Class and inequality in the UK. EXAM
In this unit, we are going to work with class differences and inequality in the modern UK. Our main focus will be on how inequality influences the young generation in Britain. We will examine what defines post-Brexit Britain and consider the seven social classes that mark British society. Moreover, we are going to analyse fictional and non-fictional texts that depict the consequences of homelessness among children and young people in Britain.
