‘lineage’ or ‘race.’

CLASS OR SOCIAL CLASS

The term class first came into wide use in the early 19th century, replacing such terms
as rank and order as descriptions of the major hierarchical groupings in society. This usage reflected
changes in the structure of western European societies after the industrial and political revolutions
of the late 18th century. Feudal distinctions of rank were declining in importance, and the new
social groups that were developing—the commercial and industrial capitalists and the urban
working class in the new factories—were defined mainly in economic terms, either by the
ownership of capital or, conversely, by dependence on wages. Although the term class has been
applied to social groups in a wide range of societies, including ancient city-states, early empires,
and caste or feudal societies, it is most usefully confined to the social divisions in modern societies,
particularly industrialized ones. Social classes must be distinguished from status groups; the former
are based primarily upon economic interests, while the latter are constituted by evaluations of the
honour or prestige of an occupation, cultural position, or family descent.

In simple words: Class or Social Class refers to divisions in society based on economic and social
status. People in the same social class typically share a similar level of wealth, educational
achievement, type of job and income.
DEFINITION:

According to Maclver and Page, “A social class is any position of a


community marked off from the rest by social status.”
According to ogburn and Nimkoff, “A social class is the aggregate of
persons having essential the social status in a given society.”
According to L.T. Lapiese, “ A social class is any position of a
community marked off from the rest by social status.”

process is the differentiation of sex, roles, which divide the society
into two fundamental parts. Differentiation and specialization also
result in different role behaviour for people of different ages,
occupation, skills, influence, income etc. it is the form of some
degree of division of labour or functional division of roles, is
essential to social organisation, However, the basis and nature of
differentiation change over time, with changes in traditions and
values.
