In the 21st centuary and throughout the history of Economy there has always been a growing divide in class in every town and city everywhere. Class seems to effect everything from what school you go to who your friends are and eventually what line of work you will aim for in the future. This divide between people i have seen throughout my life has had a negitive effect on many things to do with society - take chavs for example a group which has been well publisized by the media i even saw a program about so called chavs presented by some dumbfuck which tried to make out as if they were working class heroes- point of the matter is they are human beings just like us who have been brought up differently. I believe class divide is exaggerated by the media and caused and made worse by the government to the point that we turn on each other and blame each other for the goverments mistakes.

Actually I disagree I think the class divide is thinning. I mean, you say throughout history, but think about it; in say, the medieval age, there were huge class divides, between the serfs, peasants, nobles, and kings. Now there is a lot less of a divide than before and people are becoming a lot more accepting of other classes.
