The existence of classes in the society has a long history dating back to the 19th century in the Western Europe after the industrial revolution (Abrutyn, 2013). As such, because of the industrial revolution, classes emerged. In this regard, the classes that emerged comprised of those of the rich and those people who worked for them. However, since then different forms of stratification emerged in the society. Examples of such stratifications or classes are the ones based on gender, race, age, and religion (Bartos & Wehr, 2002). Consequently, various arguments exist concerning these new forms of stratification with some people viewing ...

Abstract

Rising rates of recidivism in the United States have developed concerns pertaining to the effectiveness of prisons as correctional facilities. In this study, the focus is to assess the suitability of faith-based correctional methods in promoting inmates reentry into the society.

Several studies have indicated significant declines in recidivism rates among inmates who participated in these initiates. For example, Duwe & Johnson (2013) found that inmates who engaged in Inner change programs in Minnesota were less likely to be arrested by at least 8% compared to their counterparts ...

Philosophy

The Divine Command Theory purports that a particular act becomes either moral or not (immoral) on no other basis other than God has commanded that it be done or forbids us from doing that particular act. According to this theory, an action is only made wrong by the fact that God Himself prohibits it’s doing. As seen in the definition, whatever it is that God commands automatically becomes the basic standard of morality, and there exist no other moral values other than what God prescribes for man.
The belief that there is no limit whatsoever as to what ...

This poem is told through a narrator speaking directly to an audience. He warns of living in the present and not to suffer the past or worry about the future, “If all time is eternally” present. To worry about what one has already done in the past, “Down the passage which we did not takeTowards the door we never opened will not help to live well in the present.” (Eliot) To spend one’s time think and planning for the future is also a waste, “Here is a place of disaffection Time before and time after”.

Donato shows that men makes crude jokes about the women in their lives, and Petry shows the lecherous Jones’ advance on Lutie.

Having reviewed the two articles; Big Boy Leaves Home by Richard Wrights and A Party Down at the Square by Ralph Ellison, it is evident that members of the black community went through a lot of difficulties during the early American times.

Usually, whenever a property is purchased or acquired from a willing or non-willing seller, it is expected that a fair compensation is given to those whose interests are deprived. However, it may be difficult to determine what a fair compensation constitutes. In some cases claimants may receive more or less compensation compared to the value of their property. In other instances, the monetary sum provided may be a huge sum, but it may not cover non-quantifiable losses such as psychological and social implications. As experience has shown, there are ...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that is related to serious traumatic events and is characterized by such symptoms as survivor guilt, reliving the trauma in dreams, numbness, and absence of involvement with reality, or recurrent thoughts and images.

Self identity stems from the notion of emancipating the calls of the real person is portrayed. A healthy self-identity, in my own perspective, calls for identifying the issues that affect a person. It relates to how one can be sincere and honest with himself in line with the abilities that he possesses. It also touches on the identification of the weaknesses that one may have, and working on them to be a better person. A healthy self identity gives one room to initiate discipline and belief in his endeavors, hence ensuring that one does not fall behind the peer cocoon.

Robert Smithson examines the protocols of the standard modern aesthetics. His arguments point to the development of a limitlessness approach into art inspection, whereby art may exist in the mind of the observer in an abstract fashion. He sees the natural world as the foundation on which the ideological characters of people’s concepts emerge. Smithson indicates that boundaries and protocols do not exist for all artists in the same way. The mind of the artists is as vast and abstract as the earth’s surface. In earth projects, both real and fictional elements interact and trade places. According to ...

Did the Welfare System Cause the Dissolution of the Black Family?

Introduction

In 1965 when the civil rights movements was experiencing an explosion, Daniel Patrick Moynihan penned a report to President Johnson claiming that one of the major reasons for poverty amongst black Americans was the fact that a quarter of black families were being headed by women.

Humans since they began forming societies have concerned themselves with the thought and question of how we can perfect society into making it an ideal state. The word Utopia’s etymological roots go back to 1516 when Sir Thomas More used it in his book Utopia, which was a fictional work displaying an ideal society. George Orwell’s novel, Animals Farm, is a work that has a plot of animals attempting to develop a ideal society, but the work as a whole is dystopian, meaning it is making a case for the impossibility of an ideal or perfected society, since often time these societies forget ...

The female characters are all examples of how women change throughout these stories while the men are the dominant hurdle that these women want to ...

In addition to the fact that Tiebout's assumptions are unrealistic, as mentioned before, even with these assumptions he did not provide a mathematical proof of the equilibrium in his article. Some scholars tried to formalize the model and suggest that the model does not work as we would expect from a pareto optimal general equilibrium model. Bewley (1981) showed that Tiebout equilibrium does not have a Pareto optimal solution unless we add some other restrictive assumptions to the model. He provided a series of examples which highlights the inefficiency of Tiebout model. Moreover, as the reviewed literature shows, relaxing Tiebout’s assumption does ...
