  SOCIAL CLASS, Russ Long's Lecture Notes
Social class affects one's life chances across a broad spectrum of social phenomenon from health care, to educational attainment, to participation in the political process, to contact with the criminal justice system.
The existence of the middle class is problematic for Marx.
Teachers have middle class backgrounds and, therefore, work better with students "like themselves." The importance of education receives greater emphasis in upper classes, therefore, children of the upper classes are more likely to attend college.

Karl Marx famously claimed that the primary social division was between a "ruling class" and a labouring class.
It is seen as the process of a "class in itself" moving in the direction of a "class for itself," a collective agent that changes history rather than simply being a victim of the historical process.
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.

A social class is a group of people that have similar social and economic status.
The sociologist Max Weber formulated a three-component theory of stratification, with class, status and party (or politics) as conceptually distinct elements.
The concept of "caste" differs from that of "class", and refers to rigid status groupings, the membership of which is usually inherited.

 MARXISM AND CLASS CONFLICT
Marx's emphasis on class conflict as constituting the dynamics of social change, his awareness that change was not random but the outcome of a conflict of interests, and his view of social relations as based on power were contributions of the first magnitude.
Classes exist insofar as there are those who dominate by virtue of legitimate positions (such as the Soviet factory manager, party chief, commune head, or army general) and those who are habitually in subordinate positions (the citizen, worker, peasant).
Class struggle or conflict, the active opposition of classes, is of course the meat of class theories.

 Class Action - Class Definition
Examples include: feelings of inferiority to higher-class people; disdain or shame about traditional patterns of class in one's family and a denial of heritage; feelings of superiority to people lower on the class spectrum than oneself; hostility and blame towards other working-class or poor people; and beliefs that classist institutions are fair.
Class Privilege Fruits of the many tangible or intangible unearned advantages of "higher" class status, such as personal contacts with employers, good childhood health care, inherited money, speaking the same dialect and accent as people with institutional power.

 The Declining Importance of Class
Opportunity is here defined as the extent to which an individual's economic and social status is determined by his or her own skills and effort rather than by class of origin.
The more closely the status of individuals reflects the status of their parents, the less opportunity exists in a society and the more class matters.
A larger proportion of upward mobility across generations is attributable to the declining importance of class and a smaller proportion to economic growth (chart 3).

 California's Class Size Reduction: Implications for Equity, Practice & Implementation
In July 1996, California embarked on its largest ever education reform: a nearly $1 billion class size reduction effort to improve literacy in the primary grades.
Whether this lackluster performance was due to the content of the state’s language arts curriculum frameworks, the increasing number of uncredentialed teachers, inadequate funding for schools or other reasons, is a matter of debate.
California’s class size, however, was undeniably among the highest in the nation, averaging approximately 28.6 students per K-3 classroom before the initiative was passed.

 Class and Status
Marx's class model is dichotomous, divided into two main classes, the Bourgeoisie and the Proletariat, where these classes are antagonistic due to opposed interests, where class is independent of the awareness of its members, and dynamic from the classes' continuous struggles.
Weber believed that classes were made up of many different groups whose market opportunities and life-chances were fairly much the same, and that class was based on the market capacity or skills that an individual brings to the market place, not with who did or did not own property.
Status appears to be closely linked to occupations that require a tertiary education rather than simply a person's level of skills or their occupation's usefulness to society.

 ECONOMIC CLASS, SOCIAL STATUS, AND EARLY SCOTTISH CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS Accounting Historians Journal, The - Find ...
This paper challenges the Jacobs thesis by examining the notion of economic class in relation to the social status of professions, and provides archival evidence of the effects of the recruitment practices of Scottish chartered accountants from mid 19th century until the beginning of the First World War.
The first is a considerable change during this period in the economic class origins of the general community of chartered accountants in Scotland and the second is relative stability in the economic class origins of their leadership.
The purpose of this section is to compare and contrast the connected concepts of economic class and social status and argue for the use of the former as an analogy for the latter as occurs in various studies of the sociology of the public accountancy profession.

 Thailand - National and Urban Structures: Class and Status
The wealthier segment of this middle class (for convenience, the upper middle class) consisted of bureaucrats and military men at middle levels (including higher provincial officials), salaried administrative and managerial workers in private enterprise, middle-level businessmen, provincial notables and landlords living in provincial towns, and professionals.
Also outside the urban status hierarchy--but sometimes with higher incomes than those in the upper middle class and themselves requiring the services of those in the lower middle category--were the many men and women engaged in illegal activities that were nonetheless countenanced or protected.
It was not clear that class consciousness had developed among the power elites or upper middle-level bureaucrats by the 1980s, in spite of their shared views and aspirations.

 Weber - The Work - Class, status, and Power   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
He argued that communal class action will emerge only if and when the "connections between the causes and the consequences of the 'class situation' " become transparent; Marx would have said when a class becomes conscious of its interests, that is, of its relation, as a class, to other classes.
In contrast to classes, which may or may not be communal groupings, status groups are normally communities, which are held together by notions of proper life-styles and by the social esteem and honor accorded to them by others.
Generally, as much pos-Weberian analysis of American politics has shown, political behavior may at times be influenced by men who are fearful of losing their status or who bridle at not having been accorded a status they think is their due; such influence may be as powerful as class-determined modes of political behavior.

After hearing the arguments, Boone Circuit Judge Jay Bamberger granted class-action status to the lawsuit, which alleges a half-century-long cover-up of sexual abuse in the diocese.
Although hundreds of lawsuits have been filed against dioceses across the country, and several have sought to be class-actions lawsuits, the Boone County lawsuit is believed to be the first in the nation to be granted such status.
Bamberger's ruling means that Steinberg and his partner, Stan Chesley, will be able to argue on behalf of any alleged victims of sexual misconduct by Catholic priests in the diocese over the past 50 years.

In the UK, working class men's clubs are fighting the same fight which was lost a few year's ago by the gentlemen's clubs: the right to keep women away from at least some parts of their premises.
Many working class people all over the world deride attempts by others of a similar origin to "pass themselves out" as middle class, and regard middle class dress, speech patterns and social habits as feminine and unsound.
