Introduction to Social Class
Social class is a complex system of social stratification that goes beyond just income levels. It encompasses three main types of capital:
Economic capital: Financial resources and assets
Social capital: Networks and connections
Cultural capital: Knowledge, skills, and cultural awareness
DefinitionSocial Class
A hierarchical system of social stratification based on economic, social, and cultural factors.
Analogy
Think of social class as a three-legged stool - if one leg (economic, social, or cultural capital) is shorter than the others, the whole structure becomes unstable.
