In the book, Romeo and Juliet I learned about social classes and how people were supposed to live their lives based on what class they lived in. People in this era were either born into their classes or could marry into another class. They could also become noble by grant of the king or queen.

In ancient Egyptian society, social classes were made to establish power and keep a chain of command. At the bottom of the Egyptian social classes were the slaves and servants while the Pharaohs were above all (Egyptian). Social classes in different societies are based on different things like occupation or, in today’s

The United States is often seen by many as a country of equal opportunity. A place where social classes do not exist. Unfortunately, thoughts such as these are wrong because the US is far from being the only country to escape this exception.

The overflow of his fame on the Continent in later years was but the sequel of the flood of the Renaissance in Western Europe. He was the child of that great movement, and marks its height as it penetrated the North with civilization” (“George Edward Woodberry Quote”).

As long as I can remember, society has always been divided into social classes between the rich also known as Bourgeoisie and the poor as the Proletariat. I see within our society the separation between the two groups growing by the year. The poor class are cramped into small tiny houses with little space, while the upper class live comfortably in mansions that sit as tall as touching the clouds in the sky. The rich people control mostly everything now a days and capitalize on those who are less
