	Classism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Classism (a term formed by analogy with racism) is any form of prejudice or oppression against people who are in, or who are perceived as being like those who are in, a lower social class (especially in the form of lower or higher socioeconomic status) within a class based society.
		Classism is also similar to racism in that it is often a matter of considerable controversy.
		People who generally tend to find charges of classism unfounded or unreasonably harsh often diagnose the charges as expressions of class envy.

		Classism Theory is the fundamental study of classism ideology, basic concepts, society structure, and behavior patterns.
		The class structure bases its foundation on the theory that all organisms are classified into categories from the moment of birth.
		Classism Theory also deals with the style of warfare employed by all the classes in their battles and the progressions that these wars have brought to society by closely examining these factors in a scientific manner.

		By minimizing the weak points and maximizing the strong points of classism, an advanced form of classist study, Advanced Classism Theory, was created.
		In a classist society, there is a necessary clash at all times between the upper classes, who want to maintain their affluent status, and the lower classes, who want to move up to a higher class.
		The more established a class system is in society, the ability to act against emergencies and change decreases, and chances increase that the discontent of the lower class lead to a revolution.

		Classism is different because class is, by definition, stratification.
		There's no perception that I'm aware of that classism is about "hate" or "prejudice"—that "reverse classism" or the hatred of the upper classes by those lower in society is "the same" or "just as bad" as classism.
		I was under the impression that classism specifically referred to prejudice based on class ("poor people are lazy"), rather than the stratification itself.

	THE VN/VO \| What's Wrong With a Little Classism? \| is it really the division between the haves and have-nots that is ...
		Classism is an easy target, but in reality, classism- when applied fairly- is the only thing that can create opportunity and success.
		Classism is, by our cultural definition, as short-sightedly evil as racism and sexism.
		The second half of classism is that this inequality is based on traits that all people posses the ability to achieve.

	Classism within health care systems - WDG
		However, one perspective of classism in health care that is often overlooked is how closely many health systems – hospitals in particular – inherently reflect the class structure of the society of which they are a part.
		Classism is rarely acknowledged, and even less rarely discussed in an open and productive fashion.
		We need to examine classism in a fearless, open-minded way in order to first develop a clear understanding of how it is surfaced in our own organizations, and what the effects are on our own employees as well as our patients and customers, their families, and the communities we serve.

	Islands shows classism is new racism
		I am not sure if these women are aware but classism is the new racism and classist attitudes such as this have begun to divide communities like Gilbert.
		Classism asserts that upper-class people, such as Islands residents, are smarter and more articulate than working-class and poor people, i.e.
		Furthermore, classism is a way of keeping people down, and consequently upper-middle class and wealthy people now define for an entire community what is "normal" or "acceptable." And in the opinion of a few Islands residents Goodwill is unacceptable for our community.

	A Cure for Academic Classism (via Jerz's Literacy Weblog)
		That shows the dangerous classism that pervades academe, something I admittedly did not see for myself until I began teaching at a "second tier" institution.
		That classism is dangerous not because those of us who are categorized as less elite may be slighted at conferences or by journals or seminar leaders.
		It is dangerous because it divides us -- faculty members and students alike -- at a moment when financing for higher education is eroding, when grants for professional development and research are shrinking, when even the largest and most prestigious universities are still cutting faculty positions.

	Solidly Average » Classism
		You said I’m not willing to open myself up to the voice of others, well, if you’re not talking about class and how academia has hijacked feminism and changed it meaning to embrace only the college educated, then you and I are one in the same.
		I completely agree with you with the academic entrenchment of feminism, and I agree with the classism, although I suppose we might end up disagreeing on whether or not feminism might also be disenfranchising to women of colour as well as working-class or poor women.
		Jenn: Classism is the third rail of feminism.

	Browse by subject - Classism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		I used the more general term "classism" to refer to situations in which either libraries or other bodies, or librarians as individuals, engaged in discriminatory behavior which was assumed by the author of an article to be based on class or social status.
		The phrase "institutional classism" (coined by Sanford Berman) is connected to the ways in which public libraries as institutions tend to create policies, procedures, and operational plans that disregard the needs of poor people (2000, 6).
		(The charging of fees or fines is a good example of a type of library policy that is necessarily hostile towards those of limited means.) Although the term "institutional classism" is recent, the idea is not, and many authors allude to it, including Golightly in his 1970 article.

		Last week the transition team charged with overseeing the College's efforts towards becoming a more inclusive community held an open forum to present and discuss the results gathered from a series of focus group interviews assessing how classism is manifested on campus.
		Comprised of six two-hour interviews of randomly selected students, faculty, and staff, the focus groups were conducted last February and March by Dr. Felice Yeskel of the University of Massachusetts School of Social Justice.
		Interpretations ranged from bad manners, snobbism, and lack of common sense to segregation and judging people based on their position and socioeconomic standing.

	Cerulean Sanctum: Hidden Messages of American Christianity: Classism
		We don’t like to think of our churches as little demographic ghettoes, yet all too often the hidden message communicated to those who don’t fit the demographic is “You’re not invited to our little shindig.” The classism that results from our unspoken message of conformity overrides Jesus’ prayer that we all be one.

		Although these situations were more racist then bouts of classism, they were altogether evil.

		The us/them dichotomies and types are similar to those of racism, but except for discriminating based on the color of a personÕs skin, the discrimination occurs because of a personÕs socioeconomic status.
