Upper middle class - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There is considerable debate as to how the upper middle class might be defined (whether by education, wealth, or the prestige or skill level of their profession). This emphasis placed on education should not come as a surprise considering that most people in the upper middle class are professionals who often hold graduate degrees. Most people in the upper-middle class strata are highly educated professionals such as Physician, Lawyer, University Professor, Architect, Engineer, and high level Civil Servants. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Upper_middle_class   (893 words)

Middle class - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the United States, by the end of the twentieth century, more people identified themselves as middle class than as lower or "working" class, with statistically insignificant numbers identifying themselves as upper class. Descending from this distinction, the phrase "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. 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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Middle_class   (1491 words)

Social Class and Television The middle class was portrayed this way too, but less so. Class has seldom been considered in audience research either, although media researchers from the British cultural studies tradition, through their applications of ethnographic audience research, have recently directed more attention to this topic. The few studies that have considered class found that there were no class differences in children's susceptibility to violence on television, in contrast to the usual stereotype of working class children being more likely to be led into such behavior. www.museum.tv /archives/etv/S/htmlS/socialclass/socialclass.htm   (2119 words)

Catallarchy » Middle Class Bad, Take 2 Yes, those in the upper middle class do pay slightly higher marginal rates on a very small portion of their incomes due to the phasing out of certain deductions. The upper and lower classes are more free, because the lower classes just don’t give a damn, and the upper classes enjoy the luxury of being expected to do whatever they please, because they have the money and power to extricate themselves from whatever difficulties they get themselves into. The middle class all live in the same general type of housing, hold “regular"jobs, subscribe to essentially the same legal and religious precepts or face sensure. catallarchy.net /blog/archives/2006/02/09/middle-class-bad-take-2   (1227 words)

upwomen The upper middle class was composed of the wives and daughters of merchants, businessmen, some skilled artisans, landowners, and bureaucrats. The clothing of women of the middle and noble classes is similar in style and construction, but there is considerable variety in the intentions and styles of the two groups. Upper class skirts were almost always straight rectangular panels, very occasionally slight gored. www.directcon.net /wander/upwomen.htm   (3733 words)

Marin County Heart of the Forest Renaissance Faire For the upper middle class, fabrics remain the wools and linens but are finer quality, and can include bits of silk and velvet.

DYSKE - Beyond “Upper” Art Since the tastes of the upper-middle class and the upper class are quite different, the artists who please the former may find themselves stuck with a moderate success, unable to achieve the status of “blue chip” artists. In this sense, Fine Arts should be called “upper art” not “high art.” Most artists are in the middle class when they start their careers as artists, but for them to be successful, they must cultivate the taste of the upper class. For the upper-middle class, art must still be functional to a degree. www.dyske.com /index.php?view_id=818   (1177 words)

Of those who are statistically in the middle class, 13.3% of the heads of household over 25 years of age have less than a high school education.

AEQ 304 Book Reviews Because the upper middle class is not as clearly defined (or as economically secure) as it once was, parents want an education that will create autonomy, confidence, and economic independence in their daughters. “Class Identities in the Borderlands” and “Race Identities in the Borderlands” (chapters 3 and 4) chronicle class and racial identity construction among students, the majority of whom are “not only constructed at the cultural center as upper middle-class students, but are themselves actively engaged in decentering class [and race] power and privilege” (p. As a result, contradictions arise between the school’s expectations of its students (which reflect a white upper-middle-class culture) and the cultural capital and ways of viewing the world that heterogeneous students bring to and live out in school. www.aaanet.org /cae/aeq/br/proweller.htm   (800 words)

Class and Leisure The elite class must therefore constantly search out new forms of leisure, which means that leisure will continue to evolve as long as there are social divisions of classes. Class distinctions have been present in every society since the beginning of time.

