There are diffrent aspects of living in the United Kingdom. One of these aspects is the social class system. I want to tell you more about this system. I am refering to the german articel,, Großbritanien. Leben in einer Klassengesallschaft`` written by Deutschlandfunk.

How are the british people ?

First things first: The british people can detect from which a class(upper class, middle class, working class) a person is, just by their style of talking and they recognize this within a few seconds. The british people like to classify people. But the most of the british people think that they can get a higher net woth or a higher worth for the society, if they work hard.

How the british people define the social class of a person

Earlier in the history the social class of people, was just defined by the job of a person. But today it is very different. Today there are diffrent things how the british people define the social class. The job is still important, but if you have a good knowledge about cultural things, you are also a higer class.

How is life today in the social class system of the UK?

Life in the United Kingdom has changed especially the life with the social class system. Today the job is still important, but also important is to have a good knowledge of culatural things.

Yesterday I read an German article about Great Britain and their classification system. The article " Großbritannien. Leben in einer Klassengesellschaft" was published in the Deutschlandfunk on the 17th of February.
Aristocracy
First of all, the British society is divided in several classes like the upper class or middle class. None other country of the world has the classification system like Great Britain has.
Gap between the groups
The Britons believe they live in an aristocracy which means your social status depends on what you have achieved. In addition to that, you can move socially upwards if you just work hard enough. In the earlier times your social class depended on your job which worried and frightened many citizens. So now the Elite and also the upper class are facing the working class and also the precariat where the differences in for example money cannot be bigger than nowadays.
New class snobbery
The differences between each group can be extremely huge. People have different interests which is nothing new but many citizens want to stand out from other people or classes. That means that they presume more noble preferences than others do, so they can be "better" than others.
The Elite and their habitus
But if you are a wealthy person, the habitus of other people from your class or those above can make you feel harsh and also not welcomed.

The class society culture in the United Kingdom, is one of the oldest and strongest systems to disunite and separate people. It gives you the way to define yourself to a special group and it gives you rules how to behave yourself. Luckily nowadays this system doesn't affect the Britons as it did in the past. Today I would present to you the way Germans look on our class society system. For my blog I used the german article "Großbritannien. Leben in einer Klassengesellschaft." (On E. Great Britain .Life in a class society.) from Deutschlandfunk, which was published on the 17th of February in 2022.

The class society pyramid

British class society

The British society lives with the idea of the class identification. Most of the British people identify themselves within the class society. There are three main classes in Britain. These are the Upper-class, the Middle-class and the Working-class. It could also look differently if we use new Distributions for the class society, but these three are the main ones.

People positions in the class society

The class society system goes deeper into culture, behavior and lifestyle of the citizens in the UK. People wich belong to upper classes are usually separated from other classes. They usually live in there small world of private schools, rich meetings, and high class activities (like opera or expensive festivals).

People wich identify themselves as the middle are mostly not in the "middle". Middle class is the biggest group in the class society system so it consists of three levels :upper, middle and low middle class. On each level there could be different behaviors of the people. All in all the middle class consists of a large group of people so it is heavy to indemnify the differences (it depends on the level of the "middle")

Last but not least the working class. It is called working class because of the history where people from hard working jobs where usually poor. People in the working class usually have small earnings, and small amount of cultural interest.

How class society effect the people?

The idea of the class society is to separate people into groups. These groups have their interests and there time spending routine. Nowadays it is different, your past doesn't affect on your class position and on your future. But still, if people know to which class position they belong it will affect their routine. Usually people in higher classes prefer high classes activities (which are preferred by the system) like theaters, galleries and classical music concerts. They study in private schools and try to hang out with the same class as themselves.

People in lower classes prefer activities like watching sports or socializing at home. They usually don't hang with people from other classes and prefer to stay in between their own class groups.

So is the class society system effective?

To answer this question we can look at Germany and other European countries. Most of all don't have such a strong and thigh system. The classes society's come from the past lie Stile of the people, and should remain there. The system changes with the human history. So nowadays luckily class society don't effect your future and is not based on just your past family history.

