Each class had unique characteristics
50、.In recent years, many writers have begun to speak of the decline of class and classless society in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging study of public opinion found 90 percent of
51、 people still placing themselves in a particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences.

However, the 1995 pop song Common People puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may want to live like common people they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.41.A recent study of public
