In our lecture we were talking about socil class, we then had to get into groups and talk about one specific group we we asked to talk about upper class, we had to create a mood board related to what things they may be into, what thier lifestle is like what people they may be assocaited with, etc. here is a pci of the mood board that we prepared for our upper class people!!
we felt that this type of social class would maybe read the guardian, most likely to have gone to university, have a very nice luxury car, they may have interests in different types of animals such as tigers instead of dogs and cats, we had a picture of perfect teeth on the board the reason being for this was because these types of people have enough money to spend on teeth and they have to maintain looking good as they have a reputation to keep. We felt that they would also have a lovely house with contempory furniture and a big garden. They may even have an interest for horses, they may read gracier mazagine rather than OK!! For me this was a very fun activity to do, it was nice to find out about other peoples class and cultures.
Caroline our lecturer showed us this video which i enjoyed watching!! its a good laugh!!!!
