Yes "The French Revolution brought many changes among all four social classes" is an excellent thesis. It clearly states what your paper will be about. The only thing i would change is the fact that you need to be more specific, for example state what the four social classes are.

In the reign of Louis XVI, the growing discontent between the bourgeois and the nobility over issues of equality before the courts had grown acute and eventually led to the creation of the Third Estate and the French Revolution.\n\nWhile there was a body of laws in France at the time, the ruling class was able to prevail at will over the lesser classes and taxed almost everything (a man crossing a noble's estate and kicking up dust on the road was liable to pay a tax for the dust, for example). \n\nIn much the same way that John Locke created an idea that fired the American Revolution (that is the idea of a social contract between the governed and the governors), Rousseau argues that the social contract should be society-wide, from person to person.  Ergo, I am responsible to you, you are responsible to me, etc.  this would replace the idea of natural rights and right by birth.

Ok, to summarize:\n\n1) Working Class: fewer jobs in rural areas, more in the cities, urban congestion results in higher rents, poorer standards of living, disease more easily spread.\n2) Middle Class: benefits the most, higher standards of living, greater social respectablility as income increases.\n3) Aristocracy: less control of cultural norms as middle class becomes much more prominent, loss of rural tenants and farmers as working class moves to the cities.\n\nThere is alot more to this, but this is what I remember off the top of my head. Hope it helps.

The revolution in France had happened many years earlier, yet there was great social tension in England during the times of Charles Dickens. Work conditions for the poor were horrid, often resulting in strikes that ended in violent clashes between the police and the workers.\n\nA Tale of Two Cities can be seen as a warning to British society of the mid-nineteenth century. It is largely concerned with events within the Victorian society in which he lived and is set during a period some seventy years earlier. It shows both France and England in an unflattering light. \n\nYou can check out the following site for chapter-wies summary

he few roads that still existed were in a bad state, bridges were scarce, and brigands were common. For this reason during the Dark Ages, which lasted until about 1000 A.D., populations were tightly bound to the land surrounding the feudal lord's castle. People moved about only when there were festivals in other cities. These were the only occasions on which people could buy or look at different goods and have a chance to sell their own food or objects and fabrics made for sale. Fear controlled people’s lives and induced them to ask for protection from powerful warriors who had constructed well-defended castles, or from monasteries, which did not have soldiers but did have thick walls to hide behind. Life was hard, and , people thought little of clothing. Clothes were often made at home and were often rough and shapeless. Trousers, tunics and shawls were used to keep away the cold. The shawls were made of wool or fur and put over the shoulder. Most Europeans were dressed like today’s Benedictine monks, except for men’s trousers. Shoes were leather wrapped around the foot. Colors were plain; they were shades of gray, brown, dark blue and red. Conical hats were commonly worn.\n\nThis was a pyramidal society because the classes of people were in a shape of a pyramid.. with the kings and queens at the top of the pyramid (and were few in number) down to the peasants (who were many in number). In the middle were feudal lords, clerics, and others, such as vassals.\n\nTAILORING\nIn the Middle Ages, for the wealthy, most clothes were created by tailors. Some fabrics tailors used were : Burnet, perse, lincoln scarlet, kersey, russet, chalons, damask, and sandal. (Most of the population, however, made their clothing themselves).\n\nCLOTHING\nOften, kings and queens would wear crowns and brightly colored silks. Obviously, their clothing was very expensive and only they had enough money to afford such beautiful things.\n\nShoemakers and their spouses often wore borealis hats. The clothes they wore with that were woolen coats with fur-trimmed sleeves. Inside the coat was a woolen doublet.\n\nHoly orders, such as friars, wore cloaks with hoods and habits. On their clothes was a rope belt with wooden beads for counting prayers.\n\nFelt hats with stirrups and brown jackets were the daily wear of manor lords. Peasants' daily wear was simple: straw hats that they made themselves, linen shirts that they made themselves, leather flasks, hoses (pants), and pewter badges or good luck charms.

The two main families, Montagues and Capulets, are the leading powers in the area. In the feudal system, in very basic terms, there is a strong class structure in which the leading classes control the land and therefore the lives of all the workers (also known as peasants or serfs). That's a very basic way of describing it, I'm sure any history professor would put it a better way. In the play, their desire to control their offspring (Romeo and Juliet) could be linked to their usual capability to control the people around them.\n\nI wouldn't quote me on this in an essay, I'm just thinking off the top of my head - could be a useful starting point.

