Family And Hierarchy

The establishment and enforcement of laws were created by men for their superiority and advancement at every level of society. The superiority of men as the dominant group, led to the implementation of rules and actions that in many forms denigrated the rights of women. According to the author “Who wins what in these struggles depends on the resources controlled by different factions, but also for resources for social organization and for shaping emotions and ideas” (Collins, 1990, p.68). The impact on the submissive group created social disorganization among women. This led to the rise of the dominant group (men) being able to commit physical, emotional and sexual abuse of females without receiving a commensurate consequence because they were the ones controlling the system.

He uses Logos during this section and presents the readers with research and statistics to back up his argument. Finally, Conley argues that the pecking order within the family is the cause for sibling inequality. Different siblings have roles that in the family that are of more importance than the rest of his brother/sisters. This creates a pecking order of sorts in the family, and sets the stage for inequality. Conley uses a combination of ethos and logos to support his own opinion on the matter of sibling differences.

But, it is an obligation to work and make money. As an American you are forcing yourself in the capitalistic action and you have to adapt or you will not have a job. People that can concentrate and show high performance have a better chance at being successful, especially in education. The Religion that people are raised with plays a huge factor in to how successful you are. Weber explains that the economy is survival of the fittest and if you cannot adapt, you will not be successful in this new place.H.L Mencken was a Witty man that talked about America being the land of opportunity

While I did not connect to the racial overtones of the novel, it was the theme of a fluid identity that made this story different from the rest of books on the topic. Before reading the book it was my belief that one’s participation in society defines them, meaning that anyone can be defined by his/her income bracket, occupation, education, or political standing. However, early on with the grandfather of the Invisible Man’s deathbed confession, my belief was beginning to be challenged. Urging him to “undermine ‘em with grins, agree ‘em to death and destruction , let ‘em swoller you ‘till they vomit or bust wide open,” his grandfather presents an ideology towards identity that was opposite to mine (16). While I saw the narrator as a promising young man who would one day make a possible contribution to society, his grandfather would see this “contribution” corresponding with him ending up as a cog in a machine working for a society that actively subjugates him to a life as a second-class citizen.

The author uses multiple aspects of the Das’s family identities to show how identity influences their life, therefore earning a rightful place in the Identity unit. Using cultural, social, and personal identities, the short story shows the importance of identity and how it uniquely shapes each and every person. Identity also shapes groups of people, as shown with the Das family and their American identity. While migration is present in the Das family’s history, the majority of the story focuses on the identities of the family. This evidence compels to believe that the story should be in the Identity unit because of what it taught me about the importance of identity as well.

Living paycheck to paycheck doesn 't allow families to go out and buy other things that they want, they are only able to buy the necessities and sometimes aren 't available to do that. Families who are living on minimum wage may spend more time working trying to provide for their family than spending time for their family. By raising the minimum wage you would help millions of people who are currently earning $7.25, it would get many families out of poverty to help them live better lives and to better provide for their families. So in conclusion I believe that the minimum wage should be raised. The minimum wage should be raised due to having a healthy economy, according to statistics the economy should grow.

“Men who can take paternity leave also end up being more competent and committed fathers later in their children’s lives” (Think). This makes them a better father. Father want parental leave. “Nearly half of fathers feel they don’t get to spend enough time with their children” (Think). Parental leave allows a father more time with his children.

Family roles in ancient history played an important part in family roles today. Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece varied in how their family roles worked. Depending on the civilization, roles varied for each family member. Those roles shaped the way some families worked, as well as how the civilization functioned. In ancient Rome, family roles developed in different ways that many may not know.

In modern day American society, men and women have some of the same roles. Women have a different role today, they are seen just as important as men. The society has completely changed from when the Puritan society was dominant. The Puritan and American societies differ vastly; Puritan men were considered the head of the household, Puritan women were thought of as the weaker sex, but

In most cases women, only being a homemaker is not able to help the family’s financial wellbeing. Therefore, they are motivated to enter the workforce due to the demand for capitalism: thus, this will change family structure because then children must be more independent and family time doesn’t come first anymore due to the calling for efficiency. Both men and women must learn to be a fast pace workers meeting up with workforce deadlines. This would establish capitalist values abolishing the civil value of family importance as discussed in “The Taste for civilization: Food, Politics, and civil society” by Janet A. Flammang. On the other hand, Arlie Russel explains how capitalism takes quality time away from family members, and how it continues to affect people’s connection by making money as the quick solution to most issues and needs.