Life in Britain has changed especially the way the how social class system works and how people live with it. Today your income and job are still important aspects but people are more flexible in between their class position and have possibilities to switch their social class.

Hey guys,

Lately we have been discussing the Great British class survey in politic class. Since we know how the British view it, I am going to explain how the German view on the Great British class survey. Therefore I read an interesting online article, published by "Deutschlandfunk". Are there similiarities ? Or big differences and views about this topic ?
Classification ?
First off the German notice that no other government or society insists on a classification like the British. It all begins with the identification in eachother's social class, and the most common strategy in identifying their place in social society is their use of language.
Meritocracy: What is that ?
Most of the British still believe in meritocracy, means, that as long as they work hard, they get to be moved into positions of success, power, and influence.
Ways to step up the ladder in social society
Furthermore being socially stable does not guarantee a place in a higher social class, says the socialogist Savage. He also points out the suffacoating gap between middle class and working class. Not to mention there are many different ways and strategies to gain a capital or recource, for example, money is not a fundamental element anymore, because to have a good cultural knowledge is a part of it as well.

Upperclasses: A good thing ?
Many surveys showed how important it is for the British is it to have a higher rank in social society, one example is the selling for theatre tickets, they raised about 200%. And this might be a sign to show their upper rank in society. The British uperclasses does not have a really good reputation, since the revolution, everyone is query towards them.

As you can see the German have a different perspective about the Great British class survey.

Thank you all for readinc and see you next time,

Bye

Hello Bexley classmates!

Here is your blog writing loving German exchange student again.

You asked me to write a blog entry about the Germans view on the Great British class survey and social class in the UK.

I found an interesting online article about it and i want to summarize it to you.

The online article "Great Britain. Life in a social class." published by "Deutschlandfunk" is about social class in the UK.

The citizen of Great Britain are obsessed with the concept of classes says a British sociologist in his Study "Social Class in the 21st Century".

The division into classes does not only depend on money, it is also about the social backround of a person.

The actual starting advantage from the upper class is their social capital.

Moreover British can classify people in seconds by hearing people`s pronounciation and their use of certain terms.

The British think that they can move up to higher classes when they make an effort by themselves.

Mike Savage and the BBC found out in "Great British Class Survey" that most of the British say that they are somewhere in the middle class.

They are lying to themselves because in reality they are not in the middle.

Also British think it is easy to move up in higher classes but they are wrong. It is much more work than they think.

In the past the job determined in which class you are and people were afraid if their job was enough for the middle class.

Today the capital is more important to move up in higher classes.

Furthermore cultural knowledge also determines the class. For example theater visits are a sign for a higher class.

People try to stand out from the lower classes inconspicuously.

But those who move up to higher classes do not feel comfortable in the higher classes because the these class is arrogant.

This is what i thought is interesting for you and I hope it informed you a little.

See you next time.

Welcome to my blog entry to everyone,

In my politics class we have been discussing the Great British class survey. So i did my research on how Germans view the social class system in the Uk and came across an interesting online article published by „Deutschlandfunk".

The features of the classes

The class system seems to be very important to British people, they are even able to identify someone to a specific class, just by hearing their pronounciation and their choice of words.

Different views on the system

Most Britains belief there is no social class system anymore, they call it a meritocracy. The people do not identify with a class anymore, they see themselves somewhere in the middle and think they can change classes by working hard. But in reality it does still exist.

The difference between the past and today is the definition of the classes. In the past it was determined by the job. But today the focus is on the different aspects of capital.

A survey was made,here: the results

The classes aren't defined by your job anymore, but more about your cultural knowledge . This shows the result of the BBC survey. During this week the selling of tickets for the theatre increased by 200 %. It shows that Britains think going to the theatre ist a feature of belonging to a higher class. High class members try to stand out of the majority by living their diverse free time activities and interests.

So what do you think about the social class system in the UK, do you think it still exists?

Thank you all for reading

Hello Bexley Grammar School!

