Socs Vs Greaser

Decent Essays
Do you think being a Social is a disgrace? I think that being a Greaser is way better than being a Social. First, Greasers have better hair. I would much rather have better hair than nice clothes. Also, the Greasers walk. Walking with your gang is better, because if someone tries to jump you you're safe.

Greasers have good intimidation. Some might say the Socs have very gingerly girls. But I think the way the Greasers dressed in a nonchalantly way. Greasers always dress with a black shirt and jeans I would love that. As you can see, Greasers are better.

    They always have to show aloofness to represent the socs, and they can’t really be themselves around the greasers. They also can’t really do much when they are trying to look cool all the time, so it’s hard to enjoy anything. Since their stereotype is being cooler than the greasers, they always have to act cool, so…

    Most groups have something they can relate with so they can communicate better, for the gang they are all greasers and have to watch out for each other. With this bond that they all share the gang can communicate better, but without Johnny it messes up the balance, or so we thought. With this the group would be able to stay together because even with Johnny, they would do anything to help one another, even if they get hurt themselves. Everyone that fits into the greaser category no matter where, has a strong disliking towards the Socs. If the Socs jumped someone from the group, the gang would retaliate back for each other.…

    Greasers aren’t so bad, although, they do sometimes steal and run away from their troubles. They show honor by saving each other, saving random people, and standing up for one another. Although society might not know it, everyone has honor, rich or poor, but the point is that everyone is still human - they just make mistakes sometimes. To begin, most of them are not related to each other.…

    The Soc's The Outsiders

    In my essay on, “The Outsiders”, I will be arguing that the Soc’s and the greasers are not very different if you compare the two of them. This is important because people are always saying that the Soc’s started something or that the Greaser’s started something but in the end they are just two rival gangs that both do bad things in their own ways. I would say that I would not be classified as a Greaser or a Soc. In my opinion, the Greasers and the Socs are not very different; they both commit crimes, they are both loyal to their friends, and they both start fights. The Greaser’s and the Soc’s are both criminals and they both commit crimes in different ways.…

    Have you ever been at a party or a dance and felt underdressed? Speaking from personal experience this is a horrible feeling, you felt insecure and like everyone is judging you. You can feel similarly when you venture outside of your social class. Many people feel uncomfortable when socializing with an upper class when they themselves are of a lower one. On the other hand others may not care about social class and choose to view the world without social standards.…

    The Chicago Outfit took advantage and control of the corrupt political system in Chicago during the Prohibition Era due to the establishment of the 18th Amendment which illustrated the growing power of mobsters in the roaring 20s. The power of The Chicago Outfit reflected the lack of social harmony and created political controversies that made The Chicago Outfit the definition of Chicago Culture.

    Jocks Stereotypes

    Somewhere along the way we lost our sense that everyone deserves a chance until they prove otherwise. I believe this is why the issue of stereotypes and making every stereotype negative is such a problem in American society today. A jock may be used to having to show out to do their best and advance in their sport, not to make others feel less than them. A band geek may use music as an escape; not as a way to avoid others. A preppy girl may simply like to dress nice; not be a force if negativity to others.…

After this gauntlet is through, there are various…

    However, the two gangs were complete opposites only when it came to their social classes. The Socs were very wealthy and the Greasers were very poor. However, when speaking generally and with the topic of life, they were all were people; they all went through hardships in their lives. They all could watch the sunset from each side of town--no matter what side of town they were in nor what gang they belonged to. The sunsets are what pulled them together; with the sunsets, they…

    A basic human tendency when meeting new people is to automatically assume many things about them just based on their physical appearance. People don’t often consider the fact that a person’s exterior doesn’t have any correlation with their interior. Many people struggle to overcome or ignore this bad habit, for it can lead to the downfall of what might have possibly been a great relationship. In the film, The Outsiders, this concept of judging someone by their appearance, seems to be popular and a very important part of the plot. It can even tie in on the factors on who was cast solely by appearance and physical features.…

    “ (Hinton dig. 4). The Greasers are basically given the bad reputation, that only appears to be shown to society.
