In his book Elijah Anderson tries to describe how life is, living in a black poor community in an American town known as Inner-city. In this area everyone is struggling financially and seem distant from the rest of America. The main social class in this town is the “decent” and the “street” families as the community has labeled them. The labeling by the local is as a result of social contest between the inhabitants. The line between a decent and street family is usually very thin, it’s based on a family evaluation of itself labeling itself decent and the other street. The irony is that families bearing a street label may value itself as decent and still valuing other families’ street. However, this labels form the basis of understanding inner-city community lifestyle. The community has many of the white society middle class values but they know the values don’t hold water in the street. They say it does not provide the attitude of a person who can take care of themselves in the street.

First off “Skid Row” is described as having a population of people that do not have “normal” lives (Bittner, 1967). This is subject to perception because each person defines “what is normal” differently. What one person sees as normal could be seen to others as weird. Anyway for the sake of the article. The people that reside in “Skid Row” as Bittner (1967) states “…is perceived as a natural habitat of people who lack the capacities and commitments to live “normal” lives on a sustained basis. From my understanding of the reading “Skid Row” is basically an area in a city that is run down and has been taken over by citizens that cannot afford to go anywhere else. It is the “Ghetto”. Bittner (1967) describes “Skid Row” as “…located in the heart of civilization, it is viewed as containing aspects of the primordial jungle, calling for missionary activities and offering opportunities for exotic adventure.” This leads to the need of patrolmen taking on the role of peacekeeping and law enforcing on “Skid Row” while implementing containment strategies “…to contain it and to salvage souls from it clutches.”(Bittner, 1967).

Your culture has a huge influence on how you perceive the world. Our culture gives us a sense of who we are and where we stand in society. In Chapter 3: The Trouble We’re In, by Allan Johnson, he explains that our experiences that we claim to be real are actually cultural creations and that we see it to be a norm even if we haven 't actually experienced them (p.21). An example that Johnson gave in the first reading was the idea of a black woman in Africa, she doesn’t consider herself black because she hasn’t experienced it, she identifies herself as African and a woman, but if she were to go to America, she would be identified as black because that’s what is practiced in American culture the example shows us that although we don’t really experience things first hand we 're taught to relate to it because of our culture. In the Chapter 9: Getting off the hook, Johnson talks about the idea of one race being better than the other and that is instilled into us through our culture. He explains this by talking about two guys, one black and one white and how they were both treated in social environments. This also shows the power we give others when we allow these cultural norms to influence us. These influences help shape who we become and play a huge part on our social interactions with one another.

He was now left alone in a familiar territory. All around the house, white sheets covered many artifacts that once entertained an audience. The house had a slight smoky odour, which tickled his nose.

Although she mainly studies women and gender, she has also studied branches of science and technology throughout her career. Jackson 's intent is to accurately represent animal-behavior without bias.

To improve my second essay, I have chosen three points from the feedback of my first essay. In my first essay, the theoretical framework was partly incorrect. Thus, I will go over the lecture and re-read the part about developed forms of power in Scott's book "Power". I will also focus my analysis on one specific animal and make sure that I analyse the power relationship correctly. Further, I will focus on the grammar and sentence structure of my essay to improve the readability of my essay.
