	A Study of Social Class
		The upper class is an element of society that is made up of people who all have the same training, the same goal and the same "occupation." In that way, it is like any other social segment.
		The upper class man or woman is one who has been trained -- generally from birth, or at least from a very early age -- to be, first and foremost, a representative of the prowess and acumen of someone who has lived in the past.
		Generally, one cannot move more than one class up or down in a lifetime, and one can't really move into (or out of) the upper classes at all; since their major criterion is that of breeding, one is either "bred" into them or not (marriage being a historically troublesome exception).

		In the United Kingdom "upper class" is now almost always used pejoratively, and British people are much more anxious to avoid being labelled "upper class" (or even "upper middle class") than their American equivalents, preferring to attempt to huddle together under an undifferentiated middle class designation.

	On "class warfare" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The connection between "upper class" and income and power was already getting cloudy when Jay Gatsby moved to West Egg, and by now it's almost too vague to define.
		Actually, those self-styled upper class voters were probably no different in income or social status from the ones who described themselves as upper-middle-class.
		That's the trick to all this talk of "class warfare." Middle-income Americans may be painfully aware of the gulf that separates them from the wealthy, but they don't think of those in terms of class lines.

	UPPER-CLASS MARRIAGE
		The main idea behind marriage in Victorian England between the middle and upper classes was that "marriage was a social duty, because it obliged the family and helped to widen social contacts" (Beckett 103).
		They were expected to either marry an heiress, who might possibly be of a lower class, or if their own family name was excellent, they would marry a girl from a wealthy family who desired a better name.
		The upper class had no choice but to marry, as insurance that the family name was carried on, and as a guarantee that the estate would not fall into anyone else's hands.

		Since the country’s founding, however, America has been at war with itself over issues of class, and, when confronted with the opposing democratic social currents of the late 20th century, each Lightfoot family member must decide what is and what is not acceptable as an American.
		In a larger sense Tom’s path to success, and the path to survival for the Lightfoot family as a coherent whole, is a passage through a battle of competing visions for the social framework of our country in the late 20th century.
		In the later half of the 20th century the upper class WASP community was marginalized as standardized test scores, not family connections, determined who got accepted at elite schools and colleges.
