Question

Do people in different social classes experience higher stress than others?

Answer 1

People of a lower socio economic status definately feel higher stress than those that are better off financially. The lower class they are, the lower paid their jobs will be and the harder it will be for them to pay their living expenses like bills etc. I think there is more stress in the work place too for the lower class because their jobs are probably more mundane and tedious and not truly satisfying, hence, them not being truly happy with their life, maybe smoking and drinking more. However, the higher paid well off classes could also be under some level of stress as their jobs would entail probably slightly more responsibility, ie: judge, barrister etc...

Answer 2

u know what i would really like to know more on this question!!

i dont know. i guess it is theoretical in its..guidelines.

i think the base argument is like that because u r poor that therefore u will have more problems. kind of easy, hey. just sounds so tricky when u throw in the words 'social classes'. like there is such a divide anyway. hmm, hope that helps.

Answer 3

Without a doubt, the lower classes! They experience chronic stress while the upper and middle tend to experience only intermittent stress.
