I will discus about social class system this time. There is still social class system in the UK. It is possible to divide into mainly three classes:
- Upper Class
- Middle Class
- Lower Class
Moreover British people classify it more in detail sometimes.
- Upper Class
- Upper Middle Class
- Middle Class
- Lower Class
- Working Middle Class (skilled)
- Working Class (Unskilled)
- Under Class
We can see problem of the class system in some British movie. For example “Pride and Prejudice”, and “Miss. Potter”.
How do they classify people? They have basic categories. It is judged to which class the person belongs from his/her occupation, job, education, sports,Newspaper and so on. Classes divide considerably clearly, and the movement between the classes is rare. The social exchanges with other class have been very limited.

I want to focus on upper class and lower class. Because I am interested in these class, and I want to know the difference of upper class between lower class.
Upper Class
Upper Class people are very rich. People who belong to upper class are royal family, aristocrat, politician, president, lawyer, officer, doctor, dentist etc.

They have good jobs and get enough salary, so they can use a lot of money to enjoy their life. They live in big house, they have a expensive car, they eat gorgeous dinner. And their children go to private school and receive good education, and after graduate they can get good job like their parents. It is still considered difficult for middle and lower class people to entry to the upper class.. Marriage into upper-class families rarely results in complete integration.
Lower Class
Lower Class
Lower class people work hard and their social positions are low. Skilled people in lower class work as electrician, engineer, plumber, carpenter, etc.
There are fewer jobs for unskilled people in the UK than before. Only about two- thirds of men without qualifications have jobs. Some of the unskilled jobs available are working in restaurants, in supermarkets filling shelves or as a checkout operator, or cleaning. Additionally, there are people who work as helper or labourer, too. Usually their work is very hard.If there is any unskilled work, it is offered to women because, despite laws for equal pay, women are still paid less than men. Even job seekers with qualifications sometimes find it difficult to find permanent, full-time work.
