Most societies, especially nation states, seem to have some notion of social class. However, class is not a universal phenomenon. Many hunter-gatherer societies do not have social classes, often lack permanent leaders, and actively avoid dividing their members into hierarchical power structures. it is impossible to have a classless society as different people or groups may have very different ideas about what makes one "higher" or "lower" in the social hierarchy.. the most basic class distinction between two group of people is between the power and the powerless. Social classes with more power usually subordinate classes with less power, while attempting to cement their own power positions in society. Social classes with a great deal of power are usually viewed as elites, at least within their own societies. power may be linked to physical strength, and therefore age, gender, and physical health are common delineators of class. In societies where classes exist, one's class is determined largely by: 1) occupation. 2) education and qualifications. 3) income, personal and household. 4) wealth, including the ownership of land, property, means of production. 5) family background. concluding the topic aa vud like to add that even animals have class discrimination and by god's grace we are born social animals, so vats wrong...it can't be avoided..
