    Hyacinth Bucket – Keeping Up Appearances Hyacinth Bucket, the lead character in my favorite British sitcom “Keeping Up Appearances”, should be diagnosed with a narcissistic personality disorder. The first indication that Hyacinth suffers from a distorted sense of self or grandeur is the manner in which she insists that her last name be pronounced. There are countless examples throughout the series in which Hyacinth corrects others as to the proper pronunciation. “It 's Bouquet!

Because of their simultaneity in people's lives we advocate using the approach of a "matrix of domination" to analyze race, class, and gender as different but interrelated axes of social structure. The matrix of domination or matrix of oppression is a sociological paradigm that explains issues of oppression that deal with race, class, and gender, which, though recognized as different social classifications, are all interconnected. This structural pattern affects individual consciousness, group interaction, and group access to institutional power and privileges. In the Disney movie, Aladdin, both status and gender affect positions in the matrix of domination, but an analysis of the

    Jane Austen’s books are mostly based on a social hierarchy, especially when it came to the English societies. The people were supposed to know their place in the society and act accordingly. The actions of a person were solely based on how the society would want them to be in their designated social class. For instance, if you were to be brought up in the wealthier parts of society, your schooling, the clothes you were, the land you own and the family that you were to get married into hold great importance in what rank of society you are going to be in. Even the things that might seem so simple such as; bowing to greet other or just the way you address people would show which class in the social hierarchy you belong to.
