Who lives in Britain?
Britain is a country where people of different
nationalities have been historically mixed. Several thousands years
ago people travelled from many different parts of the world to live
in Europe and Great Britain. In fact every person in Britain has
origins from another country.
The official count in 2001 showed that Britain's population consisted
of the following different races and nationalities. Here are some of
the figures.
Thousands of years ago Britain was invaded by different countries,
races and nationalities including the Romans, the Saxons, the
Normans, the Vikings. And so today many people actually descend from
them.
Even then, invaders brought slaves. In the 3rd century AD Rome used
black soldiers to guard Hadrian's wall. In the
20A
century Britain suffered much during the Second World War and people
from other parts of the world were invited to help rebuild the
country. Many of them were from different countries belonging to the
British Empire. The first ship came from West Indies in 1948. It was
called the Empire Windrush and it had hundreds of people on board.
Later people continued to arrive and stay in Britain.
As a result of these events, Britain has become a country where
different nationalities, cultures and religions are mixed. This
mixture has influenced all spheres of life, including the country's
literature, music, art, fashion and everyday habits and routines.
People who were born in other countries have brought their
traditions, rituals and food with them. For example, Indian and
Chinese takeaways are as popular as traditional British fish and
chips.
An international influence is also clearly seen in popular music
styles. For example, rap and hip hop, types of music extremely
popular among teenagers, originally came from Africa. Even in schools
different origins have to be taken into consideration, particularly
when a school uniform is required.А теперь пожелай мне добра:D
