    In spite of decades of diversity policy and practice, America is in many ways more divided than ever when it comes to issues of identity.

In short, we both study and partake in the field of sociology. In “The Cosmopolitan Canopy”, Anderson argues that immigration, laws, and affirmative action have led to a greater diversity in urban cities and metropolitan areas, thus creating settings where individuals can mingle and interact freely with one another in a peaceful manner.…

The two authors, Anna Quindlen and John F. Kennedy used distinct dictions which made what was similar and different stand out.…

    In relation to conformity, Emerson said that it was better to be true to an evil nature than to behave "correctly" because of society's demands or convictions. But is it still right when you kill, or rob, or do crimes just because that is what you want and the fact that the society loathes such deed does not bother you. Yes, we always want what's good.
