英國社會的等級劃分,往往綜合以下四個方面:
family background/ wealth/ occupation/education
家庭背景/財富/職業(yè)/教育
那么結(jié)合維基百科等網(wǎng)絡(luò)資源和課堂教學(xué)姆打,和大家分享一下具體階層分類
I标锄、Informal classifications and stereotypes 非正式的等級劃分
1.Underclass--- people who are "chronically unemployed", and in many instances have been for generations.
Typical characteristics are:
?Long-term unemployment, sometimes for generations.
?Living in council housing.

?Regional accents
工人階級--常指體力勞動者或者從事建筑及手工行業(yè)檀何。典型特點(diǎn)是受教育水平不高辞槐,常常是藍(lán)領(lǐng)工作者。煤礦工人全封,建筑工人马昙,鉛工業(yè)工人等等。常常有地域口音刹悴。
3. Middle class-The middle class in Britain often consists of people with tertiary education and may have been educated in either state or private schools.

中產(chǎn)階級--受過高等教育的人群行楞。行業(yè)領(lǐng)域涉及會計,建筑師土匀,律師子房、測量員、社區(qū)服務(wù)恒削、教師池颈、經(jīng)理尾序、專業(yè)IT钓丰,工程師躯砰,醫(yī)生,護(hù)士携丁、公務(wù)員等琢歇。他們大多擁有房產(chǎn),并且對文化和藝術(shù)有一定的追求梦鉴,會將收入的一部分用來買書李茫、看話劇等。

II椭坚、Formal classification 正式分類
先參考以下兩個時代
20世紀(jì)
21世紀(jì)
接下來重點(diǎn)解讀2013年予跌, BBC經(jīng)過對16萬英格蘭當(dāng)?shù)鼐用裾{(diào)查后的結(jié)果
BBC Lab UK study(2013)The BBC Lab UK study
(2013) suggests that class has three dimensions - economic, social and cultural:
?economic capital - income, savings, house value
?social capital - the number and status of people someone knows.
?cultural capital -the extent and nature of cultural interests and activities.
等級分類跨越三個維度——經(jīng)濟(jì),社會和文化
經(jīng)濟(jì)資本——收入善茎,存款券册,房屋價值
社會資本——社交圈的人數(shù)和地位
文化資本——文化興趣與活動的范疇和特性
綜合考慮以上三個維度,請在以下分類中對號入座
以上七個階級在社會中占有比例如下:
下圖為年收入垂涯、工作種類烁焙、教育水平、居住地點(diǎn)和文化背景的統(tǒng)計圖耕赘。
這節(jié)課給我最大的啟示考阱,是英國人對于社交和文化的重視。我想這是我們需要借鑒的地方鞠苟,從小培養(yǎng)我們的孩子在藝術(shù)和生活中尋找快樂乞榨,才不至于在日漸富足的社會形勢下迷失方向,逐漸失去對生活的熱情当娱。興趣愛好的培養(yǎng)吃既,是一個人最大的精神財富。當(dāng)我們學(xué)會了洗盡鉛華之后的享受孤獨(dú)跨细,才會真正收獲快樂與滿足鹦倚。
