English term or phrase: community groups and classes

Estimada comunidad de proz:
quisiera pedir a ustedes su ayuda con la frase anterior, ya que no puedo saber el significado de la palabra "classes". Se me dijo que buscara algún equivalente que se encontrara en el contexto militar.
Espero su iluminación y respuesta. A continuación presento el contexto en que aparece:

If we use the common definition of patriotism -love of, and loyalty to, one's country- the first question that arises is, what is meant by country? Nation-states, after all,, are not naturally occurring objects. What is the object of our affection and loyalty? In discussions with various community groups and classes since 9/11, I have asked people to explain which aspcts of a nation-state should spark patriotic feelings.

grupos y rangos sociales

Explanation:

community group:
grupo comunitario, grupo social
Babylon

y ...

• class

s. clase, categoría, distinción, elegancia, trapío; promoción, reemplazo; cátedra; estado, estofa, género, linaje, línea, rango, tipo

Creo que dado que tienes que optar por un término aplicable al contexto militar, "rango" podría ser una buena opción.
Suerte!

"grupos y categorías sociales" (o de la comunidad).
El término "categorías" es otra opción respetuosa, en mi opinión, con el original, y también aplicable en el contexto militar.
