Talk about your JIKNAR scale and the Hypodermic Needle model. OR, the uses and gratifications model. Now THAT'S gratifying.

Really?

The social classes are based on occupation, so going by that you can't categorise students. So it would then default to their father, whose occupation is what defines a familiy's class. Though that is faulty in that you could have an upper class mother and a working class father with the family overall working class, even if they are rolling in it.

Any issues with that, take it up with the Registrar General.

Overall however, Britain is a middle class country with most of the population being in the C1 category. Also known as Mondeo Man, they are the ones who generally decide the elections.

Aha, I'm doing media too, all them social groups and Youn & Rubicom and their 4 Cs and all that rubbish.

Foucault. Yes.

Lol actually I am doing a media studies essay and I had to try and define the target audience for a magazine and considering the magazine is Sight And Sound for hard core cinema goers and most cinema goers are students it makes it a whole lot easier if I know what social class they fit into :D

Hell, even my teacher tells us not to revise for it.

You should have been taught it.

Sociology rocks so much.
