What are the two major components of social class? Explain and comment on each component (such as which is more important)

What will be an ideal response?

1. Occupational prestige—this one way to evaluate the "worth" of people. Hierarchies of occupational prestige tend to be quite stable over time, and they tend to be similar in societies as diverse as Brazil, Ghana, Turkey, and Japan. If one had to choose only one indicator of social class, it would be occupation, for it is strongly linked to other variables such as use of leisure time, allocation of family resources, political orientation, and so on.
2. Income—income itself is often not a very good indicator of social class, but the way it is spent is revealing.
