Class structure imaginary

Question

in that the person who gets the best push or head start in the beginning tends to win i nthe long run

i'm 17 and lately i've been asking myself. what is social class?

what makes some people belong in better classes, i have relasied it is power, our soicety is based on notions of power that can be challenged easily

there is no such thing as real power, if everybody in the world hated the US president we could overthrow him, it doesn't matter whether it is legal or not because we have power

people say religion tries to control the masses but i think these notions of class structure try to control us,

2 people might be different in life all because of what they are born into, this creates inequality

Answer 1

social class -- i'll devide into three. superior, intermediate, below

you are right but some what wrong. we can overthrow for example a president but, it's their authority that holds us not to do so. we have the right but we don't have superiority as they do.

it's not imaginary -- compare a peasant to a king. a first world to a third world. rich to a poor. you are not facing reality if you believe social status or class dont exist.

you're right people give people power but, it's exclussive. face the reallity the superior class can control people below them. i can pay people to do something for me.

Answer 2

I'm not too sure what your question here is but I agree with you in that there are lots of misnomers in the labels society attaches to itself.

Answer 3

I believe you have an advantage of being born in a socially better class,

but also then it's important how you are living your life.

In societies were people are equal, you get chances. The advantage of people in social lower classes is that they are stronger fighters. In this way the climbing is better than the golden spoon.

So, see your chance and take it!
