There are several classes of people in our societies, even if we do not tend to classify people as such. I have often heard of the terms class A, B, C, D and even E. There are first class and there are even those that are called low class.

There is a term called the elite and a term called the masses.

There is what we also call as old-rich, or those whose families were into businesses that has given them unquestionable wealth and prestige.

There is also what is called new rich or nouveau riche. More often, these so-called nouveau riche people are being scoffed off by the old rich. Why? The reason why would be because they are more aggressive, they used to belong to a lower class strata, they seem lacking in breeding and  are deemed “uncultured.”

For me, to become a nouveau riche or a self-made man is not a bad thing. I think this is even better because I know these people would not rest on their laurels. They have worked hard to be where they are and had not depended on the family’s fortune, prestige and class. As long as they do not step on other people’s toes, they have a right to the good standing that they are experiencing for themselves.
