There are several ways that societies can be divided and classified. One is through ethnicity, as Botswana society comprises many ethnic groups like the Batawana, Bangwato, and Bakgatla. Each ethnic group has unique cultural practices that distinguish it. Societies can also be divided according to class, with an upper/high class of wealthy individuals, a middle class of middle-income earners, and a lower/poor class. Additionally, societies are divided according to people's professions and the roles or statuses they hold within the community.
