So-called middle-class values do not have a single, agreed definition, but are said by various writers and politicians to include such qualities as hard work, self-discipline, thrift, honesty, aspiration and ambition. Thus, people in lower or upper classes can also possess middle-class values, they are not exclusive to people who are actually middle-class. Contemporary politicians in Western countries frequently refer to such values, and to the middle-class families that uphold them, as worthy of political support.〔 == Contrasts == Middle-class values can be contrasted with other values that may be held by other people belonging to other classes and historical time periods, such as: * Tribal thinking or clannishness * Contentment with a low material standard of living * Valorisation of strength and petty violence * Anti-intellectualism * Criminality * A life of easy leisure and being served by servants (a value often exhibited by the upper classes), as opposed to hard work 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Middle-class values」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
