CLASS DEPENDENCY

One of the key terms of interpretive pragmatist sociology is class dependency, developed by H.A. Tanhaei since 1994[1], explained and expanded gradually through 2003 [2], up to the present time.

Class dependency cannot be explained through those sociological paradigms in which class structures is seen as something artificial, pre-determined. It’s through the lenses of interpretive approach that class affiliation indicates the dialectical reality of social setting. This social setting is based on people’s concurrent interpretations through joint actions within acting units. Class dependency is also an indicator which shows the excessive inclinations of a class immigrant .towards his/her social destination classi
