Elizabethan Age Upper Class
553 words
The Audience of the Shakespearean Theater During
the Elizabethan Age there were different social
classes. What you wore depended upon the social
class to which you belonged. It was easy to

dress for the theater, and also where they sat to
watch the performance. The lower class, also
called peasants, were poorer people. Most were
merchants or servants. A peasant man would wear a
tunic or shirt, and breeches of some kind. He
would also wear a laced-u...

Thesis: Feudalism Feudalism Thesis: Feudalism was
a bust because it started a way of putting things
into classes and that way of life has continued
until today. The reason that classifying things
was and still is incorrect is because the
guidelines for the classifications might not be
pleasing to all those affected by the different
levels in society. Feudalism was not just a system
that was practiced in Europe, but also in Japan
and China while similar organization was followed
in Africa and als...

In Some Principles of Stratification, Davis and
More define the functional theory of
stratification as the notion that societies need
inequality in order to fill the important
occupations wanted by society. The best people
need motivation to take the most important jobs,
and that motivation comes in the form of rewards,
usually a higher income. However, this theory does
not explain why inequality in the United States
has been on the rise. In William Wilsons The Truly
Disadvantaged, Frank Levy ex...

High School Diploma Lower Classes

When you are placed in a specific class either by
society or by you, the life chances can be very
different. The life chances of employment may be
limited if you are on the lower class level. For
example, the resume you hand in may only work for
factory level jobs. The factory may not require
anything but a high school diploma. On the other
hand, it would be more difficult to obtain a high
paying job with only a high school diploma. For
instance, a doctorate degree is required to become
a doctor...
