Baah, class system is only poohpoohed by people who dont benefit from it
Same was as social security
Race
Intelligence
Religion
Benefit
Wars

And anything else.

Its all very yawn worthy

Arguing about class is sooooo 1980's

First question is right lower class is less informed about the things that are going to happen.
Second thing is wrong In every class there are intelligent People.
Thisrd questions answer Vary person to person as each person treat the other one differently.
I dont know the answer of the lst one.

If we are talking about the narrow meaning of intelligence, it is possible for an upper class to be more "intelligent" than a lower class, but that's only if they have an access to education which the lower class doesn't.

But the whole upper, middle and lower class -idea is somewhat unfamiliar to me. At least here in Finland, we actually don't think of any classes these days, although the diffirance between poor and rich has started to become bigger (again?).

Intelligence and education/knowledge is not the same thing.

A far larger percentage of the working/lower class children fail school than those of the middle/upper classs. This does not mean that they are stupid! If you are poorly educated parents (agin, they dont have to be stupid) chances are that your education will suffer. They wont be able to help you with your homework, and they will most likley not give you as much encuragement to studdy.

Yes people do treat those of different classes in a different way. I get the feeling that people from the upper classes dont expect those from the working class to perform verry well in the intelectual fields. I have seen & experianced that first hand.

Is the Lower class less informed than middle or high class society? - Potentially yes as higher class have better choice (Education)

Are the Higher class more intelliegent or just luckier in life than those below them? - Intelligence is a born trait, being trained how to use comes under part 1. There is no such thing as luck.

Do people treat those of a different class (in thier opinion) any different? - Yes, mostly

Does the lower class really know no different? - Dont understand the question.

There, that was easy, not sure how you all managed 38 posts on the matter

Well I think bringing in the marxist definition of class kind of warped the discussion a bit.

This was too difficult to comment on..
I can sum up my thoughts by saying I dont think Classes exsist anymore.. It used to be that only the Upper class or Upper Middle Class were rich.. but in the last few generations its all changed and now its not so much your Class.. as it is your Wealth.

I`m not even happy with that conclusion...

It used to be a case that your wealth or income would determine your social standing in society.. If that were still true today then are we to believe Michael Carrol is Upper Class?.. The Idea of Class was great in the 1600`s but it doesnt exsist today..

Ever watch Sharpe?.. it may be fiction but thats a great look at different classes and the people in them

not true in fact if i remember correctly this is why middle class came about because too many working class people got rich though changes in industry and the upper classes looked down on them as they didnt have the breeding so not so much a matter of wealth as birth.
On the education thing it doesnt have to matter what school you send them to as long as you take the time to teach them at home so long as you have access to the interwebs either through home or through a public library you have all sorts of learning resources you shouldnt solely rely on the school. I am probably most peoples definition of lower class im 25 unwed got three kids dont own my home and receive some benefits yet both my eldest could count up to and past 100 by the time they were three Azia has learning difficulties which made her grasp of reading and writing difficult but shes still up to speed on those with the rest of her class and Auron can read and write as well as most 7 year olds and hes 4 and all this with out huge amounts of money for extra teaching private nurserys or those bloody kumon or muzzy courses for kids so class or money need not make a difference

Phil Lynx

Well.. that quote is still true isnt it?.. your wealth and income would determine your social standing.. be it upper.. middle or lower..
If you had the money you could buy yourself into the classes with titles etc..
tbh I dont know enough about the subject to really put together an argument..
