7 Photos That Capture Shocking Differences In Social Classes (IMAGES)

Throughout history it has been very apparent that there are generally three distinct classes of people; the poor, the less poor, and the very rich. The “middle class” is a phenomenon of recent centuries. No matter how much the government tries to subsection us, rename us, and create different social groups, it always falls back to these three main groups of people.

Unfortunately, in this day and age, the middle class is disappearing and it seems that soon we may be looking at two social cultures; the extremely poor, and the extremely rich.

These?seven pictures capture the contrast of diverse social classes, side by side in the same photo. Not much has changed over time.
