Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Differences in social class determinants are shaped by a country's values, such as the importance placed on individual achievement (as in the US), the influence of traditional social hierarchies (as in India), or the emphasis on education and economic development (as in China and Singapore). Beliefs, religion, and customs may certainly play a role in shaping values, but they are not the primary determinants of social class distinctions.
