SOCIETY

Males dominated the scene both in public spaces and privacy, women were due to private places, with a status of subjugation and the care of their children and the home.

Conditions such as laziness were linked to the excesses and poverty with vice.

 

Most beings that populate the earth and specifically London are human. But not all the same. We differentiate:

 

CLASSES

-Noble And Aristocracy: Are people with noble titles, privileges and a fortune in most cases. No need to pay taxes and have much of the land of England. Among the nobles and aristocrats differ:

•     Duke, Marques, Earl, Viscount and Baron

•     Children under nobles who do not inherit titles

•     The Ladies of the upper class.

•     Impoverished nobility who ends up having to work -always who are sons of nobles and have a surname of her list.

 

High -Class: These are people who have a lot of money, but no title. Normally shopkeepers, businessmen or people who have made fortunes in any way. They usually try to enter the nobility through marriages, as they try to "buy a title" marrying impoverished nobles.

Average -Class: The working class, many of them have money, though not resemble a person of high class. They are a large group among which we can distinguish:

•     Lawyers: Medical, Judge, Lawyer, Judge, etc.

•     Artists / musicians senior

•     Actors / Dancers

•     Tenants

•     Masters

•     Preceptors

 

-Lower Class: The poor class. They usually have poor living conditions and often crowded living in small houses full of people. Some worked to survive, while others preferred to seek a less legal or orthodox way. We can have:

•     Maidens / Housekeeper / Cooks / nannies

INFORMATION:
The average life of the time was about 40 years, the death of adults came from tuberculosis, while the children were measles, smallpox and hunger. Workers in the textile industry could also have TB children with dust and moisture, plus asthma or allergies, scoliosis or rickets. A survey by the British Association for 1878 shows that child workers had less than half to 12 inches than their peers in the aristocratic and bourgeois circles.

The industrial revolution monopolized child labor for jobs like mining or textiles, causing accidents and deaths often done work for children under the machines in operation, were also beaten when production began to decline. In England disadvantaged children were in charge of the churches, who sold them to industries through newspaper ads when no longer wanted to keep them or when they had too. The trade was done very often without parental consent.

From four years old were wanted to be "trained" on the machines, working in mines, clean parts of machinery or go after broken threads on the looms.
