what explanation I think is the strongest, which one can be complementary and blended with the the strongest explanation, and which one I think the weakest of them is. The strongest explanation for the salem witch trials is that of gender tensions. A good example of this is that there were three hundred and forty two people accused of witchcraft in salem. Of those three hundred…
Forum 1: Gender Gender is socially constructed by social situations that we are put in from birth. As soon as we are born we are classified by our sex or biological characteristics that distinguish a man from a women. From then on we are associated with the stereotypes of boys and girls by wearing a bow or pink blanket. Media feeds these ideas of how boys or girls should act which can also influence the way we interact with our peers. We can also look throughout history to see the different…
“The Open Window” Argument Essay Vera is definitely a character to be disliked considering she rudely takes advantage of Mr. Nuttel’s nerves and lack of knowledge about neighbors to terrify him for her own amusement. In the beginning of the story, Vera greets Mr. Nuttel rudely, telling him “You must try and put up with me,” showing immediate dislike towards the man.

This film is a true result in many ways in which beliefs’, norms, values,…
socioeconomic status household. Low socioeconomic parents’ value education, but do not have the adequate resources to provide for their child’s social and educational needs (Tuckman & Monetti, 2011). Emily, an ASU field student, stated that majority of neighbors work at low paying jobs (E. Teagarden, personal communication, October 30, 2015). Some examples of these low paying jobs are hotels, convenient stores, nannies, and janitorial jobs. Knowing their situation, I believe that there is a…
been repeatedly asked during the last years. It all begun with the Apollo 11, which was the first step in sending mankind into space. Since then, the possibilities to inhabit another planet had been open. NASA has made missions to Mars, our closest neighbor planet, since not so long ago. Even there are plans to make a human colony on its surface. But, will it be possible? There had been probes on its surface, checking conditions, while here on Earth the future “martians” are under strict…
“A pioneer must have imagination and dreams,” says Willa Cather. On a Nebraska prairie, traveling back at least 30 years ago, there were two friends. Alexandra and Carl Linstrum. Alexandra and Carl has a good relationship with each other but there are dramatic differences between the two. Alexandra gives off an aura of independency, including the fact that she is a hard worker, smart, confident, stable, and has roots on the divide. Carl on the other hand, is opposite from…
