I believe that all three of the friends that I interviewed belong to either the middle-class or upper-middle-class social groups.

Captivating, moving, and yet astounding are the words that come to mind after reading Unequal Childhoods, written by Annette Lareau. She stresses the importance of how inequality and economic injustice concerns come into a child's life. Social structure shape individual lives and has the influence to form inequalities. Yet, she gives us insight on how this inequality is reproduced. These factors of education, social class, and family life make me question this American Dream, which is supposed to

American Beauty Things Aren’t Always, As They Seem American beauty (1999, Sam Mendes) is a very unique film with many different themes. The main characters in the film, Lester (Kevin Spacey) and Carolyn Burnham (Annette Bening) prove that there is a big difference in appearance versus reality.

1. In Annette Lareau’s Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race, and Family Life, the author truly struck a nerve with her statement that “America may be the land of opportunity, but it is also a land of inequality” (Lareau, pg. 3, 2003). As an African-American child who experienced a middle-class upbringing for most of my life, I am one of many people who have experienced a mixture of both the opportunities this country provides for people, but the inequalities that follow me in my path of success in life

From a feminist ethics point of view that would be best suited with regards to international ethics is that in which she describes as “universalist and rights-based” (Baier 150). In this approach “all foreigners would have the same right to apply for a visa to enter a given country,
