My thoughts on what culture truly is have changed tremendously after taking Intro to Sociology. My thinking of my own and others has changed since my first PVR 1. In my first PVR, I included pictures of two sweatshirts which represented my volleyball team and my current school, a cross, a box of Macaroni and Cheese, tennis shoes, a picture of my family, an EOS chap stick, and sunglasses.

Women with a higher social status tend to be treated worse than those with lower statuses; they are treated as if they are an object to possess and control. Social status determines the outcome of the women in the poems and the way they are treated.

with your tutor. American Dream and Social Status In this essay I will try to argue that even though Jay Gatsby is a very wealthy man, he is, since he falls short in most of the aspects that determines a person’s social status, not an equal to the likes of Daisy and Tom in the eyes of the old upper class society. Therefore, Gatsby never stands a chance of succeeding with his attempt to win back Daisy, who is a part of that society and of a different status. The ambition to succeed

When looking at today’s school system, there is an evident gravitation towards a “for the masses” curriculum. This forces students of all ages and learning styles to conform to a system that may or may not work best for them.
