Upper East Side

Americans all over the nation have become far too accustomed to the big blue corporate stores; know as Wal-Mart, they are incapable of seeing the damage caused by the corporate Wal-Mart, which ultimately impacts all social classes. Thus, many citizens are incapable of surviving without one-stop stores like Wal-Mart. This is a big issue because Wal-Mart is the main good-provider in the U.S. This movie poster effectively utilizes imagery by using pathos to portray Wal-Mart as the middle class…

The purpose of public education should be to give students a free and equal education. While I do believe that public education provides an abundant education for some, I also believe it hinders and holds back others. Public education gives students a free and unequal education. Inner-city students attend public schools where they lack books and engaged teachers. They are expected to learn without the necessary resources. Inner-city students don’t have the funds they need to gain an equal…

so horrid. Bouvier worked in order to bring food to the household but this is no work or responsibility for a child. What is more astonishing is the fact that her own mother made sure that she worked non-stop without rest. Why was this? The was the side effect of such cruel poverty, these people reached a point of hopelessness to go as far as sending their own children for some loaf of bread on the table.

of fear: fear of losing another man to Thea, fear of being in debt to Judge Brack, and above all, a fear of scandal. Through Thea, Ibsen shows us what Hedda’s life could have been like without all of that fear, and without the pressures of being an upper-class women, which is perhaps why Ibsen accentuated the fact that Hedda has never liked Thea -- Thea is Hedda’s reminder of all the things that she can never…

One very obvious difference between lower class women and upper class women was their ability to obtain a better education. Often times in early America a woman’s education depended on the amount of money she or her parents (if they encourage further education) could afford.

The progressives fought against labor strife and towards women’s rights. Because of the poor working conditions suffered by many, the progressives joined with the working class in the fight against the power-hungry leaders of America, fixing many of the problems and standing up for what they believed in. For the most part the majority of the progressive movement was comprised of middle class, white, Protestant women. Since they were Protestant, they believed that it was their duty to not only…
