Social Class in Britain

British society is ***nsider*** *** be di***d*** ****** three ma*** groups of classes - the Upper Class, the Middle Class, and the Lower *** W***k***g Class. This is known as the Class system and it is imp***tant *** know so***th***g about it if you want *** understand British people and society. Most British people grow up with a deep knowl***ge and understand***g of the class system even if they are not very ***nscious(知觉到) of it. Most people know wh***h class they belong *** by the way they speak, their clothes, their ***terests *** even the type of food they eat.

Social class is not o***y about beh**i*** and attitudes, F*** example, a***hough many upper class people are r***h and may own a lot of land, h*****g a lot of mo***y does not make a person upper class. It is also imp***tant *** ****** from a part***ular k***d of family, h**e friends who are ***nsider*** suitable, h**e been *** a certa*** type of private school and speak with the right k***d of a***ent. There are people who are po*** but who do not th***k of themselves as w***k***g class bec***se their family background, ***ucation, po***t***al op***ions, etc. are different *** those of most w***k***g-class people. Many people do not ***ke the class system but it is impossible *** pretend that these differences do not exist *** that British people do not so***ti***s f***m op***ions *** this way.
