Abstract
This paper tries to investigate
the paradigm theories of lifestyle. Most researchers in the last two centuries
argue that the concept of the lifestyle has replaced the concept of the social
class; their evidence is that the ability of the vertical class to analyze
behavior, values and perspective is less than lifestyle of individuals. That
doesn’t mean that classes are erased, but it makes question the ability of
analysis in this concept, and their proof of that is the existence of some
links between the individuals and their difference social status, we can no
longer have a true picture of our social reality through the social class. In
such a circumstance, the concept of lifestyle is structure, because unlike the
class concept it doesn’t define the logic and the concept of lifestyle. Rather,
this concept shows some activities, gains (income) which interact with each
other and enable the social researcher to manifest its forms. The concept of
lifestyle is not a substitute for the concept of class, but it pares the way
for social sciences to conduct research on the experiences of daily life and how
individuals consume and invest, and that identity derived from the experience
as well as conducting research on the characteristics of the individual and
group. Through this concept, social researches are able to observe the creative
role of characters better than before and avoid the use of concept of social
status and class, which has scattered meanings.
