For centuries, the caste system dictated almost every aspect of Hindu life. The caste would eventually split up into upper and lower classes, causing a segregation between both communities. There have been many attempts to get rid of the system, but unfortunately it is still being used in India today. In Document 3, the excerpt from the Mahabharata states “Enjoy the pleasure bestowed on you, and bear the pain on you.” Referring to the caste system, this statement describes the pleasures or the pain that a Hindu receives in their lifetime.
Games of hockey are often described as battles between teams, filled with physical contact, aggression, and determination. However, one violent hit that occurred in 1996 continues to affect teams to this day, over twenty years later. Many argue that the biggest factor in the situation was the effect of the player’s personality, specifically the widely-hated one of Claude Lemieux. In spring of 1996, the Detroit Red Wings were playing the Colorado Avalanche in the National Hockey League’s Western Conference finals. A subtle rivalry previously existed between the two teams, but during Game 6 of the series Claude Lemieux transformed it into one of the biggest rivalries in NHL history.
In Caste by Isabel Wilkerson, I think that the main idea is that America is collapsing and our new generations are supposed to fix it. To me, the message of this passage is that our ancestors have put up this system of hierarchy that tore them apart and is affecting us today. I feel as if this system is what helped cause the present racial problems. Wilkerson says that this hierarchy system is artificial, made to make a group of people feel less than another. Without this system, things might not be the way they are, perhaps America wouldn’t be collapsing.
Specifically, two authors, Edward W. Byrn and H. G. Wells, discusses their own opinion consisting between the thought
The Crucible is a play with themes largely applicable to major current events of today. The matters that we face as a society that are featured in this book are: discrimination in the court system, what is a lie, and the freedom to criticize our government. Discrimination in America’s legal system was rampant in the early 1690s and, I would argue, is still as rampant, but much more subtle. In the Salem witch trials, there were three accused witches originally. All three of these accused witches were social outcasts, although they were targeted for very separate reasons.
How does social class affect people’s lives? Social class groups individual persons into class hierarchy which is determined by person’s income, education, wealth, social connection, and job profession. Social class classifies people into spectrum of class such as lower class, lower middle class, middle class, upper middle class, and upper class. Depending on which class an individual falls in affects earnings, education, respect, success, status, family life, health, job occupation, and social connection. An individual that lies in higher part of class spectrum gets more opportunities and has better lives than an individual that lies in lower part of class spectrum that does not get opportunities and struggles in lives.
Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson argues that the United States, as well as other countries have a caste system that is based on race and history due to slavery and discrimination. Wilkerson explains that caste is a social order that is enforced through social and cultural norms and that it is different from class or race-based discrimination. Additionally, she argues that caste is a system of social classification that is based on ancestry and birth. In the United States, the caste system is based on race with white people at the top, and black people at the bottom. She believes that this caste system is implanted in American society and that it has roots in our history, slavery and Jim Crow segregation.
Argued Davis and Moore thesis states that social stratification is universal because of its functional consequences. in caste system, people are rewarded for performing the duties of their position of birth, in class systems, unequal rewards attract the ablest people to
There are many different societies in our world today, and each of these communities treat and group their people differently. While some places, like the United States, do not have set groups, others, like India, have very strict laws about what each class can and cannot do. The Caste system in India is a great example of how one society strictly groups their members. The Caste system is a class structure that is determined at birth.
Karen: In my opinion I think that we live in a society that has always been discriminatory. People discriminate in all aspects of life from someone’s car color to someone’s skin color. We also treat differently people and thinks according to our preferences. Therefore, when there is a big group of people with a common culture and identity people that do not share their identity are always treated differently. These people are encouraged to assimilate into the big group of people because they think that in that way they will be treated equally.
Some might argue that India’s Caste system is closely related to However, Caste and social hierarchy were more different because Caste happens over different lifetimes, and social hierarchy can happen over one. In the caste system people could move their position in their current life, however they could have moved up or down depending on how they acted in their last life. In the Social hierarchy, men could move up or down depending on whom they married, however women could not move throughout the chain. “Women were generally seen as inferior to men, dominated by their bodies rather than their minds.” (McKay pg
Social classes are a form of social stratification that refers to the existence of structured inequalities between individuals and groups in society. A social class is a group of people of comparable status, power and wealth which are usually classified as upper class, middle class, and lower class. For each class, there are some specific opportunities available that influence their social life. We can understand about the particularity of the chances through unequal distribution of these opportunities between individuals in social classes. In here belonging to a social class seems to be an obstacle for some individuals to obtain equal opportunity, unlike upper class people.
