Non native speaker is asking: Social climbing is used as negative and accusatory but Social mobility is good. What’s the difference ?
In: Other
Social climbing is usually used by elitists to describe those trying to be like them or emulate them. For instance, if a person of the deemed “lower class” were doing things to try to gain the good will of the “elite class”, they would be considered a social climber-trying to climb into the elite class. Keep in mind that the “elite” class would want to keep those of a “lower class” out of their social circles. Social mobility is the idea that people, using their own skills, can move above the level of the previous generation.
