find my place not only in a physical location but emotionally. I have overcome some very tough obstacles in my life that I do not always realize that most people never have been through and forget to give myself credit for surviving. I exist in a social class based on an income amount but still feel as if I am less than those in this class. I feel as if I don’t belong in the generation that I was born…

continues to be a classless society” is only partially true; both Great Britain (GB) and the United States of America (USA) are divided by social classes. However, at one point in time, roughly about the late 1900’s, the quote was highly debatable. The United States of America and other countries thought that there was little class differentiation in the USA and the social class system consisted mostly of the middle class. Michael Zweig’s “The Working Class Majority: America’s Best Kept Secret,”…

Many of the works and theories of the social theorists during the 19th and early 20th century are still relevant today even with all the changes that we have gone through as a society. The issues discussed in Weber’s and Marx’s class theories; DuBois’ theories about race and Durkheim 's theories on society and labor are the basis on which many of today’s ideologies are derived. Karl Marx was a class theorist and theorized about class struggles and the ideal class society. He also had…

Democracy as stated by Dewey is how we work within our community, how people come together and make decisions that affect the community as a whole. This requires education. Educated individuals are whom you should want to make the decisions needed to keep the community on the right path, but how do you gain information?…

prosperity, and equality for all. As this country has progressed through the ages, it has become clear that this dream has become increasingly unobtainable by fault of the education system which inevitably becomes the foundation of other various social inequalities.
