Definition

Upperclass segregation refers to the practice of wealthy individuals living in exclusive neighborhoods, attending private schools, and socializing primarily with others of similar socioeconomic status. This form of segregation can create barriers between different social classes, limiting opportunities for interaction and understanding between people from different backgrounds. It can also perpetuate inequality and exacerbate social divisions within a community or society.
