Classes in Economics
There are are self believed classes in economics. People believe that they belongs to one class and beahave based on their class.Whatever happens outside their class doesn't affect them.These classes existed in all over the places.
Consider the people moving in a road, the person travellig in a car is only worried about the cars others possess. If he has a small sized car he is not worried about the people having BENZ or BMW. He is comparing his car with the same class and will be worried only if he see a better car in that class. Not by a BMW Z3 moving infront of him.The same way person travelling in a bike is worried about other better bikes and not about cars.
This happens in all domains. According to an old study normally you will be attracted to the opposit sex belonging to your class. When the love breaks class that was a story.
This classes make people confortable with the success they achived inside the class.
When this class structure is broken it create unrest and chaos. If you see in chennai the class structure is more or like rigid. It may have started from the cast system and now powered by the economics. This makes most of the people happy to stay in their class.
Consider the situation in kerala. Because of education advancement and the land reforms the class structure is almost broken. One other major reason is the so caled GULF effect. This creates descripencies in the already week class system.
There was a time in kerala were people beleaved only on educational class and not bothered about the economic and social classes. As and when the values shift towards money this shift towards economic class is also inevitable.
Consider two families staying in the near by houses with same economical and education classes.Then one person from the one family goes to gulf countries and this family become economically forward.The other family still beleave that both are in the same class, but economic difference are huge and imbalance creeps up.Soution to this problem is the awareness of economical class.
All these in the wake of the increasing number of suicides happening in kerala. Most of it has the reason of not accepting that their neighbours are moved to a high economic class or difficulty in staying in the same class they originally belong.
One reason why this is not prominent in other parts of india is the strong caste system. where still scocial class is the prominent class. Also the economical and the social class are more or less the same.
This class shifts occurs in all countries if they had a strong class system existed before which is not economical class. In the present scenario the economical class is gaining importance and acceptence of this fact make the people more unconfortable. People belonging to higer classes now find them in lower class based on the financial status. This happend in different time in different paces based on the existing system and economic growth.
