Here are some more information for Upper Class:

There are three types of home builders in America today. There is the "high end custom home builder", the "production builder", and the "small, hands-on builder". While there are variations and hybrids within these three categories, these are the basic types at work today. The trick for the prospective buyer is to identify which one is the best match for their pocketbook and home style demands.

The High End Custom Home Builders normally work out of expensive offices and drive new vehicles and maintain all the trappings of success and professionalism that the upper class feels comfortable with. They tend to be very good at what they do, but their overhead and expertise come at a high price.

A custom home's plan is often drawn by an architect who spends a lot of time interviewing the customer, drawing rough drafts, and making revisions before coming up with a final draft. Normally, a professional designer will be part of the decision-making process involving colors and finishes. The customer usually secures the construction loan and land. The building process is always lengthy and requires a lot of focus on the builder's part to assure quality and coordination. In other words, it is not something most new home buyers can afford.

What they can afford is some variation of a Production Home Builder's model homes. This is the way it is now and always has been in modern America. In the old days Sears and Roebucks sold thousands of homes by way of mail order catalogs. There is nothing wrong with the system, it enables the masses to afford the American Dream. Customer dissatisfaction normally occurs because buyers often want and probably deserve more attention paid to their individual home.

The problem is not that Production Home Builders are not good at building homes that follow normal building procedures within their system. That is what they have become proficient at and chances are that a new home buyer will end up reasonably satisfied if they stick to the builder's stock plans and options. The problem with most builders that build more than 15 or 20 houses a year is that they are not good at making changes outside their box.

Many Production Home Builders are aware of their limitations in customization as well as their strengths in production home building. The popular term "pre-sold home" is commonly used to get the notion of "custom" out of the buyers mind. The buyer is allowed to buy the builder's product any time before completion and select from a list of options when possible, but it is the builder's home until the customer pays for it with their final mortgage loan. It is a fair way of doing business.

Trouble often arises when Production Home Builders ignore their limitations and attempt to customize a home outside their comfort zone. Most Production Home Builders started their careers building just a few houses a year and were able to build anything that came along and so they reason they should still be able to even though they are no longer "hands on" and have to work through their staff. They also want to give their customer what they want and so they bend their rules to make the customer happy and get the sale.

The customer wanting special features or techniques in their new home are often frustrated with the Production Home Builder's parameters. They would be better served to look outside the big new sub-divisions where Production Home Builders have all the lots tied up and search for the Small, Hands-on Home Builder. Some of these builders are new and may be on their way to becoming production builders, but the majority are seasoned builders who prefer to build as few as 3 or 4 houses a year. They are not interested in running a big business, but instead just want to make a good living doing something they are good at and enjoy doing.

They are not as easy to find, but every city has many of them and they have been building the American Dream far longer than Sears and Roebucks and their modern day counterparts. They are the craftsmen builders who are often proficient at several trades and have a firm grasp on all the rest involved in home building. Many began as laborers on a framing crew and spent years learning the carpentry trade before gaining the experience and where-with-all needed to build their first home.

While the High End Custom Home Builder takes care of the upper class and the Production Home Builders take care of the masses, the Small, Hands-on Home Builders are the ones taking care of the new home buyers looking for something in between. It is often a perfect fit because they need each other. The Small, Hands-on Home Builder needs the work these customers provide and they have more time to pay attention to each project because they are usually physically working on it and not running a large home building operation. The customer with special demands and desires needs the small builder who welcomes their requests for individuality and sees them as challenges to be carried out with pride and proficiency, resulting in profit for them and satisfaction for the home owner.

An Upper Class Removal Company

When it comes to finding a removal company, there are some you just know aren't going to cut it. You'll know them when you see them. They'll be trundling along the road in a dusty, beaten up old lorry with flaking sign writing and bits of rag hanging off strategic exits.

The driver will launch himself out of the cab, complete with cigarette and three days beard growth that contains particles of breakfast.

Seeing a removal company like this turn up outside your door on moving day will cause even the sturdiest heart to drop. You just know things are going to get dropped, broken and do disappearing acts. After all, first impressions do count.

No such removal company will be seen hanging around outside prestigious establishments such as Sotheby's auction house. However, they do still need such services and are quite particular about who they use, as are their customers.

Once this auction house is closed at the end of the day, it is time for the removal company to come in and move items that have been sold, either to their final destination or into secure storage. However, had they done this on the day of the visit of the American Ambassador they would have got more than they bargained on.

At the end of the day, the auction house was closing and staff were beginning to shut up shop. Doors were locked, lights were switched off from one central point and a dark, quite calm came over the place. All apart from one section. This was the section where the Ambassador, his guide and his bodyguards were still present.

Panic set in as the party thought they were under terrorist attack. The Ambassador and his wife were surrounded by the guards while the guide tried to find an exit that was still open. This was a blunder of astronomic proportions and I'm sure heads will roll. That could just look at it as an exercise in security - after all, everybody pulled together, it worked and the Ambassador was safe.

Can you imagine him being shuffled out the back door and being met by the removal company? Talk about undignified!

Still, at least it wouldn't have been the removal man with the bearded breakfast. No such person would be seen at such a place. This is for the disgustingly rich. The sort of rich that get offered a very exclusive Sotheby's Master Card.

This Master Card will gain you access to private exhibitions and sales by invitation only. It will also provide free access to museums - like they need it! The car comes with many perks including special concierge treatment. Like the rich don't already get it? Surely, the only extras left to gain are the ones that involve you being carried to your room and placed in an iron lung?

The tone of owning this card has been lowered slightly in that the more you use it the more 'points' you gain but they have redeemed themselves by making these points amount to your own private auctioneer that will hold a charity auction for you. That is, of course, if you choose not to use the points towards private visits, tours helicopter tours, VIP access to fashion events in Paris, New York and LA, private safaris or to buy yourself walk on parts in TV shows.

The Sotherby's Master Card is by invitation only - and only if you have over two million in assets. This really puts to shame the reward of a fiver off your shopping that most store cards offer. Let's hope they still have the sense to employ the non-breakfast holding bearded man from the removal company.

How could you tell Disney characters are upper class?

I just notice certain patterns in each of the Disney couples and was wondering if you could help me find visuals to describe upper class in disney characters.

Thanks

well some of the characters definitely are high class, but not all of them are.
you can tell some are upper class because they're royalty, e.g. Princess Aurora, and Prince Charming...
Aurora wears a tiara at the end of the film.

They wear posh clothing (for the time they and land they are in), usually dresses, or other gorgeous clothes. (link to examples below)

Even if they aren't rich, they are usually graceful, elegant and extremely beautiful.
Plus, the way they speak, if they are part of the higher class, is usually dignified, or (there's isn't really another way to put it) princesss-like.

hope that helped, ^_^

De Klerk: South Africa specializes in miracles
For Nobel Peace Prize laureate F.W. De Klerk, soccer in South Africa has changed as much as the country itself. From growing up in an upper class white setting and never considering playing the sport, to the reality of today with every hue of the "rainbow nation" rooting for Bafana Bafana at the World Cup, the former president has witnessed an amazing transformation.
