Societies around the world live by social class systems. The United States of America’s social class system is called a “socioeconomic social class system”. Many of the societies around the world are primarily a form of an “international caste system”. Each society defines the caste system differently, including:
A Legacy based caste system, a Parent based caste system, a Race based caste system and a Societal based caste system.
- A Legacy Caste is historically a social system which communities are separated into hereditary groups (Family).
- A Parent Caste is a social class system that is determined at birth, you are what your parents are. If your parents are educated , you are required to get educated, etc.
- A Race Caste is when the social structure is divided by heredity (Racism).
- A Societal Caste is a social system were the groups are assigned at birth and does not consider personality (this implies it does not depend on heredity).
The United States of America’s Socioeconomic Social Class System, simply, has three class systems that have there own subdivisions, Upper Class, Middle Class, and te Lower Class. The social structure is based on an individual’s own accomplishments. The United States of America’s childhood educational system is free and this implies equal opportunity.
Purpose of Publication
The purpose of this publication is to educate non-caste system based societies about this form of socialization and offer supporting information, results, and recommendations for immigrants from caste systems to better fuse into the United States of America’s Socioeconomic Social Class System.
Supporting Information
International Social Caste Systems and the Socioeconomic Social Class System are external forces that support society. Socialization, external, is evaluated by interactions with the outside world.
Timely television News reports have documented the harassment the immigrants have experienced. Limited understanding and interpretation of English increases the emotional stress a “New American” may experience.
Educating immigrants on laws and customs of the United States of America may reduce the amount of reports on immigrant’s harassment.
Purpose of the Research
This is a Longitudinal Research Study, published by TMSC Consulting Services®, LLC , physically conducted by The International Library of Paranormal Psychology®, and named by TMSC International®.
This Longitudinal Research Study has developed Recommendations for immigrant fusion from a social caste system to the United States of America’s Socioeconomic Social Class System.

Results
The results of the descriptions of social interaction during structured activities and served meals, communication on life history, conversations, oral assessments (reading, math, manners), structured interview questions through conversations/communication and all follow-ups include:
- The United States of America holds some values of social caste systems with the socioeconomic social class system. The most common seen are Parent Caste (you are what your parents are) and Race Caste (divided by heredity). An Upper Class caste commonly used in the Socioeconomic Social Class System is the Legacy Caste, many organizations pass membership to future generations.
- Social Class Systems are a living cultural system that influences and develops beliefs for:
-
Ethnic Heritage, Economic Standing, Educational Status, Social Valued, Cultural Values, Marriage, Economic Mobility, Social Mobility, Ownership, Geographic Location, Religion, and Social Interactions/Relationships with the general society.
- Social Class Systems are reinforced through learning models. The field’s of Psychology and Education, in the United States of America, have studied and named many of them.
- Socialization within a social caste or class system at the “Group Level” of similarities and differences include:
-
1. Race, 2. Sexual Orientation, 3. Marital Status, 4. Religious Status, 5. Culture, 6. Ability/Disability, 7. Ethnicity, 8. Geographic Location, 9. Age, 10. Socioeconomic Status, 11. Gender. The social caste system “Societal Caste”, a group assignment at birth and not by personality, uses these factors, in a positive or negative group placement situation.
- Body marking or decorations (tattoos/piercings) are used in Religion, occult, and to identify Tribes, as well as Gangs and Drug Cartels. This also includes jewellery, hair styles, head dresses (hats) and clothing (gender appropriateness).
- The immigrant homeless migration behaviors appear as emotionally stressed responses (associated with lower caste behaviors) that are not taught by any social caste system.
The Immigrant Homeless Migration behaviors
The immigrant homeless migration behaviors include:
- Generally the immigrant was from a higher social class or caste than the observed joined group.
- The immigrant experiencing communication problems (interpretation and understanding English) appeared stressed.
- When the immigrant could not interpret or understand, an emotional outburst occurred. Some could have or did become violent.
- Many of the behaviors caused the community and society to place them with drug users, abusers, and addicts, even when the immigrant was not associating with drugs or users, abusers, or addicts.
- Outburst prevented immigrants from participating in normal community behaviors, for example: going to the store, sitting in the local coffee or smoke shops, and eating inside the local restaurants.
- Most of the immigrants migrating were in a community for three to six months.
- The United States of America’s Socioeconomic Social Class System is based on single family dwellings. The immigrants appeared stressed due to isolation from extended family.
- The local businesses, stores, and restaurants repeatedly requested Police and Sheriff assistance to remove the individuals.
Recommendations from TMSC International®’s Longitudinal Research Study: International Social Caste Systems and the United States of America’s Socioeconomic Social Class System 2003-2015 A.D.
The following recommendations are taught through Social Caste Systems and the Socioeconomic Social Class System for caste and social class appropriate behaviors. This longitudinal research study recommends, based on information (data) collected from 2003 to 2015 A.D.:
- Responsible use of Education meaning, IQ, field, major, and race appropriate placement. Heritage, geographic location, and social interaction/relationships with a community or society are major factors in motivation and encouragement of placements. For example, as a result of a history of slavery and Racial imbalance in the United States of America, there is a “Historically Black College or University (HBCU)” system to allow individuals to attend colleges and/or universities free from harassment and intimidation.
- Affective Interpersonal Education. This includes culture, values, economic status (ability to pay), geographic location (regional socialization), social & economic mobility, and educational status.
- Alternative Activities. Consideration of activities includes: family status (marriage, children & extended family care) and Religion.
- Affective Emotional Coping Education. This is to improve responses in: social interaction/relationships with the community or society, family status (marriage, children, & extended family care), ownership (emotional investment), cultural values (what is considered appropriate expression).
- Meeting the Social and Psychology Needs of individual members of social caste systems to fuse into the United States of America’s Socioeconomic Social Class System.
- Improve Poor Life Skills. These life skills are taught skills and should be appropriate to geographic location, lifestyle, family status (marriage, children, or extended family care), educational status, and cultural values. Not all individuals value the United States of America’s hopes, dreams, or goals.
- Continue offering Civil Citizenship Classes for new immigrants that are remaining in the United States of America with classroom strategies focused on “effective fusion” into the United States of America’s Socioeconomic Social Class System.
