N2  - Modern "class" theories view social classes as socio-economic entities  which are defined by cultural values and norms, as well as the material  standing of individuals. Industrialization gives rise to a three-class  society, in which an intermediate class has emerged. This middle class  ranges from the non-manual white-collar workers who enjoy a better  social and economic position than the manual workers of the working  class, to the skilled technical experts who stand just below the "rich"  upper class in the social structure. Middle class is often seen as an  urban phenomenon. Various fields of study have researched the  middle class and its potential as a strong social driving force. Through  the review of literature, this paper attempts to understand the middle  class as a socio-economic institution of modern societies
