QUE SIGNIFIE UPPER-CLASS EN ANGLAIS

Classe supérieure

Upper class

La classe supérieure dans les sociétés modernes est la classe sociale composée des membres les plus riches de la société, qui exercent également le plus grand pouvoir politique. Selon ce point de vue, la classe supérieure est généralement contenue dans les 2% les plus riches de la population et se distingue par une richesse immense qui passe d'une génération à l'autre. Cette définition populaire est cependant en contradiction avec la façon dont la classe supérieure se voit: en tant que membres de familles qui ont longtemps été distingués non seulement par la richesse ou la renommée qui sont apparemment accessibles à tous dans une société démocratique, mais plutôt par des générations de leadership en public Le service, l'éducation, la charité, l'armée et les arts. Parce que les classes supérieures d'une société ne peuvent plus gouverner la société dans laquelle elles vivent, elles sont souvent appelées les anciennes classes supérieures et elles sont souvent culturellement distinctes des classes moyennes nouvellement riches qui ont tendance à dominer la vie publique dans les démocraties sociales modernes .

The upper class in modern societies is the social class composed of the wealthiest members of society, who also wield the greatest political power. According to this view, the upper class is generally contained within the wealthiest 1-2% of the population, and is distinguished by immense wealth which is passed on from generation to generation. This popular definition is at odds, however, with how the upper class views itself: as members of families that have been long distinguished not merely by wealth or fame which are ostensibly available to all in a democratic society but rather by generations of leadership in public service, education, charity, the military, and the arts. Because the upper classes of a society may no longer rule the society in which they are living they are often referred to as the old upper classes and they are often culturally distinct from the newly rich middle classes that tend to dominate public life in modern social democracies.

10 CITATIONS EN ANGLAIS AVEC «UPPER-CLASS»

Citations et phrases célèbres avec le mot upper-class.

1

Michael Caine

If someone is very upper-class, you have a stereotype of him which is probably true. If someone has a working-class accent, you have no idea who you're talking to.

2

Ben Chaplin

When I first left drama school, I was too posh for the working-class parts and not posh enough for the upper-class roles. You know what England is like: the gradations of accent and how you're judged by them are still there. I discovered that to get a break you have to lie about where you're from.

3

Deepak Chopra

In every conversation I've had - with housewives in Mumbai, with middle-class people, upper-class, in the slums - everyone says there is an underlying consciousness of karma. That people believe in karma - that what you're putting out is going to come back. If I do something to you, the energy of it is going to come back to me in the future.

4

Henry Louis Gates

I believe in the law. I think we have a great system of justice. But I do think that system of justice has been corrupted by racism and classism. I think it's difficult for 'poor people' - poor white people, brown people - to be treated fairly before the law in the same way that upper-class people are.

5

Francois Gautier

I was born in Paris in 1950. I had a strict upper-class Catholic education but I never really fitted in the system and revolted against it quite early.

6

Spalding Gray

I was raised as an upper-class WASP in New England, and there was this old tradition there that everyone would simply be guided into the right way after Ivy League college and onward and upward. And it rejected me, I rejected it, and I ended up as a kind of refugee, really.

7

Phyllis Logan

'Downton Abbey' about upper-class posh people: of course it is.

8

Holly Near

White middle- and upper-class men have a longer journey to go than many people.

9

Lucas Neff

I'm a big John Steinbeck fan. Cormac McCarthy. I've always loved the stories of regular people. Mark Twain, too. When you look back at some of the epic writers of our country's history, very rarely do you find upper-class royalty. We seem to delve into the struggle of life and the labor of life much more frequently.

10

Stacy Schiff

We don't know how Cleopatra spent her days, but we do know how other Hellenistic monarchs spent their days. There has been a great amount of scholarship in the last 30 years about education in the Hellenistic world and women in the Hellenistic world. We now know how an upper-class woman was educated in her day.
