She's Such A Slut Summary

Blacks were forced into sharecropping and tenant farming, which meant that they rented plots of land from rich white men, who were most likely their former masters, and paid with either a fixed high rent or a share of their crop. The only way African-Americans were able to afford any supplies or food was if storekeepers extended some credit and in return took a lien on the harvests of vulnerable African-Americans. They were always under the thumb of either their former masters or merchants and they would not be able to escape this until decades

Life in the ghetto was subjected to death. Many took their own lives, and others tried to escape.

According to Merriam-Webster a ghetto is, “ a part of a city in which members of a particular group or race live usually in poor conditions (ghetto).” This paper will focus, however, on what daily life was like in the ghettos, what Jews did or didn’t do to prevent their fate, and how Holocaust survivors are doing now. I chose this topic because when Elie and his family were living in the ghetto in the beginning of Night, it seemed as though they had plenty of opportunities to escape that they didn’t take. It also seemed much closer to pleasant than I imagined, and I was curious to see if that was completely true.

like their jobs in the South. And those who found a job were lucky to have a job at all, because many blacks could find no job, leaving them to live with other job-less blacks in unsanitary and run-down housing. This type of housing grew, creating black slums, or ghettos,

Over the year’s technology has evolved drastically. Technology that involves social media play a huge role in the way people interacts with one another especially when it comes to grammar. Most people communicate using their computers, mobile device or tablets. As technology is changing so has the language. Social media is one of the main forms of communicating with people. Sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Youtube are major social media outlets that are used daily to communicate with individuals near or far. It has formed language using mainly acronyms and emojis (pictures). Emojis has become popular in the past few

The ghettos were streets where Jewish people lived. The three main ghettos were Lodz, Warsaw, and Theresienstadt. It had horrible living conditions. They were non-sanitary, bad electricity, extremely crowded, and there was not enough food. Contagious diseases spread rapidly due to all of these bad conditions. Everyday children became orphaned, and many had to take care of younger

In spite of their freedom, the majority of these blacks lived in the poorest areas of the city, and they were banned from schools and other public amenities. White employers were hostile to African Americans refusing to hire them for anything but inferior jobs, and white customers frowned upon interacting with the black employee. This led to a downhill spiral of all African Americans economic status. Furthermore, if you were a slave during this time period, your opportunity for economic growth was almost nothing. Slaves were still owned and controlled by their masters; therefore, they were confined to the land on which they worked.

African Americans had little opportunity to better themselves economically. Some laws prohibited them from teaching and from entering certain other businesses and professions. Large numbers of blacks had to take low-paying jobs as farm hands or as servants for white employers. Many others were forced to become sharecroppers or tenant framers. They rented small plots of land and paid the rent with money earned from the crops. Struggling to survive, many ran up huge debts to their white landlords or the town merchants. Fortunately, there were rays of sunshine forcing their way through this cloudy time.

They were treated differently. Many could not get a good job and if they did they were payed less. Any african americans moved to the city to get a job but never could. This not only was bad for the economy but it was bad for the city. The city was filled with the homeless. The word ghetto originated from this time because of the dirty streets filled with the homeless. There were many protest so president Lyndon B. Johnson passed the policy known as the war on poverty. The government started more job training and hired more black people on purpose to ease racial tension. From there on African Americans found many jobs with a decent wage to hold their own. Many of these changes were thanks to the many who stood day and night to protest for their rights as an American

Many African Americans were tenant farmers or sharecroppers during this time. The price of cotton fell and farmers were growing too much product to match up with demand. Famers were also battling nature. Many areas in the Midwest and Plains were struggling with lack of water and dust storms. All of these issues caused many farmers, white and black, to up and leave their land to move to the city. African Americans were often excluded from government programs that were established to help farmers recover. It was not until many years later that President Franklin Roosevelt would acknowledge the plight of African Americans. My second picture below depicts an African American couple who are sharecroppers in Mississippi. It is easy to see their home is in need of repair, they are barefoot and disheveled. I feel it is safe to say the African Americans of this time were in a great depression long before and after the whites

The immigrants from abroad and the African-Americans both left their homelands of restricted opportunities and sought to find better ones. The African-Americans came without proper clothing and skills, unaware of the future obstacles ahead. Their environment and surroundings were significantly different in the South than the lively cities in the North. Before migrating, the African-Americans lives consisted of mainly working in the fields in the blistering, hot sun, or working as servants or tenants for white property owners; they had never laid eyes upon a building or factory. For the immigrants, coming to urban America was an enormous change as well. They were oblivious to the American culture, American politics and economics, and were unable to read or speak English, in most cases. While settling in the northern cities, there were certain harsh conditions that the African Americans along with the immigrants experienced. They both were forced to live with their families in small, unsanitary living spaces due to the intense persecution and racialization from American outsiders. Families in neighborhoods grouped together, and each family member contributed economically to the family income. To relieve these challenges and harsh conditions, both African-American and immigrant groups were obliged to do certain tasks in the new, metropolitan surrounding.

In Robin Lakoff's Language and Woman's Place the author Robin tells us her side of the inequity that women face. She wants to see what she can conclude from her experiences. In this article she tells us about her first hand accounts of this through introspection (Lakoff 46). Robin tells us about what language use can tell us about the nature of inequality (Lakoff 45). The author also talks about the subservient functions of women and the roles that sexes play in society (Lakoff 45). Robin wants to know if anything can be done for this cause or is this what our society has destined for women (Lakoff 46). Robin talks about how tag questions avoid coming into conflict about the question with the addressee (Lakoff 55). The author feels like

These areas where a place that was reserved for your kind of person and if overstepped the line and moved in to a street where you were not of the ethnic majority then you would expect a cold, even fierce reception. These ghettos were in virtually every northern city with blacks being mainly in Chicago and New York. Racial tensions were not only present in the northern cities; they were all over the southern states as well as black people sometimes outnumbered the whites.

Gender and language initiate an approach to the study of language use and looks into relations between the meaning and gender. Christie provides a systematic introduction to pragmatic approaches explaining the rules of social language and how pragmatics can be realized be feminist analyses of language’s nature

Language refers to the method that humans use to communicate either through speech or written. It consists of the use of the word in a structured and conventional way. Language has been referred to as ‘our means of classifying and ordering the world; our means of manipulating reality. In structure and in its use we bring out the world into realisation and if it is inherently inaccurate, then we are misled. (Dale Spender, 1980).Language has power that allows us to make sense out of the reality we live in. Sexism is discrimination of a person based on their gender, especially on women. Sexism in language is the use of language which devalues members on one sex, almost always women, showing gender inequality. In the 1960/70’s there was a
