Social Class; which are you?

In Society today most are born into a Social Class without even knowing it, as you get older, distinctions of education, income, wealth, culture & social network become evident but should they be determined by one’s own individual achievement in such a society or what one has been passed down?

There has always been the 3 main classes and it has often been suggested that there should be one further class (identified by “4”)

Do you recognise these classes and if so which are you? Or do you consider yourself going down the Marxist route.

1; Upper class - composed of those who are rich, well-born, or both (the one percent)

2; Middle class – Well educated work force in technological economies, usually owning property hove of value £300,000 +

3; Lower class - Those employed in low-paying wage jobs with very little economic security. The term "lower class" also refers to persons with low income

4; Underclass—those who are long-term unemployed and/or homeless, especially those receiving welfare from the state. The latter is analogous to the Marxist term

This has to be the worst post I have ever read, who cares and why tag people! We are all unique and people are people in all walks of life not needing tagged as to which class; we mix with all classes in th real world!

And the upper and middle class declare, the bashing of them would start

And for the lower, they would be slated.

Sex is a great leveller, once your naked in the bedroom your profession, background or possessions mean nothing it's up to you and your acquired talents to please and impress your partner.

I'd say I'm somewhere between middle and lower, im in a well paid job but don't bother with luxuries like a £300K house, I'd rather spend all my cash on holidays and still live in an area considered "lower class"

Can't stand snobs anyway :p

Is it just me or does anyone else find the thread divisive ?

Think class is far to hard to define in a modern society!

I was never born with the silver spoon in my mouth although my parents were never badly off! They worked hard for everything they had!

I always maintained the same point of _iew, you get what you deserve out of life if your willing to work for it!

I'm happy being who I am regardless of class!

Btw op, criticising someone's profile isn't really cricket. Possibly shows what class you are in.

I just open the threads for discussion, doesn't matter what way they go as long as they get response and this thread has a heck of a lot of discussion and response.

Like it or not, we live in Britain and with living in Britain comes class division which has evolved over centuries, you all vote for MP's and I can assure you the majority of MP's all see themselves in certain position of the class scale.

The profile I criticised was saying "no fatties please" I guess everyone has a choice

p.s. I see you have also hidden your profile

your apparent discussion apparently was on class to try and belittle someone on preferance because you dont like their replt is unfair it would seem with all your bluster you dont understand the diffrence between the class system and the guys personal preferance but as you have stated you only want discussion or is it division ?

Curious to know where you got your definitions of the class system from as I don't think it is a true reflection of modern Britain. Whilst I find this kind of topic interesting I do think it is divisive - unnecessarily so.

No matter what your personal circumstances your contribution to society should not then determine your status in society.

Since when does someone's monetary value define them as a person? Some of the biggest idiots I've ever encountered have been loaded and the nicest, kindest and compassionate with nothing. Are we not past all this in 2015? I don't need to have been born with a silver spoon to know how to conduct myself and I don't believe anyone better than someone else because they were. It's about attitude.

Advertisers used to use a different system

A. Aristocratic (often poor) judges, CEO level and so on.

B. Upper Middle...lawyer, accountancy, lecturer and so on.

C1 Middle Class...older teachers and so on bankers etc

C2 lower middle...young teachers skilled manual workers time served through apprenticeship and so on such as clerical.

D. Working class. Unskilled manual labour but working hard.

E. Unemployed(able)

At various stages of my life I could have ticked every box on the list!

We were all humans until race disconnected us, religion seperated us, politics divided us and wealth classified us.
