Different social classes can be distinguished by inequalities in such areas as power, authority, and wealth, working and living conditions, life-styles, life span, education, religion, and culture.

Equality—Definition Essay Many societies, in the past and present, consider equality as a source of aspiration or achievement. However, critics show that there is lack of demonstrable progress of equality, and as a result the life of humankind has remained complex.
