The purpose or implication behind this game is to feel the life of a low-income person or family and to learn do something for the people in need after playing this game. As I have already mentioned, this game surely have some appeals to pathos, it made me feel certain. After playing this game, I feel that the lives of the low-income people are very tough, hard, and painful. I feel that they don’t live as the normal people of the society; rather they are restricted to their choices simply because of their income. They don’t get to choose what they want; instead their budget forces them to choose something. I understood that not only they don’t get enough food to eat, but also they don’t even get to take care of their

The first example of society behavior is used through the story of a late thirties white man name Benhard Goetz who shoots four black youths on a subway cart in New York. This anecdote is significant to the novel because it takes place in the mid-80s where society is pointed by drugs, and violent brutality wreaks havoc through the city of New York. Leaving his Manhattan apartment, Goetz hops on the subway and notices four African American youths “horsing around,” and “acting rowdy.” According to the story, Troy Canty, one of the boys, asked Goetz for five dollars. Out of instinct James another one of the boys, “gestured toward a suspicious-looking bulge in his pocket, as if he had a gun in there.”

Throughout the entire world there are issues with our societies brought upon by the lack of clear thinking and/or compassion. Many of these issues may not be problems necessarily but just topics discussed when the word “issue” is brought up. One can clearly compare our society to the society described in Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World. In this novel the society Huxley has created is meant to be a utopia, made up of a hierarchy known as the caste system. Social classes in both societies create issues due to the fact that everyone has always had different standings in society.

They were disgusted, amused, shocked, outraged, or even excited by the story. “But we listened for the ones who would say, “Poor little girl,” or “Poor baby,” but there was only head-wagging where those words should've been” (Morrison 190). This continues with the fundamental idea that the community only seems to care on a shallow level. The real-life struggles of people turn into the town’s local gossip. Unfortunately, most people see this information as a new type of entertainment and see the people involved as just characters. In a sense, they refuse to view the lower class as people

Projections that have been made about how today’s society and culture will look in the coming years, decades, and centuries, all have yet to be seen in how valid they are. If you look in any sort of media: television, social media, or radio/music, you will see people giving their interpretations of what will become of our world down the road. Yet, few people look to see how our the current state of culture and society reflect the projections made by people in previous years, decades, and centuries. In looking at the visions of the future presented by both novelas, The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, and The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster, each story presents aspects of society that prominently appear today. Written during the Industrial Revolution, a time where technology and human innovation was at one of its highest points in recent history, both stories explore the possible effects of the machinery that was becoming evermore present. Both authors present aspects such as omnipotent technology, decaying human independence, and destruction of real communication, to create the artistic statement that complacency is rising within the human race, and that complacency will eventually lead to the fall of mankind. In both stories, the authors speak against human complacency and deference to technology, warning that it will lead to the creation of weaker people and society that will ultimately destroy the human race, yet that complacency is present in today’s culture and due to the

This book is about two black children, Layfette and Pharaoh, who grow up in inner city Chicago. They are faced with racism and hardships because of their race and social class. They have different ways of coping, but are better at facing the worst the city has to offer than are many of the other young black children who live around them. During the story the boys are faced with many adversities that stem from the social system. They are faced with gangs, drugs and Chicago housing. However, they also must face their own inner demons that may lead to either of them giving up and giving in to the corruption of the inner city. One of the major turning points in the story is when Layfette gets arrested for vandalizing a car, even though he says he did not. He gets released and is gets off with probation and 100 hours of community service. After this incident the author gets both kids in to a private school where Pharaoh thrives and starts to make good grades instead of daydreaming. Unfortunately Layfette could not handle the pressure and returns to public school. During this time Rickey starts running drugs for one of the local gangs. He is later arrested for carrying a butcher knife. The CHA finally cleans out the horrendous mess in the Henry Horner basements and reclaims the buildings from the gangs. Dawn and Demetrius finally get an

Everyone wonders how the future will be. What will change, what will stay the same? Everyone has their own views and scenarios on the future just as Brave New world and Divergent do. Brave New World and Divergent both take a look at the theme of social stability by analyzing setting, perspective and control. They both depict the future to be divided into five factions or castes where everyone is designated to a specific one. However, that may not always be the case as these two works show.

The story is told by narrator, Nick Carraway who has moved to West Egg, a district of Long Island, a wealthy but unfashionable area populated by people who have become rich quickly and show off their wealth but have no social connections.

Class and financial poverty are frequent visible themes in the book. The most obvious is Joe’s lower class background and constant struggle to find enough money to attend school. Another example is the competitions between

The specific episode I will be analyzing for my paper is Season 1: Episode 7, Frank Gallagher: Loving husband, devoted father, which is mainly about Frank owing two debt collectors $6,000. He forms a plan of faking his death, because he doesn’t have money to pay them back. Frank needs his family’s help to accomplish this task in order to save his life. My main focus is on the negative stereotypes of poor class

The characters have lost control of their lives, and are being taken advantage of by their toxic environment. Everyone acts tough but they all share similar insecurities on the inside, however they cannot reveal these inner vulnerabilities without being ridiculed and physically punished. The short stories in this novel are analogies in which the characters have been satirized and are compared to the impoverished people in the real world. To accomplish this, Selby uses a very unique writing
