This Guardian article explores the power of accents and opens some interesting avenues for investigation e.g. how much influential power certain accents currently hold.
Look at the words Jack uses to describe a change in accent (e.g. down near the bottom of the article, he uses "thickened" versus "weakened", which have different sets of connotations rather than being simple antonyms).
It's really worth reading/watching Pygmalion if you are interested in attitudes to accents - it is also worth practising some, perhaps using a YouTube video to help or going on a short course. Also try transcribing an accent carefully using the IPA. Do other people hear what you hear? Can they reproduce what was said from your transcription?
