Social class Inevitable?
writing a paper on this but i have the flu and my mind refuses to cooperate. due tomorrow. help me brainstorm. is it or is it not inevitable.
good quote from a book i am using so far.
“You do admit that, if wealth was divided up equally, in a few years there would be rich and poor again just the same. The hard-working man would come to the top, the wastrel sink to the bottom.”
that is from Forster's Howards End.
help. plz. |

does quick help mean a quick answer....
I would say yes there will always be social class. It defines who people are regardless of what you use to seperate them.
eh I think you are giving me the flu. I can't think either....but yeah, inevitable. |

"all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"
i think that would be great quote to use.
social class is inevitable. you can make references to how democratic societies prevail over communism and socialism.
may be also an evolutionary example. People do not want to be equal with each other. Everyone strives to be better than other people in a sort of competition. Competition and may be eventually dominance in society can lead to a particular person to be more well off than others. |

I'd agree classes are inevitable, but what form they take is up to debate:
ratio of rich to poor
classes can be defined economically, socially, racially...
abilty to move from one class to another.
im not speaking that coeherently my self i should get flu shot |
