Class cont.
Class is a descriptive word used to illustrate groups that society members are placed in. We have all heard of the terms lower class, middle, and upper class. We place people into these categories depending on their "social standing". Things that could influence an individual or groups social standing are profession, income level, inherited wealth, family lineage, and so on (Benshoff and Griffin). Class standing can significantly impact someone's quality of life.
