1.1Project Topic

The focus of this topic is to analyze the multicultural society of United Kingdom. How by passing years UK is becoming more and more varied and diversified culturally.

According to Tutton (2004), they would often get picked on and would be classed as lower class citizens “scum” as some people would say. I plan to find out within this piece of research whether or not ...
