Sophistication
Sophistication is, by earlier definitions, the act of denaturing or simplifying. Sophistication is in direct conflict with nature. Modern definitions include quality of refinement — displaying
good taste,
wisdom and subtlety rather than crudeness,
stupidity and
vulgarity. In the perception of
social class, sophistication can link with concepts such as
status,
privilege and
superiority.
