If by "logic" you mean certain formal rules for transforming premises 
into conclusions, then no, each society does not have its own logic. If 
by "logic" you mean the way they construct their premises, the 
authorities, concepts, and notions to which they make appeal, then of 
course each society has its own logic.

Based on the second definition of "logic," I think it clear, by common 
human experience, that each class does have it own logic. At certain 
times, there might be some great overlap and a high degree of social 
cohesion; at other times, less so.
