PERCEPTIONS OF SOCIAL CLASS In Week 1, you considered the way that people perceive themselves in terms of social class. This week, you are examining how people perceive others in terms of social class. As a reminder, social class ranks people according to their importance in society. People may perceive different ranks of social class based on race, power, wealth, and other characteristics. Ranking people as low class, middle class, and high class is called stratification.

Some of the authors of the Readings in the course text suggest that the United States is developing a tri- racial stratification system which ties social class to race. According to these authors, a preliminary map of the tri-racial system identifies "whites" as high, "honorary whites" in the middle, and "collective black" as low. This stratification is based primarily on skin tone. Therefore, if you look white you will be perceived as high in the stratification. The darker your skin tone, the lower your rank in the stratification system.

In other Readings, the authors tie social class to power and wealth. People who are perceived as having a great deal of authority in their jobs are considered to be powerful. Powerful people hold a high rank in social class. Additionally, people who are financially well off are considered to be in a high rank because of their wealth. Perceptions of social class can be complex since they can be based on race, power, and wealth.
