They also use their power to advance their political agendas. How did these men get and maintain their money? Some of the men shown in the

The film Park Avenue relates to social stratification topic discussed in class since it is the arrangement of a system into different social classes, and it is influence by education, income, occupation, place of living, etc. For instance, in this video they explained how United States is a country of inequalities.

I laughed with him, but the first snow had just begun to fall and the big Christmas trees glittered yellow and white as far as I could see up Park Avenue and I had a new dress and it would be a long while before I would come to understand the particular moral of the story.

Similarly, the poem “Dulce et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen speaks about the true facts of a war that people foolishly

My proposal to revitalize the block of abandoned houses at 8-20 Oakmount Road, 1834-1844 Bloor Street West, and 3-17 Pacific Avenue, is to create an eco-space that has the feel of a space that is eco-friendly and where people can come buy fresh produce, learn about eco friendliness, admire the plants at the green house and eco dome, or sit next to the fountain and admire the beauty. This space could do so much for the community, instead of having a block of houses that benefit no one. Here is a
