Elite Dominance

"I am a head. You are a foot. Know your place. Keep your place."

'Elite Theory' is a sociological paradigm that exists as strongly today as in antiquity. By its most basic definition, the theory proposes that the powerful and the wealthy - the 'elite' - form a ruling minority in society, responsible for all the decision-making within their social structure. In contemporary society, these are generally issues of economic and political direction, but during antiquity this dominance would have had much greater influence – which gods were worshipped, for instance, all the way down to how people spoke and which words were used. The culture of entire tribes, as well as their linguistic development, could be altered by a relative minority. For instance, if a ruling elite used a different language to the 'lesser' majority, it is conceivable that their cultural and linguistic preferences would be imprinted upon the rest of the population, forcing a slow but gradual shift in their societal development.
