Social Class |
Those members of a society who occupy a similar position in the economic system of production. The different social classes experience wide variations in wealth, status, material possessions, education, power and authority. The hierarchical nature of the class system is expressed in labels such as ‘upper class’, ‘middle class’, ‘lower middle class’ and ‘working class’.
