Doormen and tenants are socially distant from, yet immensely close to each other. Nannies often have to personalize their service to accommodate the needs of different children, and by doing so, they accumulate both directly and indirectly an extensive knowledge about the people they work for. But to keep professionalism, they often do not disclose much about their own personal lives and because nannies are often employed by those who are relatively wealthy, there is also a class distance. Bearman reveals that there is an inconsistency in the relationship between doormen and tenants because on a socioeconomic level, tenants are often from a higher status, thus creating an apparent class difference. But in order for doormen to deliver professional service, they must pay attention to tenants’ specific lifestyles and tenants themselves often unknowingly train doormen by letting their preferences be known either implicitly or explicitly. Such interaction bridges the distance since doormen develop a rather intimate knowledge about and a personal closeness with the tenants. An alternative explanation that could explain why doormen and tenants have a conflicting relationship is that social distance is always perceived because it is ingrained by societal norms, but it contradicts with a closeness that is actually tangible. There is an indelible mindset influenced by social standards that when an individual works for another person, especially for monetary pay, the inherent

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.
All members of the staff must act as professionals while at work, especially with young children. The administrative and teaching staff must work together to ensure their practices are developmentally appropriate, and share new and/or creative ideas with one another. It is also the responsibility of a teacher to establish an open, trusting relationship with the parents of each children in their care. Thus, parents can freely communicate their thoughts, concerns, and/or suggestions about their child or the program. Parent satisfaction is something that every child care or development center should strive for.

To date, a variety of scholars has already conducted researches of all kinds devoted to the investigation of the human’s problem of social interaction. As an example, the article Salvaging the Self can be named. This scientific work was written by David Snow and Leon Anderson in 1992, and it was aimed to explore the nature of interaction between homeless and settled people.
We encounter too many people everyday and it’s impossible to get to know them all. We observe and gauge them based on appearances, just like we do with “ Books based on their cover ” says Edwin Rolfe in “Murder in the Glass room”. In “Strangers” by Morrison, she meets a fisherwoman at her neighbor’s seawall. Morrison notices that the woman was “wearing men’s shoes, a man’s hat, a well-worn colorless sweater over a long black dress”(Morrison 199). It seems upon seeing disgracefully dressed fisherwoman Morrison feels sympathy for her since roughly dressed people are considered to be unsuccessful and defeated in today’s world. Whenever we see homeless people weather on streets or on television they are always shabbily dressed, but have we ever seen a successful person dressed like a homeless guy? We think and opinionate based on our past experiences and adapt to what we see and hear in the environment around us. ||||| In “Stranger in the village” Baldwin visits a little village in Switzerland to work.

Vollmann's self-definitions include his pondering over how much education a beggar needs. If this beggar does not want to become literate but is happy, who is he [Vollmann] to judge on whether the beggar is poor or not, This leads him to the realization that we should respect others self-awareness and self-judgments; Vollmann consecutively makes this point. Who is he [Vollmann] to judge someone's sense of poverty. Being a Sacramento native, Vollmann constantly sees homelessness and poverty, he discusses the phenomenon of everyday American citizens ignoring the unperceivable poverty-stricken individual sleeping on the sidewalk.
The setting of a rundown house in a poor neighborhood gives the impression of their struggle to survive as African Americans. The shabbiness of the exterior suggests their low social status. “A relatively recent addition to the house and running its full width, the porch lacks congruence. It is a sturdy porch with a flat roof. One or two chairs of dubious value sit at one end where the kitchen window opens on to the porch. An old fashioned ice box stands silent guard at the opposite end” (Wilson, setting description). While the newly added porch may represent an attempt to
The problem is accentuated by the widening of the gap between rich and poor, that can be translated in this matter as an increase of difficulty for low-income families to have access to the much more expensive high quality day care options. There are several aspects that built such a controversial situation and the most important are certainly the cultural and economical ones. The huge growth in women’s independence and professional ambition, in addition to importance, of the last decades, caused the fall of the cultural basis that have always taken for granted the responsibility of the mother as the full-time caregiver (Chisholm 38). Now women are more willing to gain a successful and respectable place in society, and this can be achieved almost exclusively through hard work and full immersion in their jobs. Simultaneously, the economical situation of our society caused many families to depend on two incomes to satisfy the basic needs. In fact, the increase in the cost of living not sufficiently balanced by a relatively smaller rise in wages, and a greater attitude toward materialism and conspicuous consumption, have given women the same financial responsibility as men (Chilman 451). This aspect can be fully applied only on families with an average income or better, because professional daycare programs are pretty expensive and in some cases can reach prices higher than the minimum wage. Those factors
In our society it is very easy to judge a person’s character and value by their appearance and perceived stature. It is simple to dismiss someone who is homeless as being a useless vagrant, regardless of their background, but what happens when the opposite occurs? The novel Being There by Jerzy Kosinski touches on the implications that our need to find connections in others based on perceived similarities could have on private ventures and governance as a whole.
