Is it right and is it fair that we still have class systems? People divided not just by wealth but by their job occupation, geography and culture. Will we see an end to it in our life times? Is the gap between classes widening or getting closer? Personally I think it's always going to be there. People will always be looked down upon and wealth will be flaunted. It can be narrowed by finding common grounds such as in a natural disaster that effects everyone. But these things are temporary. As soon as the dust settles, the upper classes return to their swimming pools and yachts, the middle classes go back to their four bedroom houses in the country and the working classes go back to struggling to stay above the poverty line.

I'm upper class now due to my mom's and step dad's expert saving plan which placed them above middle. We still live in a 3 bedroom house which is only the average size. Social class will always exist as it's one of tge easiet ways to separate people and "worth more than your name" .

Assuming people don't go crazy and fire off nukes physical labour will be needed since all machines won't last too long unless a substitute is found before then. So some rich CEO who sits on his a*** all day and maybe answers the phone once or twice a day will have far less worth than a miner or some kind of builder. I'm sure they'll get more money then anyway, iron ore etc will go up in price once it becomes so much more difficult to get. There'll probably be some poor class of people still though.

I think that if you come from a certain background then regardless of wealth, you will always be whatever some people consider to be of that class. So like, if you worked in a box factory and then won the lottery, that doesn't make you upper class. There's more to it than being rich and they can often tell exactly where you came from with one look.

I mean there are alot of upper class that are background upper class that doesn't look upper class. Also btw most people who are poor and win money they blow it off.

They do still have an upper class, but it's not the same. Middle class is looked at differently too. Like here someone who is a GP or a head teacher of a secondary school would probably be considered middle class. But the American middle class seems much more like the British working class. Factory workers, warehouse workers, ect.

The "American Dream" is a concept of the past because corporate America has taken over. Of course there are some people around who are "well off", but they are quite rare. In the US, you're either not fully comfortable with your financial future, virtually homeless, or filthy rich. A "comfortable in-between" really doesn't exist anymore. Canada recently surpassed the US middle class as #1 in yearly financial income. Edited by Ketchup Revenge, Jun 10 2014, 02:10 AM.

There's usually a balance, the moderate line of difference between the rich and the populous where economic factors aren't blurgh like, and everyone benefits to an extent... Whenever it sours or gets worse, you'd have the populous who's the overwhelming majority who would eventually tople the ruling class. This is a K.O and has happened alot this past one hundred years. I honestly don't know. We have been dividing each other, selecting leaders or cheifs who'd guide our "tribes" or civilisations to prosperity. We've been like this since our dawn as a species, in short. We all have a role to play in society! Everyone is doing their bit. Regardless. One of the reason as to why this has so many problems has to do with the fact that many people endure prejudices and discrimination made to deprive them, oppress them in a certain way to maintain them. There's a good play called 'An Inspector calls' ;P Has been made into a movie twice. Not a block buster but still, it does highlight the social problems of it its time... Labourers are the back bone of society, and without them, there would be no progression and production. Also! I don't think it will change at all.

I'm not sure that's true, in the US, middle class workers are often office workers, manual labour workers and retail would still fall under our definition of working class, but in the US wages can be lower than ours for those kinds of workers.

I personally believe the "Upper Class" has the right to "correct","dictate", and "mock" the other "lower classes" so that the "lower classes" can learn and realize that they have to "work hard" in order to achieve something(and one day they themselves can become a "upper class person" and make themselves and their masters proud) and not be "lazy".It will also help the other "lower class" people to learn about the "harsh realities" of life. You are entitled to not believe my belief. Edited by CheckMateIzGod, Jun 21 2014, 11:01 AM.

People should be treated equally, regardless of income or background or race, the class system goes against promoting equality.

In your opinion you mean? You're promoting inequality and elitism...how is that good in any way? You're saying for people to start from the bottom of the barrel so that they can work themselves up to be equal to the higher classes, but then saying that everyone just being equal is bad.

Then race also comes into play and other forms of discrimination that limit class mobility.
