How are the characteristics of a business owner similar to that of a professional athlete?

A few questions concerning classes within society?

• I had a few questions I need answering to help me understand about social classes more. firstly, please explain the characteristics of the type of people that would fall into the following classes? Lower Class Middle Class Upper Class The way i see it.... Lower class - the non working or the working for minimum wage Middle Class - one that works hard and gets alot of money, in a very comfortable position in life. Upper Class - 'the rich' high business man/property owner type, may not work much for it anymore please correct me if you have different views! secondly i wondered how you'd say 'stereotypically' each of these classes would react to these situations 1) a lesbian couple fostering a child 2) a young carer faced with the choice of putting her mother into a care home or quitting college 3) a single woman, who is a parent to two small children and works as an escort. (not having sex with her clients) Thank you :)

• Answer:

  Upper class - top 1-2% of the world's population - do not have to work. 1) middle class and upper class likely against lesbian couples fostering a child 2) middle class would probably not put her mother in a home; upper class would not need to 3) middle class and upper class would likely be against a mother working as an escort
