Social Class


According to www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk, there are three different types of social classes in the UK:
The British Social Class System
The British society has often been considered to be divided into three main groups of classes:
  • the Upper Class
    Often people with inherited wealth. Includes some of the oldest families, with many of them being titled aristocrats.
  • the Middle Class
    The majority of the population of Britain. They include industrialists, professionals, business people and shop owners.
  • Lower or Working Class
    People who are agricultural, mine and factory workers.


The girls in video have their own different life styles, the working class girl just do some basic aspects to support her to live. But the urban class girl has more chances to live in different types of life styles such as attend some parties, do some extra activities. Different types of social classes have their own specialties. For example, the working classes have a clear aim to finish, they need to earn the money and manage their life carefully, they always have no many requirements for their life, and just happy day by day are they looking forward to. The urban class has their own specialty as well, most of them always regard their identities in the society, and they have many aspects need to consider as well.

  1. This is a bit too simplistic. Read the handout that I gave out in class and you will see that people have several different criteria for defining themselves.

    Are you referring to the video that we watched in class? If so, you need to make this clear and reference it.
