The Criticization Of Camino Real

This film made me think about how relevant this theme is to the society we live in today as it is hard for poorer people to have the same opportunities and experiences as wealthier people because they can't afford it. Instead of everyone being equal, there is still imbalance within our society as money separates us. John Key, who is the New Zealand prime minister is a good example of this as he only caters to the needs of the wealthy people which he instead should be catering to the needs of poorer people. Poverty is a huge issue in New Zealand, which can be a result of not having enough money to buy food. Children go to school hungry and don't have the brain food to focus and work to the best of their abilities. Because of this they are likely to get a lower paid job and it is like a circle like in the film of the rich people staying rich and the poor people staying poor. John Key recently invested 26 million

It is a widely known fact that sometimes, life isn’t fair. Whether it’s for something simpler, a teenager complaining about how they didn’t make the sports team, or something on the grander scale like societal class differences. This is perfectly illustrated by three different characters in Tennessee Williams’ “A Lady’s Beaded Bag.” The lowly trash-picker, the working-class maid Hilda, and lavish Mrs. Ferrabye are all examples of contrasting classes

The play also arguably acts as a critique of Victorian-Era notions of middle class philanthropy towards the poor who believed themselves to be socially superior and had severe moral judgements towards the poor. It also represents the differences and the struggles between the younger and older generation. “Perhaps I ought to warn you that he’s an old friend of mine and that I see him fairly frequently.” This quote clearly suggests that Mr. Birling is trying to bully the inspector through his status and authority in society and the power he has over him, Mr. Birling is comprehending that he is more important than the officer. He believes that having political and social power over people makes him all-powerful, even when he refers to the working class or the middle class. He thinks that the working class is just there to serve you as a labor. Mr. Birling suggests that the working class are not worth crying over, when he uses the quote ‘Several hundred women’ he sees Eva as just one of those worthless girls who worked at his money-making factory. This shows us his overall mindset that all his workers had not more value to him than that they were workers who just earned profits for him. By saying “they keep changing” he shows the readers that he wouldn’t have cared if any woman or man would’ve left his factory. Sheila also argues that her dad had a

Class disparities serve to isolate the impoverished from the bourgeois, this alienation exists because of class but Davis seeks to create this division by race. For example Hugh is worn down and “blackened by his hard labor.

This play had revealed clear view about class tensions and also explaining about the conflicting issues for ethnics in between 1970-1990. Those issues were also the major responsible factors for this Brutal Riots in Los Angeles. “Well, the terrible thing right now, and I don’t know the statistics, but there’s a growing concern in some communities about how rapidly people are sent from school to jail, how quickly they 're put into the criminal justice system. And of course the rapidly growing number

How does the film waver between middle-class values and street values? (Relate to excerpt from There Are No Children Here reading). How does one’s social class need to be a part of any discussion of law and inequality?

She states” they owe nothing to any man , they expect nothing from any man”. The picture that this paints in my head is the group people that are just staring at someone that just broke their leg. They all think that the other guy will do it (and by do it in this case help the person). Alexis explains that this selfishness is blinding and actually separates the community. She ends up explaining that aristocratic nations are more sustainable. She states “ As social conditions continue to grow equal, the number of persons increase who, although they are neither rich nor powerful enough to exercise any influence over their fellows..” . This here is stating that if no one is “super important” with “superior knowledge” then townspeople will be lost and they will never be able to speak over or for one another. Overall, this essay brought towards the idea that selfishness is caused by the lack of rules set place in a democracy. This selfishness in turn blinds the people of America and makes it dysfunctional.

However, some may come to the deeper meaning of this text that the author was trying to get across. Some being the flaws of Capitalism and the “American Dream”; Social Darwinism, only the financially “fit” survive; and how Socialism could be the answer to those who need support financially. These issues have trailed the United States for many years, one example of a result of these issues is the creation of the Black Panther Party in the 1960’s; due to African American’s limited rights, inability to find a good paying job, and cold hatred towards the government. However, because of the ignorance by the majority of upper-class citizens, they would interpret the book as an attempt to persuade others to look down on Capitalism due to the struggles portrayed in the book in result of corrupt rich folk.

Overall, I believe that social class is the main theme in the play, and that Willy Russell has presented the theme very effectively. The two different families living in such a close distance from each other allows the audience to see

From the start the novel is laden with the pressures that the main characters are exposed to due to their social inequality, unlikeness in their heredity, dissimilarity in their most distinctive character traits, differences in their aspirations and inequality in their endowments, let alone the increasingly fierce opposition that the characters are facing from modern post-war bourgeois society.

The poor being grateful and happy shows, for example, “And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good,” (Dickens 4). This quote is used to prove the theme of social justice because it shows happiness doesn’t strive through money and wealth by showing that Fred is happy and finds the good in things life even without much money. This shows that you can live a happy life without lots of money and that everyone can be happy no matter the social justice. The indirect characterization of Fred is used to show that good can come from opportunities that don’t supply money. The difference of poor and rich is shown, for example, “This is and even-handed dealing of the world!” he said. “There is nothing on which it is so hard as poverty; and there is nothing it professes to condemn with such severity as the pursuit of wealth!” (Dickens 27). This quote proves the theme of social justice because it uses a juxtaposition to the impact of poverty and the greatness of wealth. Using this quote the author was able to show that social class is a big part of everyone's life. He also able to show that the poor struggle with more and are more happy than the

The plot structure not only forces people to reevaluate their views on capitalism, the American Dream, and opportunity itself, but furthermore advocates social change. The book implicitly suggests communist ideals through the characters of Tom and Casey. Casey, in his questioning of Christian dogma, begins to reevaluate equality, in the terminology of what is holy.

Mr. Butler represents capitalistic society taking advantage of the common people: Mr. Haskins and his family. After Mr. Haskins had worked towards purchasing the farm from Mr. Butler, he is met with resistance in the form of an unexpected price increase, to which he rebuts, “But you’ve done nothing to make it so. You hain’t added a cent. I put it all there myself, expectin’ to buy” (Garland 761). Garland, as if to emphasize the element of naturalism, writes, “Butler laughed” and has Butler respond to Mr. Haskins, “The law will sing another tune” (Garland 761).

The theme of class prejudice in this book is very important especially since the book takes place during the great depression, a time when people were having money

It reveals that both fight for power, and become their oppressors. It shows the human tendency to maintain and reestablish class structures, even in societies that stand for equality. It describes the classes as animals, and how the higher social status the more control over the lower class. Clover and Boxer are made to represent the middle class, and they show that they do what they are told, without thought since it’s what they need to sustain their life. Mollie is the upper-class, and she shows that they don’t do the work and slack off, for they have everything they need in life. It shows the lives of each, and the treatment of every single
