Based on theories and concepts from the cultural sociology, I present the preliminary results of a work in progress to understand frames and repertoires the Brazilians resort to explain or justify social inequalities in the country. Additionally, I show how the different world views relates to perceived positions of the individuals in the social structure. The analysis is based on 630 interviews that covers the individuals’ narratives on their life course.
