Class Structure

Class structure refers to the hierarchical organization of society based on various factors, such as income, education, occupation, and social status. It typically divides society into different classes, such as upper, middle, and lower classes. Each class has distinct lifestyles, values, and opportunities, impacting people’s access to resources and influence. Class structure shapes social interactions and can affect individual life chances, such as career prospects and educational opportunities. Understanding class structure helps us analyze social inequality and the dynamics of power within a society.