The main problem before the reforms of Solon in the early 6th century BC was class strife. There were very small numbers of people who had significantly more wealth than the rest of the city. His reforms intorduced the first democratic elements, but the civil strife didn't really go away and a tyrant took over until the late 500s BC, when Cleisthenes set up their democracy as we know it. The civil strife never really went away, but it was much better once every citizen had an equal share in government.

MEDIEVAL ECONOMICS\n\nThe people of the former Roman province of Britain in the 5th and 6th Centuries had to make their living in difficult circumstances. Around them lay the ruins of imperial grandeur. In the cities, public buildings and private houses were in decay; on the frontiers, the forts were abandoned; in the country, the aristocratic villas were crumbling. This was not just a matter of physical decline or political change because as the Roman state was dismantled, so roads, bridges and ports were neglected, the coinage disappeared, government spending ceased and the elite of the armed forces and civil administration were no longer employing labor or consuming goods on a large scale. Trade dwindled and the former mass-producing industries collapsed. The native British population faced major upheavals in their way of life, including unemployment and a breakdown in law and order. The German immigrants from across the North Sea, who had been attracted by the opulence of the province, had to adapt to a changing society. \n\nWithout trade, easy communications or imperial government, the cities could not provide a living for a large population and almost everyone lived in the countryside. Here again they had no alternative but to adapt to a restricted economy. Apart from problems of security there would be no more large surpluses to be sold in the towns. The villas were taken over by succeeding generations of native British or Anglo-Saxon immigrants who put up buildings of wood. In some cases the territory around the villa persisted as an estate unit and the owners obtained tribute from the local peasants. \n\nThe priority of country-dwellers lay in providing for their own subsistence. In southern and eastern England they lived in timber houses often measuring 15 by 30 feet, associated with smaller structures with sunken floors built for storage, craft work (such as weaving) and accomodations for servants and dependants. \n\nEven in the reduced circumstances of the post-Roman recession, households could not meet all of their consumption requirements from their own resources. They wove their own cloth and no doubt built their own houses and made implements from wood. But they needed iron weapons and farming tools and women wore ornate jewelry manufactured from copper alloy. These could only be supplied by specialists with crfating skills and raw materials so some surpluses from the land were exchanged. \n\nA society with an emphasis on production for use and which had limited facilities for exchange was not likely to be deeply stratified. Elites collected foodstuffs from the peasants in some form but they had limited ways of disposing of goods once they satisfied their followers. While the people of 5th and 6th Century England adapted successfully to their post-imperial world, this was still a traumatic process. The losses of population far outweighed the gains from migration partly as a result of plague epidemics in the 6th Century, but more as uncertainties and the lack of economic opportunity discouraged marriage and child-rearing. We can only make an educated guess at the overall figures but the sparsity of settlements, the abandonment of towns and the retreat of cultivation could point to at least halving the population. Thus numbers fell from a peak of perhaps 5 million in the 2nd Century to less than 2 million by 600 AD.

This is what I found on that subject:\n\nThe Puritans lived in villages that consisted of four city blocks. Within these villages, relatives were placed together.  The Puritan families consisted of husband, wife and children.  The Puritan family was considered the basic unit of society in which the mother and the father had specific tasks.  The husband was in charge of his wife and he had all of the authority within the house.  He was to provide needs of the household, love and protect his family and teach his children about life which revolved around God.  The Puritans family life consisted largely of farming.  Both the men and women contributed to this way of life by planting and weeding from day to day.  Even though the majority of men were ministers, their professional trade also consisted of a variety of other tasks.  The females in the family were weavers, candle makers.  The women also tended to the garden, helped in the fields, and cut wood. In addition, the Puritan women bought metal, books, and cloth from barters for the family necessities.  Since God was the most important part in the Puritans life, prayer was a major part of their daily lives.  The Puritan families meditated and prayed before sleep at night, upon rising in the morning, on Saturdays, and at services.  They also found it necessary to record their spiritual experience in diaries.  Through their diaries, the Puritans lived their daily lives; around God and his plan.

It depends on what class you belonged to and where you lived. There was a rigid class system, though the middle class gained a new prominence. Britain didn't have a welfare system back then, so there were lots of poor people living in slums in major cities like London. The poor often had to go to workhouses, or if they were lucky, they were sometimes employed as household servants. Alcoholism was rampant in the slums. Women were sometimes forced to take up prostitution in order to buy booze and to survive. There was a high infant mortality rate among the poor.\n\nThis is a very loaded question, but I hope I gave some helpful information.
