People in the middle of a societal hierarchy. The middle class is the broad
group of people in contemporary society who fall socio-economically
between the working class and upper class.
Upper Class
Upper Class Stereotype:
• Educated
• Very Small amount in Britain
• Inherit
• Wealthy
The social group that has the highest status in society composed
of the wealthiest members
Examples
Downtown Abbey
• The upper class are shown as wealthy because they live in a big house with
lots of material things and the lower class are just working there.
• It is also shown through costume, the lower class are in maid uniforms where
as the upper class are wearing big dresses with jewellery or suits with ties.
• There is also the boss of the lower class
(the house keeper) who is portrayed as more
snobby than the upper class. This goes against
the stereotype.
• Also the dialogue between the upper and
lower class is different. The upper class talk
more posh and pronounce everything properly,
whereas the lower class talk less proper.
Shameless
• Shameless shows the unskilled working class and under class.
• This is because most of the characters live of benefits.
• The characters also look stereotypically as if they are on benefits through
their costumes as they are wearing dirty, cheap looking clothes.
• As well as this, mise en scene shows them as under class because they are all
smoking and drinking beer and this shows them as unclassy.
• The characters in Shameless conform to
hegemony because they the characters all
follow the common stereotypes of unskilled
working class people or under class
people.
Who Has The
Power?
Power
• Power increases the higher your class. The Dominant
characters in TV shows tend to be in the upper class.
Therefore making the working class and under class the
subordinate characters.
