Social grading

‘Friends’ – social grading

Pheobe Buffay: Looking at the social grading on my previous post you can see that she would be in the section C2. She is a masseuse and therefore her work isn’t always stable and she would be a skilled worker. He wages also are not at the highest level and therefore that would bring her down the scale. Maslow’s hierarchy needs would place Pheobe within the Aesthetic needs as her work represents beauty and that is her focus.

Rachel Green: Looking at the social grading on my previous post you can see that she would be in the social grading level D. she is a sales assistant and therefore you only need basic skills to do this, her wages are also low. However when she gets promoted she would move up the scale into C1 as she would be a supervisor and earning more money. Placing her on the Hierarchy of needs she would be on the level of self-actualization, this would be due to her knowing what she wants to do in the future and finding her passion.

Monica Geller: Looking at the social grading on my previous post you can see that Monica would be at C2. She is a professional chef and therefore has skills of a manual worker, however it was based on her financial aspects she would be higher up the scale.

When looking at Maslow’s Hierarchy needs scale she would be safety needs and self-actualization, this is due to her knowing about health needs and wellbeing but also knowing her potential.

Joey Tribiane: Looking at the social grading on my previous post you can see that Joey would be within the B section as well as Ross, this is due to his job, him being an actor. However depending on his stability of work and constant employment he could move down into C2. Looking at the Hierarchy needs you can see joey would be safety needs and esteem needs, this allowing him to have his financial support and benefits but also building his esteem and confidence.

Ross Geller: Looking at the social grading on my previous post you can see that Ross would be within the B level. This is due to his job, being a palaeontologist, which within the table is noticed as a teacher. His wealth is fairly high but not as high as Chandlers.

If you put Ross in the Hierarchy of needs you can see he would be within the need to know and understand section, this due to the fact of what his job entails.

Chandler Bing: Looking at the social grading on my previous post you can see that Chandler would be on the level A in social grading status. This is due to him being an accountant. He works in an upper class place and is very skilled. He is also very wealthy due to his income. Looking at the Hierarchy of needs you can see that chandler would be within the need to know and understand, this alike Ross due to what his job entails.
