The school system reproduces the organizational system of the capitalist society and expresses the different patterns of socialization that occur within the social class system. Michael Apple views the hidden curriculum through a Neo-Marxist perspective by providing the concept of having both low and high status curriculums of knowledge. (Apple, 1995) The poor and minorities are excluded from high status knowledge. This type of exclusion comes from the ability to filter students into different…

different narrative than Jill Lepore’s biography. When comparing the novel’s, we see that race and class had a significant influence on women’s struggles. It can be argued that race and a person’s freedom were some of the most important legal and social distinctions for women in this century. Overall, a woman’s race, class, and geography are important when determining the fate that they were destined to. When analyzing the North as opposed to the South the biggest contrast between the two…

What Shakespeare does in his comedic play Twelfth Night is that he deconstructs notions of gender and social class; however, he also stresses the futility of going against said social norms especially in Elizabethan society. Throughout the play, clothing is shown as a prime marker for, among other things, identity and social class. Some characters use clothing as a means of climbing up the social ladder; whereas others happen to flip the gender script by using clothing to highlight that gender…

Throughout history the stratification of our social class system has been represented to us in many different ways but the main idea is held constant. Although there are many pieces of content that have been given to those in America, many are still unbeknownst to the extent of the separation that there is between classes.

from being a homeless teen to becoming an NFL first round draft. The film follows the development of Michael as he is taken off the street by the Tuohy’s and with their support became involved with football.

The movie does not only show the development aspect of one stage of adolescence but follows Michael’s character…
