The Universal Time Lapse Capsule

The Victorian Era was a time of peace and prosperity. During the Victorian Era the society was divided into various social classes like the working class, middle class. Upper class, Dickens/Victorians. Above all those classes the middle class was the most hard working class with all the various occupations but also they also had quite relaxing life also speaking of which let's get into the middle class.

The Elizabethan Era is noted as the golden age reigned by the Tudors more specifically, Queen Elizabeth I. Queen Elizabeth was the only person who historians are sure is at the top of the social hierarchy but there are different variations of the next upper, middle and lower classes. The basic outline of the social structure in the 15th and 16th century was the monarch, the nobility, gentry, merchants, yeomanry, and laborers. For each of these classes, there were very specific rules for what they were allowed to do and who they were allowed to treat as a lesser. Though the rules were very strict it seems that some of the common people had discourteous feeling towards the Queen, there were also cases where the

The the lower class in this situation are the people who live in the Valley of Ashes. They represent the hardworking people that either lost their jobs or got paid low wages. Being hopeful that one day they can reach the level of success that many people have during the 1920s is a understatement. This is because during that time people had this false hope that things would get better with time, but in reality once you dug your hole it was a lot harder to dig yourself out. Not saying at this time it couldn't be done, but the reality of it

A good example of the way social class is viewed is in the story “Lakota Woman”, by Mary Crow Dog. Social class was still relevant for the Native Americans, even in the 70’s. While it is already tough for Native Americans, Mary’s situation is slightly tougher. “It is being an iyeska, a half-blood, being looked down upon by whites and full-bloods alike.” (5) Both parties were viewing each other as being lower class, which made it harder for Mary to find her ranking. “I have white blood in me. Often I have wished to be able to purge it out of me.” (9)

It can also be determined on what you do for a living. The class system in the Elizabethan era was made up of the upper, middle, and lower classes. In each of the three classes there are smaller groups. In the higher class there were the nobility and the monarchy.

Social Classes During The Napoleonic Wars Life in Britain during the Napoleonic Wars was quite interesting. Unlike today, the people of Britain lived in three social classes: the upper class, the middle class, and the lower class. The upper class consisted of the aristocrats and those involved in politics. The middle class included the business men such as the butcher, blacksmith, baker, and other men of trade. The majority of the population of Great Britain consist of the middle class.

Upper middle, middle and lower, these are the modern day classes Americans are familiar with. But what many don’t know is between 1558-1603, the Elizabethan Era, the same social class system was already being used. The only difference was that they were more in depth. Although the social class system is still in place today during the Elizabethan era it was used to place people in categories based on their financial state, family history, and beliefs.

Each individual begins a travel through their life as a member of a class. There are differences in class not only between countries but also within countries we have upper class, middle class and lower class and the non-working class. The upper class usually refers to the higher status members of upper class, most are well educated professionals with graduate degrees and comfortable income. Children of

According to Lloyd Warner’s classifying method, the social class that I most likely belong to is the upper middle class. I believe this because Warner’s method classifies one’s social class according to where he or she works and how respectful their job is. My dad is the owner of his own company and he has multiple businesses under his name. I also believe my family belongs in the upper middle class because my dresses professional when he goes to work. His dress code consists of slacks and a tucked in button down usually. Although my dad is not referred to as a professional, he is a successful business owner.

I think Mr. Feeney’s social class is the working class for various reasons. The paragraph says he attended Cornell University, which is one of the top ranked universities in the United States, but it does not necessarily indicate that he is wealthy to be able to attend that school it could have been paid off by him joining the Army. He then majored in Hotel Administration, which he could have had difficulty finding work in that particular area during that period of time. Therefore, he worked in retail sales at the airport, stocking shelves and waiting on customers, this indicates that his job is a blue- collar occupation that involves working with your hands. He claims to enjoy participating in free activities and has a frugal lifestyle hence,

According to Max Weber, social class is a person’s economic position in a society whereas status refers to one’s prestige, popularity and influence and oftentimes, is not determined by economic worth. For example, a priest may be regarded highly in society however may not be in the same economic bracket as a doctor or lawyer. The film, My Fair Lady tells a story about a man, Professor Henry Higgins and his efforts to transform a lower-class woman Eliza Doolittle into a well brought up “lady”, advising her to change previous behaviors and image. Henry Higgins, a distinguished language professor of high class challenges his good friend Colonel Pickering that he cannot fool society into thinking Eliza as a duchess.

The time capsule that I will create must be made out of red quartzite, similar to that of Tutankhamen’s sarcophagus, this material would be great because it can withstand heat and it would take time for erosion to show. Because erosion can become a problem if water is present in the area, my time capsule would be located inside a cave. This cave would have to be present in the Valley of the Kings. The quartzite box would be place in a cave where water would be very hard to get into since flash flooding is a big problem in the dessert valley. Because there is only one possible element to the box, the chances of remaining intact and withstanding the test of time would definitely be successful. It really wouldn’t matter when it would be found because I think if its meant to be found, its destiny, if not well it wasn’t meant to be. A set period would be around 100 years or perhaps later because this cave could have already been searched through and after somebody already searched, it could be a hit-or-miss for somebody else to go in that same cave.

Life can at times seem bad, even in the lives of some of the most prestigious, rich, popular people in the world. Bad hair, lack of sleep, abundance of homework, and an absence of money have the tendency to put a damper on some people's days, among other things. Too many times, though, in today's society things are taken for granted. Imagine not having a place to sleep, having no means of education, or having all hard-earned funds taken by the government, not even leaving enough to feed the family. This is how it was for Englanders in the 1800s. The condition of the working-class in 19thcentury England was, without a doubt, disgusting and miserable. The circumstances were spiraling out of control and the working class was

A first point of order that should be mentioned is that in the Victorian Era, social status meant everything. Aristocrats are expected to be earnest, to show sincere and intense conviction. That was the way of life. The social hierarchy was rigid and little importance was placed on trivial things such as personality, and more on social

The ones who seem to be most affected by society’s beliefs about class and social order are Pip, his family, and his friends, who would definitely fall under the “lower” part of the socio-economic ladder. Throughout the novel, the “lower” characters have a heightened and even a bit unhealthy obsession with
