Define your class.

[Pevisopolis]

What, I ask you, defines particular social classes in modern society? Thsi arose from a discussion over in F7 about whether "Lower Middle Class" would be, say, a comfortably living, although low-level worker, or a doctor, lawyer, etc.

So, what are the terms that define which class a person is in? Where do you draw the line between Working, Middle, and Ruling? Is there a line? Et Cetera.

Bloodlines plus wealth.

[Kobrania]

Lower upper class.
Rich, historically integrated into my country and have no blood outside Germany, England and Ireland.



I hate my heritage, wealth and country, so I give most of what I can away.

see I give nothing away....

[Padullahstan]

To answer your questions, Money, Money, Money, Money.

[Uawc]

I don't really know where to draw the line, and never tried.

My family and I are of the proletariat.

[Natapoc]

This is actually a whole field in sociology. The definitions depend on the culture. There are very many different class and cast systems. The currently most popular model of measuring class is not by wealth but by how the community views the job title.

Surveys go out and they find out how people rank the different job titles by class. Within a given culture almost everyone will rank the title in the same way having little to do with income.

You can also think of class in a Marxist way which may be more useful for some things...

[Lackadaisical2]

"bloodlines" are retarded, but I'm an American, so thats to be expected.

I grew up solidly middle class, I think. Both my parents have college degrees, my dad was an accountant. We live din a nice neighborhood and had a nice house.

Right now I'm a graduate student, which I guess is in transition form middle class to upper middle class?

I never saw the point of wealth, it just encourages people to be lazy.

You suffer from the condition of having to much money.

[Aelosia]

I am a wizard.

I have cross classed sometimes, like Wizard/Fighter, which was interesting, but mainly, my class is Wizard.

And I have prejudices against other classes, like priests, paladins and specially sorcerers.

Consider that 3 generations of Bushes, not to mention the Kennedy family, were all in Congress. America has its own proper upper-class, in addition to the nouveau-riche.

I agree about this, a lot of skilled laborers are put into the lower class, despite making considerably more than people who would be considered middle class.

[Call to power]

their job obviously

Thsi arose from a discussion over in F7 about whether "Lower Middle Class" would be, say, a comfortably living, although low-level worker, or a doctor, lawyer, etc.

middle class = not in the coal mines and such

with that in mind lower middle class (at least in the UK) is low level office work

So, what are the terms that define which class a person is in? Where do you draw the line between Working, Middle, and Ruling? Is there a line? Et Cetera.

1) their job nothing more
2) ruling class doesn't exist you godless communist but again its the labour involved with the upper class being big wigs and an increasingly bankrupt aristocracy
3) not really a line but upper class children will have it easier

[New Kereptica]

Upper-Middle to Lower-Upper, depending on where you draw the line.

Well, I don't consider them to be upper class by virtue of their birth. If later on in life they were working at a 7-11, then I'd still say they're working class.

[Buffett and Colbert]

Which one? I mean there's Geometry and Algebra. Fun stuff there... Of there's Geography class; that's mildly interesting. English is always entertaining, lot's of writing and such. Science? Well we make stuff go boom! Oh and Spanish is rather drab but sometimes we read an interesting book.

False.

Only if you know nothing of the marxist way of separating classes of people. You don't need to be a communist to agree with his separations. Actually I don't agree with all of them either. He had this one class of people: I forgot what they are called. But it basically meant worthless non working people who live on crime. the underclass

Your choice of model will depend on if you want to measure an individuals function in the economy or if you want to measure an individuals function in society or some mix.

The Lumpenproletariat.

[Lunatic Goofballs]

I have no class.

[Kryozerkia]

Lower-Middle Class. For now.

I am a bourgeois industrialist pig-dog capitalist who oppresses the proletariat and illegally appropriates the people's capital in the name of the phantom power of money.
