Class and Community by Alan Dawley is a book written about the impact that factories and industrialization had on little towns such as that of Lynn, Massachusetts. This book goes into strong detail about how the lives of factory shoemakers were forever changed when the industrial revolution came about. The industrial revolution was such a game changer for these shoemakers mainly due to the factory system it introduced and the hardships that came with that. This book was originally written to show how many hardships these shoemakers had to go through and the massive difference they made in the path of the industrial revolution so the little man was not overlooked.
In Alan Dawley’s, “Class and Community”, Dawley portrays the transformation of Lynn, Massachusetts through the depiction of shoemakers and how the Industrial Revolution shaped their community’s overall way of life, and how a simple town of artisans became an epicenter for a nation the was becoming an industrial powerhouse. “Equal Rights” and community went together in Lynn as they both demand respectability and living up to certain standards. Before the central shop, most any land or building was a means of production, but once they came into the picture, they became the symbol for production. The pursuit of “equal rights” in Lynn made them a “microcosm of the industrial revolution” because everyone was fighting for the same cause, not just men, but both sexes. The treatment of the employees by factory owners was so unjust that people set aside other problems and struggles and came together under one cause, to fight something bigger than themselves.

The foundation and development of a human being stems from the individual’s position within his/her life (for instance, his/her opinion, stance, about oneself in regards to his/her own expectations) and within his/her communities as a member of a household, a race or even as a gender. The key factor of this notion, take in consideration the vast knowledge a person can evaluate against their own understanding.

An open-minded
The purpose of this paper is to explore the concepts of social identity and social location as well as the questions about the importance of awareness of one 's own worldview and social position. It also provides an outline of social and cultural experiences, values, beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes that help shape and determine one 's social identity.

Involving students in learning communities and other activities is key. “Culture is the tie that binds the ‘invisible tapestry’ that connects and give meaning to activities and events” (Schuh, Jones, Harper and Associates, 2011, p. 266). Students aspire to feel that they belong to something larger than them. Belonging to a club, a basketball team, or an association brings students together for a meaningful purpose. It is the students that work together to provide purpose and direction for the group (Schuh, Jones, Harper, and Associates 2011).
Michael Ignatieff once stated, “To belong is to understand the tacit codes of the people you live with”. In society and in certain groups, group identity is often craved by all and highly prized once obtained because, by most standards, a person is defined by their social standing, which is a common theme throughout literature such as The Scarlet Letter and The Crucible. To thoroughly understand Ignatieff’s statement, “to belong is to understand the tacit codes of the people you live with”, one must determine what the word, belong, means. According to the dictionary, to belong means to have the right personal or social qualities to be a member of a particular group. But how can someone truly learn to belong in society?
Social mores are those unwritten rules that dictate how we act in public. They are the things that irritate the general public, like when a person is walking on the “wrong side” of the sidewalk. No law governs which side a person should use, but society expects that one would use the same as what they would drive. If a person enters an elevator and faces the back rather than the front, not only will it make others uncomfortable, but it will be uncomfortable for that person as well. In a similar fashion, attempting to go against the socially expected behaviors for one’s gender is uncomfortable to the point of avoidance.

In today's society, the balance between individualism and conformity to society's expectations is a prominent and deceptive conflict. Oftentimes, the individual must put his uniqueness aside and settle for a view of an occupation, hobby, or idea that society agrees with. Instead of expressing original and creative ideas, they are held hostage by comparing themselves with the lives and accomplishments of others and the standards their our society. One of the biggest tools of society, social media, allows people to share ideas and interests with everyone. However, naturally, one will only post what he knows others will accept and enjoy just as he does.
