Do classical approaches to class remain relevant to contemporary societies? Your answer should refer to the work of Marx and/or Weber. ‘The word class has been used to describe broad and diffuse groupings within a national population that are seen as forming a set of layers or strata in a hierarchy, as in the terms ‘upper’, ‘middle’ and ‘lower’ class’.

Section 1: The issue of children being born out of wedlock while a subtle one, is still an issue severely affecting modern day America. At least, this is the claim of Rich Lowry in his article “Not Just the marrying Kind”, a persuasive essay emphasizing the importance of children being born within stable, two parent homes. Lowry uses an abundance of logos to back up his point across, as well as an urgent tone, and with a few logical fallacies involved.
