How do you divide social class?

[Umulala-alala]

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.

[Ryu_Ar1]

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.

[Cheema02]

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.

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.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

[B-BossMan]

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.

[Accardo]

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.

[Jammy01]

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

[Out of mind]

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

[Renampun]

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

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.
