In the 1930’s class inequality was at a low. Classes were mostly in the same boat. Since the stock market crashed…

written during the era where Social Darwinism was becoming a trend. In “What Social Classes Owe to Each Other,” Sumner is basically saying that all men have a chance to make something out of themselves, but it just will not work out for everyone. If the opportunity presents itself, man should take his chance although it may not always guarantee success. He argues in his writing that social inequality is inevitable because it is the result of the law of nature. “These classes are sometimes…

Author, Stuart Ewen, in his essay “Chosen People” talks about how the middle class has fooled America. The middle class is presented as an imaginary structure in American society.

The Latin America social hierarchy was totally structured on one thing – the…

Social classes in the Greek culture correlated with the citizen’s, (or foreigner’s), rights. Foreigners and poor men were often given the lowest work and did not have a right to vote, while citizens and Spartan men and women still had every right. The social/political system was unfair because free-citizens had important rights, not everyone. Military was held to a high standard in Sparta, while in Athens they weren’t as concerned about it. There was a huge difference in how the two controlled…
