Answer: Class consciousness

Explanation:

Class consciousness is the knowledge or awareness of the caste system or social standing usually based on wealth, position, family background and history. In class consciousness, some people believe they are more superior to other people outside their group.

An example of class consciousness is a country club where only wealthy people are allowed to join. In the example above, the manager is hostile as he believes he is above other workers due to his position hence, he exhibits class consciousness.
