I am doing an essay on Empathy and the enemies of empathy. While I have mentioned, ethnocentrism and racism along with sexism as enemies and given examples. I would like to include classism but need a current example for classism. Thanks

Answer 1

Classism:

The caste system in India and other places, as well as apartheid in South Africa, were extreme instances of classism. Both are now outlawed, but these things are culturally embedded and take a long time to "straighten out."

You can find classism within the US if you consider socio-economic levels.
