cliques can be associated with where they live. That is Williard 307 and also the Senior apartment. It is very obvious because members will either hang out with residents of Williard 307 or the residents in the senior apartments. When I asked one of the member why did they hang out with the residents in Williard 307 and not with residents in senior apartment, he responded that residents of Williard 307 are less formal and more inclusive. While, residents in the senior apartment are more formal and most of them are also members of delta sigma chi’s corollary (Delt Guy).…
Crowds can be defined as large groups of adolescents who shared image and reputation. Through crowds adolescents can show who they are by the type of clothes they wear. They can also advertise what makes them unique and different from other people.

Some people identified themselves with a crowd; however, they do not have any direct contact with members of it.…

In the book By the People by James A. Morone and Rogan Kersh, it goes on to talk about how the voter turnout in the U.S. is lower than a lot of other industrialized countries. We know this because it says that, “The united states has one of the lowest voter turnout rates in the world. Most stable democracies register voter turnout rates in the 65 to 80 percent range, far higher than America's. In one of the top five countries, Australia, voting is compulsory- required by law. In the U.S., while a high percentage of registered voters turn out to vote, a much lower percentage of the voting age population is actually registered to vote.…

S. E. Hilton’s novel and popular film The Outsiders expresses a variety of internal and external conflicts including the main conflict in the novel, which is the division and struggle among social class.

Socs and the Greasers are merely adolescents struggling with personal and social complications that unfold within society.

Individuality is the greatest threat to a utopian society, if one person doesn’t like the way the leader is running the show, then why should you continue to follow their lead? This is the problem I tackled in my final project, as I produced a seminar that was telling students from a fictional institution how to run their utopian societies in a way where they could eliminate or control individuality. Of course their are many different ways to see a utopian society, sometimes it is optimistic, Where To Invade Next (2015) while others are much darker, 1984 (1984). I quickly decided to ignore the optimistic utopian societies, since many times the citizens are the rulers. Instead I focused on the utopian societies that were completely controlling…

The Russian and Iranian Revolutions have very similar causes: an ignorant leader. In Russia, the Tsar was taking Russia into a dead end. His first mistake was to take personal control over the Russian army, which lead to the people blaming the Szar for every defeat that occurred in World War 1 (Class Discussion). Following WW1, the loss of precious resources and the sacrifice of countless lives lead to Russia to be in a state of extreme famine and poverty (Jerry and Ziegler, 1). The crumbling army, food shortages, numerous uprisings, and taking away people’s right of speech and press in the proletariat class lead to a very successful February Revolution in 1917(Jerry and Ziegler, 1).…
A clique is just a group of people spending a lot of time together because they all have something in common. In high school, a person can walk down the halls and through the flood of students and see all kinds of cliques. Each clique has their own drama, their own way of doing things and, their own personality as a group. There are several different types of cliques too such as active cliques, creative cliques, and intelligent cliques. It is usually not very hard to determine what the common factor is in a clique, most of the time just looking at a clique can give it away.…
