10 points and BRAINLIST! Describe the conditions of the English working class during the nineteenth century. What were the social norms of the Victorian Era?
The English working class began to decrease dramatically in the nineteenth century as the gap between the rich and poor expanded. This created a larger poor population, labor force was much needed. Social norms of the Victorian Era included a massive patriarchal system, public degradation (including beatings and such), and discrimination and tension between the social classes.
The Victorian Era was characterized by an extended period of peace and strict codes of social conduct. It took place mainly during the reign of Queen Victoria from about 1837-1901.
