Week 4: Discussion Question 2
Grade:  15/15 (When combined with other DQ)
Professor:  Katherine Downey

Aristotle's tiered class system was, to some degree, implemented in feudalism.  The class architecture ultimately exploits the lower classes for personal gain.  A modern manifestation of this is the use of illegal immigrants as laborers.  The illegal immigrants can be taken advantage of because they have no legal rights, protection, nor voice.  Thus a non-egalitarian system will inherently exploit the lower classes, and prove to be an invalid form of government.
