Society cannot be homogeneous, there are always those who can, want, get more, and those who are trying to survive by all means. In this article, we will talk about "superhuman, " or "evil, " the aristocracy.
Classes
A class is a historically established group of people in a society that has one attitude to property and the division of labor.
In any society, most often there are three main classes:
- inferior (oppressed);
- the highest (ruling);
- medium (living products of the oppressed, striving for the highest).
In different historical periods, there were classes of slave owners and slaves, feudal lords and peasants, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, and others. Each class has its own layers, which further divide, divide people.
Top layer of privileged class
Everyone strives for better living conditions. But there are such peaks in society that it is almost impossible to achieve, you have to be born so special in order to get into the privileged class.
Princes, nobles, boyars - the elite of Russian society of the 18th century.
In the beginning there was a man; in a difficult situation he turned out to be stronger, smarter, faster than others, he began to be respected and extolled. Glory extended to his children and subsequent descendants.
That is, initially, everyone could earn respect and reverence, so the famous clan was formed. Several of these births took shape in the classroom. A person from the upper layer could proclaim another equal to himself for his special merits - to give the title (rank as a layer).
The more actively developed (stratified) society, the more difficult it was to get into the upper layer of the privileged class. As a result, such an opportunity for the layman practically came to naught.
