X and we are known as a sex crazed and drug-happy
one, (that is what the generation ahead of us
said. ) I believe if that there ever was a
generation as such it was the baby boomers; ever
hear of Woodstock? They want to stereotype us and
ignore to what we have to say. For some reason
when we do what they did as teenagers we are bad
but when they did it, it was experimenting. The
problem I see with my generation is that no one

Party to power and with it an interpretation of

members of Congress, each had different plans of
how Reconstruction should be handled. Each plan
was similar and different to each other. But most
of all, there were many concerns for how each

Lower Class Upper Class

In Some Principles of Stratification, Davis and
More define the functional theory of
stratification as the notion that societies need
inequality in order to fill the important
occupations wanted by society. The best people
need motivation to take the most important jobs,
and that motivation comes in the form of rewards,
usually a higher income. However, this theory does
not explain why inequality in the United States
has been on the rise. In William Wilsons The Truly
Disadvantaged, Frank Levy ex...
