A.) Conflict Theory / pg.27: Theoretical framework in which society is viewed as composed of groups that are competing for scarce resources After watching this video I realized that there was a conflict theory going on in these "mega slums". One of the biggest resources that is most competed for is water. Water is so scarce and is distributed unevenly throughout the slums of Dharavi. It 's causing many conflicts. The allocation of water resources is also an issue. More water from the dams is…

From Emeka Ogboh’s soundscape in the African Art Museum to the spectacular Freer Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian museums are wonderful places to explore. So a chance to intern at one is an opportunity that cannot be missed. I have the required skill set and mindset called for being a member of the Smithsonian intern team, and the reward for the time put into the program is worth it. School never bothered me. Starting in elementary school, I received all A’s with a few B+’s in the mix. But once…

immediately implicated, as his or her problems? To what extent are people in an individualistic society prepared to consider the problems of others as their own? This is a crucial question for society since it places the legitimacy of many social institutions and political structures in question.

by the gray gloom of a deepening economic depression. Incumbent President Herbert Hoover, who had been a rising star in a Republican Party that had not lost the White House since 1916, was facing blame for the crisis. The homeless and destitute named the shacks and shanties they had been forced to retreat too “Hoovervilles” and the turned-out empty trouser pockets of men standing in bread lines were dubbed “Hoover Flags.” This was a long way from Hoover’s position in 1929 that he was the…

Life in the United States in the 1920’s was a time where the wealth gap expanded extensively and companies increased in value without physically growing in production. The 1930’s began with a natural recession in the economic cycle, however, due an unfortunate series of events, this recession slid further into a depression.
