Which class are you?

[Jordy]

Isn't upper class royalty and maybe the very wealthy families with heirs etc

No what you've described is aristocracy which is the step above upper class.

Upper Middle Class I guess...

[Alkaz]

In a few years class will be a majort part of society again, cant wait :rolleyes: what with everyone 'needing' to have the latest this and that, you will soon start getting very clear divides, thus your class system well and truely back.


*Oh and working class

[Hushie]

Working class, although my mum has two degrees.

[Inseriousity.]

Isn't class 'officially' described as your parents job? Even though there's loads of arguments about it, shouldn't we just stick to the official thing?

When you do sociology, you realise that class already does cause divides, alkaz. They just aren't as clear as they used to be...

Working class for me.

[Caution]

I live in an ex-council house (but it's nice, nothing like off crimewatch lmao ). The sterotype doesn't really apply here because of the area. My Mum has a very good job with the council she's had for 27 years (but it's just us in the house). I'm working class.

[cocaine]

Well I'm not sure, my step-mum and my Dad both came from very working class families.

How do you define class? Parents occupation? Education? Wealth? Quality of life? Residence? It's an unanswered question as far as I'm concerned.

and anyway
i live in a middle class area, and my parents jobs, our house and education could define us as the higher end of middle class.

middle class i spose? i don't live in no states house :eusa_danc

[GommeInc]

Technically mid-upper class Because the class system has gotten so old and unreliable that it cannot take into account all factors like in the days of old

Saying that, the older generation on my dad's side were definitely upper class, no doubt about it - rich, lived in a huge house in Kent in a quiet but surprisingly quaint area and had huge jobs. My mum's side is working class, they worked on the fields. For some reason, the upper classness hasn't really rubbed off, but my dad never got on with his mum so it kinda dissolved. But there are a few odd things still in there. So mid-upper class is probably the better option (so neither on the poll).

[ifuseekamy]

at school so many people reckon they're upper/upper middle class. i don't think anyone really knows the true meaning of it :S

Lol, but the upper-middle and certainly the upper class are almost always privately educated? So it's obvious they're lying unless you go to a public school :S

No what you've described is aristocracy which is the step above upper class.

Aristocracy is upper class, people who inherit wealth and have titles like 'Duke and Duchess of wherever'. Apparently you can only be born into it. Kate Middleton is looked down on for being "too middle-class" for Prince Harry, despite living with her millionaire parents.
