Middle Class Women Lower Class Women
784 words
The Bostonian's by Henry James was a very
interesting piece. James' underlying tone for the
spiritualism and mesmerism is clearly a picture of
the time when the piece was written. I thought
that is played an important influence in his
writing. Ruth Hall by Fanny Fern is an unofficial
biography of her own life as a women activist. One
of the underlying issues that stands out from her
novel is the way that she includes the lower-class
women right along with the middle-class. This was
not a common ...

the beginning of man. From the Greeks to the
present day, the influence of great athletes has
been tremendous. However, today's media has
enhanced sports and the people who play them
traumatically. Athletes are seen all over the
place, we see them in commercials, on television
shows, we read about them in magazines, and we
watch them on national television all of the time.

Simmel Marx And Mead
864 words
After reading the specified passage # 8, pages 101
- 108, I sat back and thought about who and what
we have studied this semester. The information in
the passage connected with three of the five major
sociological minds that we have studied: Simmel,
Marx, and Mead. The beginning of the passage talks
about immigrants starting a new life in a new
place, and what we a Americans think about it,
which reminds me of Georg Simmel. A lot of the
passage talks about how class and jobs relate to
one anothe...

Raisin In The Sun Unborn Child

The play has a very strong view on Feminism in the
1960 's. The three characters which are women;
Mama, Ruth and Benetha show an influence over
themen of the family. They are the main supporters
of the family, because Walter is too lazy to do
anything or care about his family, since all that
is important to him is money. Mama is by far the
dominant female in the family, since she directly
gave Benetha orders to say "there is still a god
in my mothers house" and Benetha obeyed her, so
that makes ...
