-Although openings for social mobility became prevalent, social issues remained. Pretentious attitudes adopted by the Nobles and Royalty refused to accept the middle upper classes, smattering them with derogatory terms and disregarding their presence. ]]> 2018-12-03 18:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sammykoplos/asr661cwo9d6/wish/310571055 What is Nouveau Riche? sammykoplos https://padlet.com/sammykoplos/asr661cwo9d6/wish/310574867 - Nouveau Rich is a term that refers to the first generation wealthy people within a society (New Money)
- Nouveau Riche became one of the most prevalent derogatory terms used to dismiss those who had moved up in social status.

- The dichotomy between the Vieux Riche and The Nouveau Riche solidified the social divide despite new establishments of social mobility. ]]> 2018-12-03 18:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sammykoplos/asr661cwo9d6/wish/310574867 Works Cited sammykoplos https://padlet.com/sammykoplos/asr661cwo9d6/wish/310575401 “The Middle Classes: Etiquette and Upward Mobility.” The British Library, The British Library, 13 Feb. 2014, www.bl.uk/romantics-and-victorians/articles/the-middle-classes-etiquette-and-upward-mobility.
