In the report we can witness the intervention of the UCM teacher Carlos Peláez, his students and as the protagonist the author of the book "Chavz" Owen Jones published in 2011.

The main axis of the article talks about the parameters that people must comply with as members belonging to a society to define which social class belongs, the objective of this work is to determine what factors define the middle class taking into account theviews of different authors analyzing their experiences.

Social classes are linked to the customs and interests of certain groups of individuals of the same economic and social level. Social stratification is divided into three parts in its beginning, the upper class, the middle class and the lower class.
