OBS

Depuis les années 60, nous vivons dans une société-ruche, c'est-à-dire que les structures sociales ne sont plus pyramidales comme autrefois et que les possessions matérielles ne déterminent plus le statut social puisque presque tout le monde y a accès. Dans une société-ruche, tout ce qui relève du domaine du privilège caractérise le rang social.
