- Economy
England
was once a class-ridden society. Today, multiculturalism and a changing economy
are gradually eroding the British class system, but some features of the system
still remain.
- Social order
The
British society has often been considered to be divided into three main groups
of classes: Upper Class: people with
inherited wealth. Includes some of the oldest families, with many of them being
titled aristocrats; Middle Class: It´s the
majority of the population of Britain. They include industrialists,
professionals, business people and shop owners; and Lower or Working Class:
People who are agricultural, mine and factory workers.
- Daily activities of the people
Pubs: The word pub is short for public house. There are
over 60,000 pubs in the UK, especially in England there are 53,000 pubs. Pubs
are an important part of British life. People talk, eat, drink, meet their
friends and relax there. Pubs often have two bars, one usually quieter than the
other, many have a garden where people can sit in the summer. Children can go
in pub gardens with their parents.
Shops:It is the number one
leisure activity and accounts for around 37% of all money spent in England. The
main shopping street has small shops are owned by local people. Most are owned by
national 'chains' of stores. This makes many town centers look the same. Some
towns also have street markets where fresh food and cheap goods can be bought.
Away from the town centre, small corner shops provide groceries to local
customers.
