Essay On Sewertarians

320 Words2 Pages

The family life is very important to the Sewertarians as well. Almost all Sewertarians practice monogamy and stay married to the same partner for life. A nuclear family is considered to be these two partners and however many children they may have. The parents are also encouraged to take an active part in their children’s education. There is no formal school to send children too, instead young Sewertarian children take on apprenticeships at the age of 8. These apprenticeships include working with master hunters, gatherers, and medics. The apprenticeship lasts for 6 years, except for the medic which takes 10-20 years to finish. This is one of the reasons why medics are usually older and fairly rare. The young Sewertarians also have the option of jumping into the workforce as a laborer at the age of 12. Nearly all of the young and even many of the elders are afraid to visit the medic as it often leads to bad news, and in turn the citizens of Sewertaria have biopower. This biopower includes wearing protective suits in the sewer water, practicing safe sex, and regulation of Sewertarian customs. …show more content…

However, recently there has been unrest among the Sewertarians. The different races of Sewertarians have been treating each other with prejudice, because New York Sewertarian’s believe they are the best race of Sewertarians. New York’s Sewertarians believe that they are superior to other races because they were the first ones in Sewer. This has led to the discrimination of other groups of Sewertarians including Boston Sewertarians and Chicago Sewertarians. This discrimination includes refusal the New York Sewertarians refusing to give medical care to a Boston Sewertarian leading to his death. Had this Boston Sewertarian received health care he may have survived. however, the New York Sewertarians believe they have “pure” Sewertarian blood and cannot interfere with others that are not of pure

    1244 Words  | 5 Pages

    Jacob Riis in “How the Other Half Lives” is about the squalor that characterizes New York City’s working class immigrant neighborhoods. He describes deplorable conditions of these immigrants by providing specific examples, relaying them through quotation and images alike. Riis comments on the injustices that the residents of the tenements faced on a regular basis. So, with his attention to detail, Riis provided the contemporary reader with unsettling images of the poor and marginalized along with a few examples of the benefits of reform and reorganization in the poorer communities, to the benefit of residents. Another observer, Richard T. Ely, in “Pullman: A Social Study” writes about the community of Pullman, Illinois located in the suburbs of Chicago.

  • From How The Other Half Lives By Jacob Riis Summary

    Charities as well as financial, housing provisions might not be the best solutions to the increase of crimes: the problem had to be solved where it rooted. As Jacob Riis suggested, the cause of it is most likely because of both legal and illegal immigration: “In New York, the youngest of the world’s great cities, that time came later than elsewhere, because the crowding had not been so great. There were those who believed that it would never come; but their hopes were vain” (365). Riis also implied that community gave those people - the “other half” no other choice; yet they had more choice than most: they were living in a city much younger than others, less crowded and many of them were immigrants who moved to New York by choice - conscious choice made rather recently, to say the least. Furthermore, Jacob Riis was quick to discard the fact that having this kind of agency may have been a spark to the riots - the unquenchable desire for better lives coupled with an unwillingness to accept reality as it is.

    Living with people of the same nationality comforted and brought a sense of reassurance to the new life of the immigrants. The police often found themselves dealing in conflicts between different ethnic groups. “These 'dangerous classes' of New York compelled recognition” because of their vast size and possible wealth (209). The recognition turned to power, but the tenants lacked money. The tenants often looked to other, sometimes illegal, ways to earn money and provide for their families, creating ethnic gangs.

  • Black Citymakers Book Review

    596 Words  | 3 Pages

    Although this effort is ultimately unsuccessful, it points to Hunters view that an act of agency need not be successful to count as a meaningful way of engagement and of shaping the evolution of the city. In fact, this view corroborates and gives credence to his assertion that the truly disadvantaged (whose efforts may therefore not always be successful), can still be seen as citymakers (p.214). He goes on to write about housing reform efforts in the 1930s that lead to a lot of migration out of the neighborhood, a long and successful effort to stop the construction of a highway that would split a neighborhood as well as the successful election of W. Wilson Goode in 1983 as the first black Mayor of the region (p. 185). Throughout the book, Hunter provides examples of intra-political and intra-racial politics, which serve to remind us that history is not always so straightforward.
