England, Great Britain, Misty Albion ... How many emotions and feelings these names evoke in some people! And this applies not only to the indigenous people of this country. English culture at all times has been interesting to a variety of peoples. Still, in literary works, music and painting reflects that special atmosphere that is inherent only to the United Kingdom. The population of England is a very special people. Endurance, a certain mentality, calmness - these are the main features of the overwhelming number of Englishmen.
Ethnicity and UK Population
80% of the inhabitants of the UK are just British. In addition to them, the population of England also includes Welsh (or, as they are also called, Welsh), Scots and Irish. A small percentage is made up of immigrants from former British colonies, such as Pakistan, Vietnam, and India. However, all those who officially reside in England are called British.
The population of England is impressive. It is approximately 53 million people. In total, about 63 million people live in the United Kingdom. Among them: the Scots - in the region of 5 million, the inhabitants of Wales - 3 million, well, and Northern Ireland - a little more than 1 million.
Now let's talk a little about the "distribution of labor." The population of England is 93% of workers and employees. Various small farms make up 5%, well, and part of the big bourgeoisie is completely insignificant - only 2%.
This country has a very high population density. England (whose population, as already mentioned, is half a billion people) concentrated about 230 people on each square kilometer. There is also a very high level of urbanization (that is, the proportion of cities significantly exceeds the proportion of villages).
The population of England: culture, traditions and mentality
The British, as everyone knows, are known for their stiffness. However, this does not prevent them from creating magnificent works of art, sometimes quite difficult to perceive, but invariably very exciting and deep. Some of the most famous English writers are Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll, William Shakespeare, Philip Pulman, Stephen Fry, Sisters Bronte and many, many others.
It is believed that the British have a keen sense of justice. No wonder it was in England that the first Parliament was established in the world.
Residents of England are trying to strictly abide by all the rules, even unwritten ones. One of these rules, for example, is the tea ritual. Mandatory tea is served in all English families in the afternoon. Tea drinking is accompanied by the implementation of special rules. Before you pour the drink into your cup, you must first offer it to everyone else. In this case, a small sieve must be used: the presence of tea leaves is unacceptable! In addition, the rejection of a cup of tea is a sign of bad taste.
One of the good English traditions is the desire of everyone to receive a quality education. Most of the students in higher educational institutions receive knowledge, and do not go there solely for the sake of obtaining a scientific degree and doing everything somehow. This also manifests national stiffness.
The British are a very interesting people. A huge number of traditions, cultural features and subtleties of mentality make it a very curious subject to study.
