I have a project at school were i must give an oral explanation of the topic.
I and 3 others are working on this subject, upper, middle, and the lower classes. My subject is the upper class, however i dont know how to get information about these things, what should i make comments on, etc.
So I wonder if anyone has any good links, or can tell me something wise about the subject ? I would be very glad for good answers, tho, i dont expect many to answer this, because it is a difficult subject, and maybe not the most interesting thing. But answers are apreciated.
I have posted this topic also in the history forum, but due to the questions i have asked, I choose to post this in the Europe forum aswell.
I am Norwegian btw.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_class
is one useful and detailed site for you.
Try putting 'hereditary peerages' into Google
Try
www.royal.gov.uk. You do not get more upper class than the Royal family.
It would also be relevant to look at the British Parliament, which is divided into the House of Commons and the House of Lords.There are people in the House of Lords who are not appointed but are there because they inherited a title ,which may have been given to an ancestor centuries before.There is much resentment that these people can help pass laws.
God luck
I shall get my butler to post something for you.
