The class system while it still exists isn't really as overt as it once was.
The Upper Class are the minority and they pretty much consist of very wealthy people and probably members of the aristocracy - anything a step down from Royalty really.
The Middle Class are probably the largest group but then their fortunes and stations in life vary enormously. Some people say students are middle class but then if you compare their property/status to that of the owner of a large company (who would also be middle class) there is a clear difference.
The Working Class should properly consist of people in menial jobs and other work at the lower end of the job market, also anyone surviving on a very low income Although there has been controversy about whether people who claim unemployment benefit and other government handouts over a long-term period should really be called working class - considering they are not part of the workforce. They could be considered and are by some, to be some kind of Marxist Underclass.

The class system in Britain is more to do with behaviour, for an example there are a lot or very rich people, but they come from poor backgrounds and they have a certain attitude. In Scandinavian countries there tends to be less of a class barrier and so they have a high percentage of educated people. In Britain we have about the highest teenage pregnancy problem in Europe and that reflex lack of education. If we were a classless society we would have less problems with children because more children would have a better start in life. In the past people used to be born into a certain class and they stayed in that class for life, however today since the1944 education act, all children should go to school until 16, as secondary education is free for all, this and many other factors has enable people to be upwardly mobile as they can move out of the class they were born into.

there's a really convinced classification equipment. There are 4 training of human beings: the better classification, the middle classification, the decrease classification, and the out-casts. you're acquainted with all of them because the wealthy, the operating classification, the unfavourable, and the criminals. What makes the classification equipment in united states diverse than caste or classification structures elsewhere, is that anybody from any classification can develop right into a member of yet another classification. classification by ability of delivery-correct exists, and there is a particular animosity from one classification to the others, at circumstances, and snobbery. My mom used to inform me that there replaced into also a fifth classification: The no-classification, and also you'll locate them in any of the different training.

well you have your answer, so i wont go over the class system again, But one thing that no one has picked up on is, how many people think they are middle class, but in actual fact are working class ? there is a lot of snobbery in this country and its mainly built around those who think they are better than what they really are. Where as those who have always had serious money are far from pretentious and are really down to earth people.
