the defintions are kinda broad depending on how you see each class. It's dificult to explain.

It's better then your explanation mate.

Class is a dificult thing it can be seen as being based around your job (like Supernoodles said) but it can also be based around your upbringing or your economic status. It's believed that somebody cannot change class but I don't think that's true. In normal cases Class tends to be more about possessions and property and money and such.

There arnt actually deffinitions of each class, but it can be judged on social, economic and financial capital.
Classes are changing.

I consider myself to be middle class.

A Week? That must be wrong that would mean you earn £100,000 + a year, surely that means per year....

No one on here is higher class, people higher class have more to do with their lives than post on a forum such as this :wink:
I am middle verging on low, haha.

The class system is generally defined by your level of prodession in a field of employment, someone who is a doctor would be classed as a higher class than a bin man for example.

I personally dont like the social classification of people, we all have equal rights which in my opinion gives us equal status.

In the defined version of class I suppose I would be middle class.

Middle Class;
I go to a private school so I guess I am LOL Even though I have nothing to do with the income :P

Btw, I think Upper Class is like Lords and Ladys and all the rest.
