The term elite It is used in most communities or societies to designate that sector, minority of course, that observes a status superior to the rest of the members of these companies.
These elites, who are obviously part and very identifiable within any community, will be why will spend a good part of the very important decisions or policies that sometimes must be implement in a country to get out of a crisis or to evolve, for example and as appropriate in each particular case.
Within the same society, it is common for several elites to excel and interact at the same time, Obviously and as long as their interests do not conflict, having to define themselves for a single place.
So we can meet artistic, economic, military, political and scientific elites, among others and obviously each one of these will defend and sustain their own ideas, plans, strategies regarding what occupies them.

membership one of these is usually associated with the ability or availability acquisitive rather than altruistic ideals and proposals, without a doubt, it is impossible think in their absence in any society, because although many do not like these they turn out to be an integral part and extremely important for the development of a country, since in many cases they are decisive when it comes to enabling or preventing changes social.That is, although they have a connotation pejorative for many as I said, that it will be difficult to take them off, not all elites are oriented towards little humanitarian and are more than anything at the service and behind changes that mean positive advances in a nation.