Colombia - Middle Class The upper middle class gradually merged into the elite class and was composed primarily of professionals, medium-sized landowners, entrepreneurs, managerial personnel, and some government bureaucrats. They often did not consider themselves members of the middle group and continually attempted to regain a place in the upper class by modeling their manners, behavior, and attitudes on those of the elite. The diversity of the middle class, which placed some of its members scarcely above the lower class in life-style and income and others on the lower edge of the upper class, was striking. countrystudies.us /colombia/40.htm   (674 words)

Part 2.8 - The Road to Wigan Pier - George Orwell, Book, etext The upper-middle class, which had its heyday in the eighties and nineties, with Kipling as its poet laureate, was a sort of mound of wreckage left behind when the tide of Victorian prosperity receded. I never open one of Kipling’s books or go into one of the huge dull shops which were once the favourite haunt of the upper-middle class, without thinking ‘Change and decay in all around I see’. Probably the distinguishing mark of the upper-middle class was that its traditions were not to any extent commercial, but mainly military, official, and professional. whitewolf.newcastle.edu.au /words/authors/O/OrwellGeorge/prose/RoadToWiganPier/wiganpierpart_8.html   (4342 words)

An Upper Middle Class Evening --- midclass.html A few weeks back, when GZ was still talking to me, she took it into her head to introduce me to the life of "an upper middle class" Chinese household.

Parks Therefore, for the upper-middle class, the role of the park could center around the private living museum that they had wished for in the first place for they did not have to worry about being integrated with the working class because of the park's economic and political structure. This intimacy coerced the upper middle class to yet again fully separate itself through the use of alternative environments in order to achieve the spatial and social isolation it had aspired since the installment of England's very first public parks.

Kristin Tyler The upper-middle class consciousness is prevalent on the Boston College campus, and may even be so strong that it has wiped out the existence of any other class consciousness, such as that of the working class. It is obvious that the upper-middle class consciousness at this school has a major effect on the way in which working class students view themselves in relation to it. My hypothesis is that there is no real class consciousness among these students, and that perhaps it has been wiped out by a campus that is too ingrained in upper-middle class values and assumptions. www2.bc.edu /~tylerk/thesis.htm   (10599 words)

On "class warfare" 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. In fact my guess is that if you asked him, Welch would be quick to describe himself as upper-middle-class, pointing out that he still prefers beer to wine. But it's significant that Brooks started that list with "the rich," rather than "the upper class."

Upper-Middle vs. Upper-Class--Where to draw the line?? Upper class if you don't have to show up at a job and you still can buy everything you want; upper-middle if you know how much you make in salary--and care when you get a raise. We can put $40G a year into retirement; we don't apply for financial aid; etc. But we are definitely "upper middle class" and cannot TOUCH the wealthy upper classes. I think that what divides the upper middles from the uppers or the middles has far less to do with money than with, well, class. www.collegeconfidential.com /discus/messages/70/79101.html   (10324 words)

The Washington Monthly It isn't a question of "how fair is it that upper middle class people should pay more taxes than the lower and middle middle", but rather, "how fair is it that the upper middle class people should pay more taxes than the flat out rich people". As someone who would be upper-middle class if I didn't still owe the feds more than I made last year, I wouldn't mind personally paying a few points more in my taxes, as long as I had some semblance of confidence in knowing the thing wasn't rigged for the obscenely rich. The upper middle class, by contrast, has nothing. www.washingtonmonthly.com /archives/individual/2005_04/006077.php   (6382 words)

Upper-Middle-Class Whites - Stormfront White Nationalist Community If I remember correctly Hitler called them the bourgeois, upper middle class who owned property, probably businesses, and looked down their noses at the working class - or common man.

The CounterRevolutionary Readers of the CounterRevolutionary should not be surprised, that "populist" themes really appeal to the upper middle class (and their struggle against the upper class). If you look at my approach to describing socialism, you remember that I say that the real goal of socialism is getting the upper middle class to best the ruling class. The need to provide union jobs to the middle classes outweighs, in the eyes of the Left, the need to provide the poor with an opportunity to prosper. thecr.blogspot.com /2002_08_01_thecr_archive.html   (15677 words)