For those who don't know, I'm a German exchange student and we've been discussing the Great British Class Survey in our politics class. I know you've been very interested in how the Germans view your social class system and the survey.

Yesterday I've read the German article "Großbritannien. Leben in einer Klassengesellschaft." or translated "Great Britain. Life in a social class system.", the article was published by "Deutschlandfunk".
The classification
There is no other society, where the classification is that important like for the British. They can identify the class of their fellow men, just by the pronounciation or choice of words.
Meritocracy
The british believe in their meritocracy, it means that everyone is able to rise in class, if they work as much and as hard as they can to achieve a higher class, but thats not the truth.
Great British Class Survey
The survey done by BBC and sociologist Mike Savage, showed that the British would mostly say they identify as the middle class. But thats just a lie.
Social classes nowadays:
Nowadays the class system does not really focus on the job anymore, it is more defined by the cultural knowledge, social activities and the different possibilities how you are able to increase your networth.

Moreover there is a huge gap between the elite, which is defined by the wealth and the special and expensive social activities and the precariat, which is defined by their poorness and the high rate of unemployment.
Class-snobbery
The british, above all the higher classes attach great importance to their social and cultural knowledge. They try to seperate from lower classes by doing more special social activities like going to the opera or to the theatre. They try to do it more subliminal.
The elite
The upper class or elite is the hardest to get in and the most seperated group of people. They tend to make people feel uncomfortable with their overall appearance and behavior, even people who rised in class and have the same status like them or the same ammount of money feel uncomfortable around them.

Hey guys, since most of you know that I am from Germany I wanted to present you the german view of certain things in the UK. Yesterday i read a very interesting article by ,,Deutschlandfunk´´ about how Germany sees the British class survey. And since I think that this could also consider some of you, I thought why not bring this topic a little closer to all of you.
The importance of the British class survey
In the UK, the British class survey is a widespread topic. It is very important for most of the people in the UK because it helps them to make social contacts. That is because British people can see very fast in which class the other person is by just talking to them which helps them to find people who have the same hobbies, jobs.... Moreover, social classes can also help people to be different who do not want to be like the rest.

How are the classes determined?
In the past, the social classes were determined by the job you had. A better job and a higher income automatically meant that you are in a higher class. Today itˋs quite different. Now most of the British people think that they live in something which is called ˋˋMeritokratie ˋˋ. This basically means that your class does not depend on your job anymore and that you can achieve everything you want if you work hard enough.
The Elite

The Elite is the smallest class but also the class with the highest income and networth and has also a huge difference to the other classes. Nevertheless, most of the British people and even the german people consider them as very unfriendly and arrogant. Even if they are the class with the highest networth, not many people want to be like them because they do not want to be seen as arrogant or unfriendly.

All in all it can be said that the British class survey is very important for the UK. Many people from other countrys might not understand the importance behind it but it helps many people in the UK to find their own way. It also shows that it does not matter in which class your parents or family members are, you can still achieve way more than that if you just work hard enough.

Thank you all for reading my blog entry. I hope I could bring this topic a little closer to all of you. See you next time!

I have come across an interesting German online article titled "Großbritannien. Leben in einer Klassengesellschaft." published by "Deutschlandfunk". It deals with the social class system where it's most popular...,in the UK. I want to point out some of the information I gathered and share it with you.

According to sociologists, the British can indicate your class within a moment just by listening to you speaking. The higher your class, the more intellectual your choice of words.

What the british people think

A lot of people in the UK claim they are somewhere in the middle class, at least they lie to themselves like that. Because nowadays social classes aren't only based on your job, but also on different forms of capital you own.

The truth is, there are a lot of poorer people and only a small part of the society is the real elite. But the British people believe in meritocracy so according to them you can change classes if you work hard enough.

What indicates your class?

But not only material things like money indicate the class you're a part of, cultural aspects also say something about your position in the social class system. You may seem like an upper class member if you visit the theater quite frequently, or join a museum tour the other week.

