Notes on the article: Social Class in Cambodia
- This article is very short and does not give any citations but it has hyperlinks that take you to other wiki articles. - In Cambodia, the social status has changed many times throughout the years. - When Cambodia was pre-communist, there were only two major levels of social status, the upper and lower class. Upper class was ranked by whether you were apart of the government, military, religious leaders or the noble.royal families. If you were a peasant or a server to either of these groups, you were considered to be of lower class. Somewhere hidden and not really ever mentioned was a middle class that consisted of businessmen, white-collar workers, teachers, physicians, most of the Buddhist clergy, shopkeepers, clerks, and military officers of lower and middle rank. If you were of a different ethnic race than Cambodian, you were also considered middle class, and eventually, whatever family you were born in resulted in the social class that you were apart of. -Within the lower class, fewer status distinctions existed; those that did depended upon attributes such as age, sex, moral behavior, and religious piety. Traditional Buddhist values were important on the village level. Old age was respected, and older men and women received deferential treatment in terms of language and behavior. All else being equal, males generally were accorded a higher social status than females. Good character—honesty, generosity, compassion, avoidance of quarrels, chastity, warmth—and personal religious piety also increased status. Generosity toward others and to the wat was important. -- Template:Unsigned --> — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thhsalgado (talk • contribs) 20:46, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
