Thursday was really hard to wake up for because the day before was so jam packed we were all really tired but we had a morning lecture at ULU about British media and the effect is has on British society. We talked about how in London specifically there are really only two major classes; upper and lower class. We talked about how British society was like an English sandwich, two pieces of bread with a little meat in the middle. The upper and lower classes were the two pieces of bread and the meat was the middle class; there is not a very huge middle class and it has never dominated British society. We then compared this English sandwich to the American super colossal sandwich in which the upper and lower class were the top and bottom bun and that the meat was the biggest part and the middle class America. It is the main goal of the media to hit the middle class straight on and really give them what they want to know.

Our lecturer went on the talk about how England has a lot of people that read the daily paper and that because of its size it is easy to distribute papers. With the States, there are different time zones and it is such a vast and wide country it is harder to get news from one side of the U.S to the other side. It was a good lecture but it was a topic that it mostly self explanatory. People need the news and the news needs its audience.

After the lecture we had the rest of the day to visit the Queens Royal home Windsor Castle. It was a gorgeous place and would have no complaints if I lived there. We were able to walk all over the grounds and we saw the queens view of her land and her gardens but we were able to go inside certain parts and see her majesty's doll house and doll collection as well as the different parlors with the royal armor and portraits of all the royalty that has lived at Windsor of the years. It was hard to not touch anything because it was all so shiny and beautiful inside; the detailing of the walls and ceilings were immaculate. For a little bit I felt a little royal and would move in in a heart beat if asked : )
