Extract

It has been argued that the social class system is not as simple or straightforward as it used to be. Many years ago the class divisions were quite simple. The upper class consisted of Royalty; kings and queens, there were a few middle class, followed by the working class; peasants.
However, nowadays, the social class system is much more complex. Firstly, the upper class consists of many different groups of people such as Royalty, Capitalists and entrepreneurs, and jetsetters. They are very powerful and very wealthy members of society.
