Class System

We can say Class System is very common in Britain culture and history. It used to be more important element of British life before. Everything what they did was related in class, so people always had to concern about their own culture. It still exists today. We can mainly divide three kinds of classes, which are upper class, middle class and working class. There are many differences in the class, such as greeting, way of speaking English. Fortunately, women can change their class by marriage. These are the differences between the classes below. I'm going to focus on two classes, Upper Class and Working Class. It is interesting to see how those two classes are different. It is like heaven and hell.

Upper Class
People who have a lot of money and power usually can be the upper class. Their coherence is also related the upper class. These people are very wealthy, and they normally become a politician, lawyer, military, doctor, judiciary and boss of a company. These people drink wine, listen to Bach and watch BBC2. These are not allowed to do in the working class people. Because many of them have coherence, there are many people who support Conservative Party.


Working Class
This class can be divided upper working class and lower working class. People who are in the upper working class usually have skill. That's why they can work as an electrician, engineers and a carpenter. Unskilled people in the lower working class become a cleaner or help labors. They don't drink wine, but beer or gin. They watch CH5, and support Labor Party.
