The word class can be interpreted in many ways. The one definition I don't want to examine is the class structure, that people can be born into different "classes". I find that definition of the word class to be racist, stereotypical, and worthless to ponder because it has nothing to do with what you make of your life, it's a predetermined lable, and that bores me.

But what about when the word class is used to define a behavior? "That was a classy thing to do, that was classless" Does the word class hold any special place of merit in your life?

Is the word class simply a tool to get people to behave a certain way so that they can be controlled?

Or does the word class connote a worthwhile effort that is commensurate to the effort one puts out?
