Social Class
The social class of an individual can change over time, but mostly remains stable. Those of higher social class are better off financially, therefore having more access to education, networks, power, positionality, and other resources that those of lower social class do not have. Because of this, they are often more respected as well. This influences the experiences of an individual, how they are perceived by others, how they perceive themselves, and their formation of identity.

Theory of Cultural and Social Reproduction
The theory of cultural and social reproduction is a sociological theory proposed by Pierre Bourdieu and explains that aspects of culture and society are passed down from generation to generation. Parents are able to structure their children's educational journeys and the course of their future lives by passing down what resources they obtain. This theory also explains that social structures and social hierarchies are reinforced and reproduced through this process.

Social Groups
Within social structures, there are different social groups in which individuals belong to. Members of social groups share experiences, beliefs, and attitudes, leading them to feel a shared sense of identity and distinction from other groups.
