THE CASTE SYSTEM

THE CASTE SYSTEM

The caste system evolved from the Indians. It was built and formed because for the Indians, they need to become organized, developed and to have a proper social contact with each other. It is also built to distinguish Aryans from non-Aryans. Caste system is the classification of people based on their genes or heredity.

If you are going to ask me if it is democratic, for me it is not because upon forming it, a great barrier was formed between the upper class and the lower class of people. Slaves cannot socialize freely with others especially with the nobles and priests and they are given with less attention, rights and freedom. When it comes to the higher class, it is opposite because they are given much respect and privilege. There was also deprivation and demoralization because in this classification, there is a group which is called the "untouchables" or "outcasts". They are the people who do not belong to any caste and with that is the ignorance and deprivation of their rights and freedom in all aspects. Lastly, it is not democratic because as what i have said earlier, caste system is based on genetics and it is hereditary. That means if you are born as a slave, the rest of your descendants will become slaves too and you will not experience the luxury and freedom in life ever.

I am not in favor with this kind of social stratification.

EGYPTIANS' SOCIAL CLASSES
-- was divided into 5:
1. nobles and royal families

2. scribes
3. merchants, artisans and wealthy farmers
4. peasants
5. slaves

--the advantages of this social classification are:
1. The people during that time can recognize on which classification they belong to.
2. People who should be given with higher respect are given with that particular thing.
3. People who are educated and learned can emphasize their knowledge more because sometimes, those who are not highly classified are given with less attention.

-- the disadvantages of this social classification are:
1. People are not treated equally.
2. People who are poor are given with less respect and attention.
3. People who are on the higher class are abusive of their rights and power.
4. People who are on the lower classes are not given with enough rights.

-->> these are the advantages and disadvantages of the social classification in Egypt.

Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are.

"Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are."

this means that whoever we are going with and staying with everyday, their attitudes, characteristics and actions can also become ours too. For example, if we are with good and righteous people, then we are also good and righteous people because we will/can acquire who they are and what they are. With this, we should learn how to choose carefully the people we will go with.
