Unit Overview

The course British People and Society is divided into two parts. In our first lecture, The British People, we will cover topics regarding the population and the current social, economic and cultural reasons for the shift in the population of the UK, as well as the shift in the way family units are perceived of. In our second lecture, British Society, we will focus more closely on the individuals and talk about the aspects that define day to day life on a much smaller scale. These include one’s class, manners, habits, behaviour and even language.

Learning Outcome:

Upon completion, students will be able to:
