recent American immigrants who had been lured to
Upper Canada by the promise of cheap land. These

appearance can easily fool the upper class
English. Different levels of society are usually
seperated because of money, appearance and speech,

1,878 words
The fall of the Roman Empire is generally
perceived to have culminated through one single,
though profound, event: the sack of the great city
of Rome. The event itself, where the glory of Rome
and all it represented came crashing down, is
often perceived to be the marking stone for the
end of Antiquity and the beginning of the Middle
Ages. However, the actual fall of the empire
consists of more than just the invasion of Rome by
the Goths, and the causes of this collapse, and
what it represented,...

stratified society is one marked by inequality, by
differences among people that are evaluated by
them as being higher or lower. The simplest form
of inequality is based on the division of
labor-which always appears according to age and
sex. But there is another form of inequality that
always appears in every society-which ranks
families rather than individuals. A family shares
many characteristics among its members that
greatly affect their relationships...
