Snobbism...
 During the Victorian era,
★The circumstances
The nineteenth century U.K was the hierarchical society. U.K has extremely the social-natural feature which was the class-rise oriented. Snobbism affected to that period.

What is Snobbism?
Snobbism was similar notion of vanity belief. Snobbism is same meaning with snobbery, Phillstinism.People wanted to be in higher class, The industrial revolution or colony politics increased the economy ability of middle classes, they were just middle classes to all ages, they were not treated as the gentleman, upper class.

How did the middle class try....
Generally, Middle classes treated industry as their virtue, For joining the line of higher class, they imitated the upper class's economy strength. They kept buying the land for being transferred. Some other parents sent their childrens go to public school for socializing with upper class's childrens. Through the marriage, they were absorbed to get peerage title, connections with upper class.

Why is the Snobissm related to 19th century UK?
During the Victorian era, Victorian era has reputation of class society. And, Snobbism was the one of the social natural virtue which was all about the classes. And, after the industrial revolution, Snobbism was the main boom. After the industrial revolution, as i noticed from my artifact about the industrial revolution, The gulf between rich and poor got serious problem. so, society characterized the classes. Come to think of it, The mammonism happened. That's why middle classes people snobbism.

 Do you know the character Jenny on Gossip girl?
Well, What i think is she is the representative for snobbism.
Why? Her parents are not that rich compared to the other students in her private school.
However, she decorated herself as if she is the upper class. Acturally she was not.

I think the character of Jenny could be good examples of Snobbism. Can it make you understand little more?
