Growing up with the family I had shaped me into who I am based on friendships made early on that continued as I got older.

Social class is based on how and where you are raised. It shapes you into who you are by how your surroundings are and the people you grow up with in the same social class, influencing who you are as a person.

Social Class is the differences between quality of living of different people. People in a lower social class might develop habits of trying to save money, while people in a higher social class dont have to worry about it as much.

Social class is the hierarchical social structure that holds up society, where you have no choice in where you're placed, and where youre forced to stay. Its very unlikely you'll never move up, it's not guaranteed if you are higher up that you will stay there and because of that pretty much all of your life you will live amongst other like-minded people with similar situations as you.

Social class, a hierarchy based on income, wealth, education, and occupation which shapes our identity, both externally and internally. Higher social classes have better access to resources, leading to increased confidence and ambition, while lower classes face structural barriers.
