The Maya social classes is a system of social organization. It is divided in ahau (king), nobles, priests, merchants and artists, and peasants and slaves.
Famous quotes containing the words social and/or classes:
“I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won’t contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That’s what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
“Of all classes the rich are the most noticed and the least studied.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
