Society across cultures has primarily been segregated into a set of hierarchical social categories: the most common being the upper, middle, and lower classes. However, the social stratification is unequal and puts a larger section into the underprivileged class. To strike a balance, it’s essential that the privileged class lend a helping hand to the under privileged by sharing the basic essentials needed for every individual being to prosper to its optimal.
