British society is considered to be divided into three main groups of classes — the upper class,

the middle class, and the lower or working class This is known as the class system and it is

important to know something about it, if you mean to understand British people and society

Most British people grow up with a deep knowledge and understanding of the class system

even if they are not very conscious of it As a result, more people know which class they belong

to and are able to tell which class other people come from by the way they speak, the kind of

clothes they wear, their interests and hobbies or even the type of food they eat

Social class is not only about behavior and attitudes For example, although many upper-class

people are rich and may own a lot of land, having a lot of money does not necessarily make a

person one member of the upper class It is also important to come from a particular kind of

family, have friends who are considered suitable, have been a certain type of private school and

speak with the right kind of accent There are people who are poor but they do not think of

themselves as working class because their family background, education, political opinions, etc

are basically different from those of most working- class people Many people do not like the

class system but it is impossible to pretend that these differences do not exist or that British

people do not sometimes form opinions in this way

presenting them well to prospective employers

assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within

their subject area Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or

the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring

for others An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative or

scientific skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful thought

how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future To do this, graduates

can study job vacancies and information in newspapers or they can visit a careers office, write

to possible employers for information or contact friends or relatives who may already be

company and its activities
