An ideal society encourages open systems of stratification. It supports mobility by recognizing those who are hardworking and, as a result, show their achievements. In simpler words, higher and powerful status is given to those who earn it unlike closed systems of stratification where individuals are born with their status. However, the society of Matewan is classified as closed systems of stratification.

Contrasting to this powerful status, the coal miners were the minority who had no power over their decisions and had to obey those who were in a higher social position.

I remember, I remember a time where the world was simple. You got up and worked, ate, met up with a cute girl. A time where the line between good and evil wasn’t blurred; where some of the hardest choices in your life were vanilla or chocolate, coke or pepsi.

From a country that had come from not having a stable economy and not a lot of money, it has become like I said earlier, one of the richest cities in the

The United Arab Emirates is one of the most important tourist destinations in the region. The Arab spring had a very minor effect on the country’s tourism as it did not have a revolution but tourists in countries such as the Americas and Eastern Asia and some European countries were still slightly worried to visit any Arab country as it could be hit by the domino effect of the Arab Spring.
