Lesson exploring the increase in living standards under the Conservatives, with a focus on consumerism and affluence.
The starter explores what it means to be affluent using two case studies, leading to an exploration of a source showing the changes in the lives of people in the 1950s. Three videos (adverts) explore the changes in consumerism and disposable income, leading to a discussion on the causes of affluence. Students then use the handout to explore how and why people felt better off and defining consumerism. This leads to a spider diagram on the impact of affluence. The plenary asks students to consider if this new affluence was widespread assessing the position of the working, middle and upper classes.
