Very clearly, privilege provides benefits to certain individuals.

system in which a country 's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.). Capitalism make it so every single person has a chance to succeed in the world. The Upper class already has an advantage in this situation that america has created.

I love feminism. I am a much braver woman because of feminism. Women and men need feminism, just like we need air. We have so many opportunities and things to be thankful for because of feminism. I have hundreds of reasons why I needed feminism, and how I have become a better person because of it. Due to feminism, I have gained more confidence in a healthy body image, a greater understanding of my sister’s sexual orientation, and a greater moral compass. I would never want to go back to a world…

participants. Those ranging from mild food insecurity to those that are pretty well off, upper middle class. It was interesting to watch the interaction between these various diverse socioeconomic groups. I was very appreciative that I was invited back to help out at this event, as it was very influential in my consideration of food insecurity. I often assume that those that are well off or high middle class and upper class would prefer not to find themselves around and associating with those…

Christian background is what motivated them to take me to that school for their well-rounded, Christ-centered learning and education, focused on arts, academics, and athletics. Most of the students in my school came from poor, middle to upper-middle class backgrounds. In the upper school, class sizes, ranged from as small as 12 students to as many as 21 students. Other than academics, my school involved students in various extracurricular activities. My school did, and I think still does, a good…

Researches show that respiratory pathogens reside in dental plaque (Russell, Boylan, Kaslick, Scannapieco, & Katz, 1999; Scannapieco, Stewart, & Mylotte,…

The Canal district in Worcester, Massachusetts is most accurately described as emerging. Despite its name, Worcester covered the Blackstone Canal in the late eighteen hundreds according to the Preservation Worcester website (Preservation Worcester). The lacking presence of the physical canal provides a decent metaphor for the status of the neighborhood, an area of the city that is lacking in terms of what it wishes it could be. Lynch argues that legibility of a city is vital to their…

My Autobiography "Sociological Imagination" by definition is "The ability to look beyond the individual as the cause for success and failure and see how one's society influences the outcome" (Think Sociology Carl 2011 p.4). In other words, blaming everything whether good or bad on society. I can only agree with this theory partially. Everyday, everyone of us is being influenced by someone or something. Whether it be by television, our friends, and family, our dealings at work and school…

The Serpopards are half serpent and half leopard. They are being controlled by two men. The taming of wild animals has often been viewed as a metaphor for the taming of Upper and Lower Egypt. This strange animal is unique. There are no other known parallels, so it is possible that the artist simply intended to create a circular area in the center for use as a palette for mixing pigments.
