. Currently, there are 3 classes of people in society. As the upper class people possess huge wealth, they also have immense power and they control the entire economy. Then there is the position of the middle class. This class of people can only fulfill basic rights and do not have extra money for their needs. Finally, the lower class or working class lives a very inhuman life and eats day by day, they cannot fulfill basic rights and are very neglected in society.

This is precisely what we see because many of us see wealthy people who never care about the lives of those around them and who don't even socialize well and maintain relationships. We are truly useful when we are able to help others, and this isn't unique to the wealthy; sometimes generous people find it much easier to do so. Most wealthy people simply accumulate wealth and don't use it to help others, although not all wealthy people exhibit this behavior. Currently, social connections are disappearing, and this can be seen in the environments in which we live.

Some people are like this, and I think that percentage is very small. The rest may have a misperception that some people who have wealth will prioritize their own well-being and that of their immediate family. There's nothing wrong with that, because family and those around us are the people we should protect first before we help others.
All of us have a strong sense of caring, and I always think positively about that.

In every society, there are three classes: upper classes, middle classes, and lower classes. Upper classes are the rich people who have everything they want and have the power to control others with their wealth. Middle classes are the people who work hard and always have a way to pay their bills. Lower classes are the class that no one wants to be a part of because it is a class where no one will see you as someone.

Lower class people are those who society and the people as poor people and people who can not afford what they will eat in a day. Lower class is a class in which even your family members will prefer to stay away from you because you are unable to pay your bills and assist them. We should never pray to be a member of the lower class because you will regret your existence.

Discrimination has existed for a long time on the basis of wealth, social status, ethnicity, gender and profession. Even today, there is discrimination between the rich, poor and middle class. Discrimination only occurs when some people start thinking of themselves as different from others. Then people try to limit the rights and privileges of others by showing different behavior towards others. There is also discrimination between men and women. Due to this discrimination, women in society are deprived of their privileges.
