Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Max Weber believed that status groups, which are based on shared social honor and prestige, have a sense of community because their members are likely to share common values and act in unison. However, he saw classes as more of an economic category based on similar levels of wealth and income, and did not believe that they inherently created a sense of community.
