Discuss the differing perspectives of social class in the United States.
What will be an ideal response?
In the United States, classes are based on wealth, education, occupation, and income. Others argue that U.S. society is stratified along a continuous gradation rather than into categories. They acknowledge that there is inequality, but that there are no clear lines separating one status group from the next. Some would argue that at times people in the United States deny the existence of social class; at other times social class can be an important part of identity. But it can be argued that indeed socioeconomic status or social class regulates human life and provides identity.
