How do you divide social class?

[shinratensei_]

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.

[Nahl]

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

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

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.

[Findingnemo]

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.

[Josefjix]

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.

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.

[Accardo]

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.

[bhadz]

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.

[jcojci]

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.

[dezoel]

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.

[Disconnecting]

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.

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.
