Social Structure during Industrial Revolution...

Money distributes everyone. 
Funny how it all started as soon as money really came into play in the 1820's .
I mean before that the "rich" and "poor' lifestyles somewhat were similar & they also shared many things between them. You had the gentlemen farmers who'd share so many conversations with the yeomen farmers. 
The rich and poor would attend the same churches or the meetinghouses.
But theeeeen came along with Industrialization.
Doesn't sound like it ..but yes; money does come into play here.
You had all the bankers, merchants, manufactures making the most money.
And then you has the middle class who would be the wage earners. The traders, the farmers; they'd primarily play the role of buying, selling and trading the goods.
Then you had the urban workers and the poor.
They'd be the people who'd have mostly the temporary and dangerous jobs. 
They'd be the ones who'd load ships, carried lumber and bricks, or dig out dirt and stones the build canals.

Ok , descriptions in their places ..but didn't they all a General thing overall?
& what is that ?
KEEP THE COMMUNITY RUNNING.

I just never have understood this whole deal with social classes ..
So, who cares about how much money someone has ?
They all did their jobs in order to keep the community or the place in order.
If even one of these people were to be missing in that community THEN, something would obviously be missing, no?
If the poor didn't carry that brick, then how would you get the ships done?
If the middle class didn't do all the trading then how would the economy increase?
If the Elites weren't the bankers then who'd handle the money?

I mean, it just doesn't make sense why it's so hard to appreciate everyone.
It still goes on today. 
& it is the sad truth. 
It's sad that money is the root cause of it.
But at the same time, it's also the truth that if we didn't have money then we would not be able to survive. 
I guess, one just has to try their hardest in the world to not be prejudice, racist, or judge anyone on anything.
It's hard. Why? We're only human.
But doesn't and shouldn't stop us from trying.
