Wharton describes popular attitudes that used to
define New York upper class existential mode, at
the end of 19 th century. In its turn, this gives

Ambulance Drivers Upper Class

exist which elevate particular members of society
above others. These distinctions may be based upon

these status groups may be harmless, when
prejudice prevents the movement of individuals or
social groups between and within classes, valuable
human resources are being put to waste. This issue
was of concer...

humans are always searching for a way to fulfill
both needs. Minor Fuglesang and Georg Simmel use
