Print.</ref> Some also argue that, even within the most [[Egalitarianism|egalitarian]] societies in history, some form of ranking based on worth-based and worth-based individual status takes place. Therefore, one may believe the existence of social classes is a natural feature of society.<ref name="ReferenceA">Blackwell, Judith, Murray Smith, and John Sorenson.