A lot of people are trying to distance themselves from the usual or "normal" members of their society, they want to have the most special style and strive for not being like the others in their class, this is called class snobbery.

Conclusion

But is it possible to become a member of another class in the UK? -Yes it is, but the elite lives very separated from the other classes so even people that achieved such a rise often don't fit in in this society.

How is it to live in a social class?

Good day dear readers. I read an interesting online article by Deutschland Funk yesterday. This is about the view of the Germans, how they see the social class. It was a very interesting article and I would like to share it with you.

What are social classes?

Few countries are as obsessed with classes as Britain. The social classes are being calculated not only after the money but also after the job and much more.

Sociologists claim that Brits can classify their counterparts as upper or lower class based on the pronunciation and use of certain terms.

What do the British think of it?

Most Britons believe they live in a meritocracy. They believe that you can earn something through your own effort.

If you ask the Brits which class they belong to, they usually answer with the middle class. For many this is true and for many it is not.

Social classes then and now.

In the past people only looked at your job to see which class you fit into, today we focus on different types of capital and how they lead to it.

A new class society was also invented. In this not only your money is calculated but also your know-how. That became clear when theater ticket sales jumped almost 200 percent in the week the survey was published. Sociologists think the question reminded many that going to the theater is a sign of being in the upper class.

Overall, I would say that class society has advantages and disadvantages.

Those in the lower classes set themselves the goal of getting higher.

A downside is that those in the upper classes are too snobbish.

Thank you readers and I hope you enjoyed it.

Placement in a class society. Life in Great Britain

Fiona Bruns

Yesterday I read a German newspaper article about the class society in Great Britain.

The article ''Großbritannien. Leben in einer Klassengesellschaft" was published on the internet website www.deutschlandfunk.de.
I would like to inform you about the view of the Germans about the social classes and the class survey of Great Britten.

class society in Great Britten

Germans think it is exaggerated how important the class society is to the British. The class society has a high importance for the British. They can tell from the language of others to which class they belong.

Self responsible for the social class

Moreover, the British believe that you can get into a higher class by your own work. You are responsible for which class you belong to

Are the British lying?

However, most British still don't know what class they are in, so they often simply place themselves in the middle class.

But most of them do not tell the truth about their class.

How to be assigned to a class society ?

One sociologist has said that class society still exists. At that time, class was identified by the job.

Today, you look at the money you own, so a new way to determine the class.

Cultural activities tell a lot about the position in a class. The britten can tell which class people belong to by their cultural activities. People who belong to a higher class want to show this through their lifestyle and leisure time.

The elite class is so high that it is not popular for many to belong to it.

In Great Britain, class society is a very important thing. It is recognized by capital, culture and resources who comes from which class.

Thank you for reading my blog an I hope you enjoyed it. I would be glad if you spread and share this post.

A few days ago I read an article from a German news station named "Deutschlandfunk" . The article " Großbritannien: Leben in einer Klassengesellschaft" was published on February 17th 2022.

Like the title said, deals the article with the social class system in the UK. Today the system still exist but in a modified form - means that it have more subclasses than the „three class" system -

Social class system in the UK

The social system is categorized into three main parts: the upper class (the royal family, Duke(s) and Duchess of Kent), the middle class (skilled workers like builders, electricans / owensers of small businesses or normal office workers) and the working class ( factory workers, shop assistants, „the so-called semi-skilled), most unskilled , cleaners , rubbish collectors).

Today there are many more subheadings in the system but it would be too complex to explain the whole system as the Britain's know it from today.
The system today:
Now days defines the occupation the social class but the cultural knowledge also counts to that. So if you ask the British people the would say that they are in the middle of the whole system thing. „Many people lie to themselves with this. Social mobility is underestimated." said the sociologist Mike Savage. In the past, classes were primarily defined by occupations and income. Today social knowledge also plays a part.

If you look at the classes you might see that there are a border between them. The British people think that their social status depends on their careers. So if you hard enough you can get in a better class.

I hope you liked my posting. I'm trying to be so active as I can to keep you all updates you want to this interesting topic ;D
