TAmerican people use to live with myths regards its society’s structure and its mobility. Indeed, they think there is no social class and everyone has the amount of chance to succeed without considering any social origins. However, economic and social distinctions become increasingly important since 1960 's, so the level of inequality has never been so high. Recognizing there are inequalities in America, it would mean there is an unequal distribution of wealth, and consequently, the proof of the existence of social class.
Admitting social class exists in America would mean that the equality principle is not respected. Indeed, the study of social class is a the tool to understand the equality of chance in the USA. American and the model that follows live with the myth that everyone has the amount of opportunities to succeed. However, this popular belief is questioned with the emergence of a gap between the upper class, the middle one and the lower one.

Social class in the US shows how the economic segregation still exists and the social origin of a person is a driven factor for a chance to succeed.
