Teen violence in the United States has become out of control over the last many years, some examples of this are demonstrated in S.E Hinton’s The Outsiders. Violence, brotherhood, and social standing are some of the main points of the story. It tells the story of an young 14 year-old PonyBoy Curtis. Ponyboy struggles throughout the story with his standing in life. He feels like he doesn’t belong with those he is living around. The environment that he lives in isn’t the best that a young…

Ancient Egypt is somewhere were both men and women are both treated as equals. But yet are still very different in their daily activities and marriage rights. Were as in Ancient Rome, men were more superior than women. Throughout the Ancient World life was hard and everyone played apart, slaves and lower class people all worked hard labour jobs while middle and upper class all had time to participate in leisurely activities and are able to buy slaves to do their work. Comparing the roles of…

I believe that Gladwell wrote the problem with Geniuses Part 1 and 2, to give us an understanding of the different types of geniuses, their environments that they were raised in and how they turn out. A child can have a high IQ, go to an average school, live in a poor to middle class community and not get the nurturing that is needed to become successful. However, a child comes from a wealthy environment they may have the advantages of a good school, and parents who know where they need to go…

M1: Education & Social Class Social class, more times than not, puts us into a group of people who share similar circumstances of wealth and power. Education factors into issues of wealth and power in complicated ways, and our location in a particular social class often shapes our expectations for schooling, its importance, and its potential for getting us to our goals for personal and professional success. Social class creates a divide in the education system and that divide affects the…

When I first read the article, “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work," by Jean Anyon, I was shocked at first, but then I came to the conclusion that this is reality. Everyday people are judged by their class in the economy. Everyday children are treated based on how much their parents income is. Living in a world that is so concerned with how much money one person is worth, is disturbing. Also, when teachers are placed in positions that they do not try to understand or respect their…

I have a question. Are we here in modern time stuck in ways of how society used to be with the social classes and the diversities or have we progressed in the fact that things are getting better with the technology and the standards of living with school and work. Some may say, well yes we are stuck with the differences of social class and thing will not get better because that is just how society is; but then you may find some may say, well yes things are getting better with the fact that…

The definition of obstacle is, “a thing that blocks one’s way or prevents or hinders progress.” The American Dream is a path of life, an idea of hope that has many of these hindrances on its path. Whether someone plans of becoming president, inheriting their parent’s business, or just wants to have a family with a significant other, all are trying to grasp the American Dream. But, all of them have obstacles they must overcome to gain a better future for themselves and loved ones. My definition…

The French revolution ideal was to become independent from the crown, whereas the Haitian revolution ideal was to maintain their freedom from the chains. The French revolution’s main motivation was the abuse of power in the hands of the royal, nobles (400 thousand) and the church (100 thousand). Since each class had one vote the church and the nobles joined votes to overrule votes that could have aided the peasants, merchants, etc. (25 million). When the representatives of the 3rd class joined…

“When I was in college, I remember fearing that the dreary grind of adulthood would feature infinitely more existential dread than frat parties had, but the opposite has been true for me. I 'm much less likely to feel that gnawing fear of aimlessness and nihilism than I used to be and that 's partly because education gave me good job opportunities, but it 's mostly because education gave me perspective and context.” This was the provocative saying and illuminating thought of John Green in his…

I grew up in a small dinky little city in central Minnesota. Throughout my educational career there, I experienced virtually no diversity, and that is why I chose to interview one of my friends who has had a vastly different schooling experience than me. I interviewed Kevin Joswiak. Kevin is a junior, and a sociology, business Econ double major. Kevin is a white cis-gendered male who comes from a middle-class family in Madison, Wisconsin. Kevin started his educational journey at a private…
