  Middle class - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
Descending from this distinction, the term "middle class" came to be used in the United Kingdom during the 18th century to describe the professional and business class, as distinct from both the titled nobility and the landed gentry on the one hand and the agricultural and (increasingly) industrial laborers on the other.
In early industrial capitalism the middle class was defined primarily as white collar workers—those who worked for wages (like all workers), but did so in conditions that were comfortable and safe compared to the conditions for blue collar workers of the "working class".
Here the middle class is defined by a similar income level as semi-professionals, or business owners; by a shared culture of domesticity and sub-urbanity; and, by a level of relative security against social crisis in the form of socially desired skill or wealth.

 Social class - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Classes are seen to have their origin in the division of the social product into a necessary product and a surplus product.
Marx himself argued that it was the goal of the proletariat itself to displace the capitalist system with socialism, changing the social relationships underpinning the class system and then developing into a future communist society in which: "..the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all." (Communist Manifesto).
For example, Bourdieu seems to have a notion of high and low classes comparable to that of Marxism, insofar as their conditions are defined by different habitus, which is in turn defined by different objectively classifiable conditions of existence (principally cultural capital and economic capital).

 RPG System Design: Class and Template Mechanics
Class systems are best suited for well-tread genres where there are enough stories and characters to clearly define trends.
However, it is a very loose class system, in that it only affects the special abilities which are not always central to the game.
The class system is fairly loose in that you can branch out into other classes to a limited extent.

 System (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)
class are standard input, standard output, and error output streams; access to externally defined "properties"; a means of loading files and libraries; and a utility method for quickly copying a portion of an array.
Note that while the unit of time of the return value is a millisecond, the granularity of the value depends on the underlying operating system and may be larger.
Multiple paths in a system property value are separated by the path separator character of the platform.

 Social Class
One common way is through the "caste" system to be found in India.
In Medieval Britain, the "Feudal System" of land ownership meant that the "nobility" of land owners, with its sense of family tradition, privilege and knightly conduct became the dominant ruling group.
Clearly, in most modern industrial societies, including Britain, our system of social stratification is much more fluid - that is, we experience a good deal of "social mobility" - people, through generations or perhaps in their own life time, moving up or down the social scale.

 System.Object Class
This class is the root of the object hierarchy.
By making the method protected, only objects of the same class (or a subclass) can produce a clone and implementers of those classes are (presumably) aware of the appropriate invariants and can arrange for them to be true without necessarily calling a constructor.
For example, for an instance of the Double class whose value is zero, the implementation of System.Double.ToString might return "0.00" or "0,00" depending on the current UI culture.

Guild Members - Yes it was possible for the lower classes to attend but it seems by the end the schools were far too expensive and prestigious to allow for such.
High Poor - The higher class of poor seemed to be made mostly of industrial workers, many of whom spent their time on foreign Ages (before it was outlawed of course).
These low poor were relegated to their own districts and rarely seen even with the middle class and never with the upper classes.

 An 'Olympic' Class Propulsion System : (2001) by Mark Chirnside - 25 June 2001
The decision to incorporate a Parsons low-pressure turbine in the new vessels of the ‘Olympic’ class, was a departure for the White Star Line from the conventional system of two piston-based reciprocating engines driving twin propellers.
The conventional system had been employed in the ships of the ‘Celtic’ (‘Big Four’) class of 1901 — 1907, producing a steady moderate service speed of 16 knots combined with great economy; each ship burned a mere 280 tons of coal per day.
However, owing to the enlarging of Baltic during construction in order to make her the largest vessel in the world, she had difficulty maintaining her schedule with the same originally designed engine power and the engines were subsequently modified for a greater power output.

This is the basis of the political classification system in North Korea.
Individuals are further classified into 51 subcategories, such as those in the wavering class who had been landowners before the communists came to power, or those who had resided in the southern half of Korea before 1945.
As of the most recent Party Congress, which was held in 1980, approximately 25 per cent of the population fell into the core class, 50 percent fell into the wavering class, and the remaining unfortunate 25 per cent were relegated to the hostile class.
