Have you ever wondered  what the social structure was like in Britain for a few decades back in time?  The social structure I mentioned was of course from not too long ago.  Although the division was the same, their occupation and status  were different from what we have in the 21st century.

 On top of the ranking we have the royalties; the ones who are a member of the royal family.  Then we have peers; those who own large lands and assets. Below them we have the baronet  and then the knights. Lower on the ranking we have; gentlemen, yeoman husbandman and  at last the cottagers. (for more details: [|Wikipedia] ) This was what the ranking was like around  the years of the 1700th.

 Moving forward to the years of the 1800th, the terms working class and middle class became more common. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> During that era, UK's ruler was[| Queen Victoria]. Although over one hundred years had passed by, the working <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> class still had nothing to say when it came to the political process. Nowadays, UK has divided the parliment <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> with the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The House of Lords are represent the upperclass, while the <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> the house of commons represent those from the social classes below the upper class. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Today, it is still the Queen who is on top of the ranking.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> The titles and occupations from many hundred years ago, are not what we are used to nowadays..... <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> but it doesn't mean they don't exist.
