Where does the word POSH come from?

Where does the word POSH come from?

Shopcurious.blogspot (2011)

Being an elegant and well dressed is what is called being a posh person. The origin of this word came from this old story, according to Kieran Mcgovern (2012) "The story goes that the more well-to-do passengers on ships travelling between England and India used to have POSH written against their bookings, standing for 'Port Out, Starboard Home' (indicating the more desirable cabins, on the shady side of the ship) ".

Welfare in the UK

Welfare in the UK

 

guardian.co.uk (2013)

 

The welfare is getting some financial assistance from the government or a private organization because of poverty or necessity. According to the Observer “The welfare state is a big part of British family life, with 20.3 million families receiving some kind of benefit (64% of all families)”.
The government tried to help them by reducing the bills in a fair way without attacking people. However, as Mr Duncan Smith sited in BBC "The reality is that successive governments have come in and when they've had a problem they've cut welfare bills and then later on they've ballooned again,".

Over 170 million people speak Bengali language around the world as the BBC website stated (2007). In the UK, Bengali people have some history since the 1970s. In fact, the most significant arrivals of the Bengalis to the UK were between the 1960s and 1970s. Nowadays, they are dispersed through the UK, but there are some main areas such as Coventry, Bradford and some parts of London.

Culture

What is Culture

deborahswallow.com 2009

My Definition: It’s the way that people live since they have borne, each country has it’s own culture. For example, every culture has different style of living, such as having unique archieculture design, it’s own traditional clothes or behaviours.

CARLA's defenetion: "For the purposes of the Intercultural Studies Project, culture is defined as the shared patterns of behaviors and interactions, cognitive constructs, and affective understanding that are learned through a process of socialization. These shared patterns identify the members of a culture group while also distinguishing those of another group."
