Answer 1

Civilization and Social Class

Here I shall suggest you points solely based on the best knowledge available. Points shall be picked up from the below discussion and answer shall be delivered as per convenience.

As the human being evolved through ages, so did civilization. During the period of pre-civilization, all human being were equal and they depended on each other and lived in lieu with nature maintaining a peaceful life. Although civilization is an outcome of human intelligence, it was seen to divide people into a different class as well. With civilization man became more egoistic. There was the development of society and culture in human being making the life of humans far better than pre-civilization overcoming several odds faced by the human in the past. But with civilization, there were issues as well. People living a society was split into several classes with unequal distribution of wealth and resources. It was also seen that some of the social class were slaves, while others were masters. With civilization, there was a competition among people to shift to a higher class to enjoy larger resource and wealth. Ancient society was divided into classes based on wealth acquired and skills procured. In modern-day we do not see much of a difference in social class, although it exists, discrimination is never as high as the ancient times. Today, any man belonging to any class can do everything possible to reach the level he wishes as money is the deciding factor today which is universal and bounds no rule to any particular individual.
