By focusing on the justification of laissez-faire capitalism and the assertion of philanthropic responsibilities to wealthy industrialists who profited from their exploitation of an unregulated economy, a certain etiquette was assumed by those who were financially stable.…

Witness Testimony Continued: Influence Police authorities such as Presell have preconceived credibility by their apparent authority and oath to serve and protect the community around them. This gives Pressel the impression that he is telling the truth and even if he is not he must have a good reason not to. Therefore, since the witness testimony was a trained officer of law with over 4 years of experience on duty, I think the testimony was influential on the judge. Similarly, because he trained…

the scene to gain experience on slamdancing and moshing, their ideologies and rules, and how to differentiate the two types of dances. From this, one can be educated on the American alternative scene and take part in “pit” dances with the proper etiquette, if they so choose. I chose to read this article because I’m apart of the scene, “a straight edge”, and even though I may not be depicted as “rebellious” like the article describes and I strongly disagree, I stand for the ideological principles…

To me, social construction is a compilation of societal and cultural expectations and the way these expectations, individuals, and society interact. Like patriarchy, social constructionism functions by the foundation and obedience (or disobedience) of social systems. Individuals and the system work together to form and maintain whatever society considers “normal”. Social construction may be seen in religion – depending upon how a Christian religion interprets the Bible and/or other religious…

Some misconceptions that are part of the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is are appearance of the character of Huck Finn as rough and tumble, nature loving, and typical trouble making young boy. He seems to be rather rough on the edges and insensitive. But as Mark Twain's novel progresses, and more is revealed about Huck's personality, the reader can see that there is more to him then meets the eye. For instance, when Huck is still with the Widow Douglas and Miss Watson, he realized that he…

Mexico is located just to the south of the United States. A very large plateau makes up the center of Mexico. To the East and West, chains of mountains can be found. An estimated 120,286,000 people can be found across roughly 742,000 square miles of land mass. Every person in Mexico could have roughly half a square mile to themselves if it was divided up equally. The countries capital city and largest city is Mexico City. At a glance, it might seem like the place with the highest potential for…

Anything You Can Do, I Can Do… According to Merriam-Webster, feminism is “the belief that women and men should have equal rights and opportunities” (Merriam-Webster). The definition was the same for feminist. The modern-day population see both words completely different; feminism being soft and with grace versus feminist wanting to be just like or better than men.

If one looks at the classes I was required to take: dance, etiquette, music, sewing, basic cooking, home & family, as well as English, foreign language, math, and science, then compare it to what my own children experienced: math, English, foreign language, science, technology, education can be seen to have changed greatly. They were afforded the luxury of taking art, band, or choir as an elective; dance was an extracurricular and etiquette was unheard of. Now I witness the classes my…
