QUESTION

Class membership in the United States is determined to a much greater degree by individual background and schooling, as opposed to economic achievements.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

ANSWER

FALSE
The class system in the United States is less pronounced than in Britain and mobility is greater. Like Britain, the United States has its own upper, middle, and working classes. However, class membership in the United States is determined to a much greater degree by individual economic achievements, as opposed to background and schooling.
