What similarities do you see between the medieval european and japanese social hierarchies? which social class in either society, would you prefer to be a part of, and why?

A big similarity was that both medieval Europe and Japan employed feudalism; roughly summarized in Europe as: King --> Clergy --> Nobles --> Knights (Vassals) --> Serfs; summarized in Japan as: Emperor --> Shoguns --> Daimyo --> Samurai (Vassals) --> Serfs. Addressing the second portion of yoru question, it's YOUR opinion, so I'll leave it up to you :)

Further Topics for Study: Feudalism, Serfs, Vassals, Medieval Europe, Medieval Japan, the Heian Period, The Sengoku Period, the Dark Ages, Christianity, Animism, and more!

wealthy plebeians became part of the roman nobility. however, despite changes in the laws, the patricians always held a majority of the wealth and power in ancient rome. a third social class in roman society was the slaves. around one third of the people living in rome were slaves.
