However, George finds their collective identity a problem when he believes Cheryl will like his friends more than she likes him because they are funnier. Consequently, George tells Elaine and Jerry to be less humorous so that George can appear to be the funniest person in their group and impress Cheryl. Due to their sense of unity and loyalty, George’s request was fulfilled. The quality of group decisions is substantially affected by group norms, as each individual relies on in-group contribution rather than evidence obtained from outside sources. This is shown in Seinfeld when Kramer and George purchased a secondhand wheelchair for Kramer's girlfriend, as it was significantly cheaper than a brand new one.

Secondly, feminism is another reason that some people believe that nuclear families are no longer the norm. Within the 1940’s women were seen simple as housewives and mother, and education within their life wasn’t even thought about. Essentially they were expected to conform to the nuclear family model. Now women are just as likely to be in paid employment like men and therefore this gives them much more status and independence, which makes the nuclear family less likely. Yet others would argue that even the media still supports nuclear families and is socializing the next generation into thinking that it is right for example ‘The Simpsons’, so despite the increase in divorce and feminism the nuclear family will remain popular in British society.
In the two short stories it seems as if the sons’ relationships with their father were quite different, but they also had their similarities because both of them cared for their son. In the story “Powder” the father took good care of his son for he continually tried to give his son what he thought was best. He fought for the privilege to see his son after he already snuck him into a jazz club to see Thelonious Monk (Wolff 1). He was a good dad, for as his son says “He wouldn’t give up. He promised, hand on heart, to take good care of me and have me home for dinner on Christmas Eve” (Wolff 1).
Many of them are financially disadvantaged, the coach goes above and beyond to help these students, he buys them all new uniforms, and he also buys carly new basketball shoes.

In the book when we meet Meg she is described as a homely, awkward, with braces and glasses in the movie she is given a more attractive appeal taking away her glasses and her braces. I feel Disney shouldn’t have done this, because in the book there is a part where after dinner Meg and Calvin O’Keefe (the popular basketball player at her school) take a walk in the Murray’s backyard and Calvin removes Meg’s glasses and tells her, her eyes are beautiful. To make
The store he was working at was dull and monotonous, and he did not want to end up like his store manager Lengel, who was telling the girls they cant wear bathing suits to the A&P. Sammy mainly quits his job because he wants to move up in life and actually live it. When he sees the “queen” of three girls walk up to the register with the “Kingfish Herring Snacks” it suddenly hits him. He realizes that these girls are from a wealthy class, “ all of a sudden…picking up herring snacks on toothpicks off a big plate” (Updike 134) who are living the good life. Sammy also saw a foreshadowing of his future if he had kept his job.
Childhood memories were illustrated in stories by the brothers. They even participated in snagging a Nome they hated as children together and acted like pirates to have a good time. Dominoes was a game that was played in their kitchen to pass the time. Overall, the two brothers had a good time together after not seeing each other for 5 years and the play ended without telling the audience if Malcolm made his decision to stay or leave. The play gave the impression that family is important and should be the most valued in any situation.
The reason for this is because he wanted James to be a man, so his younger siblings could look up to him and make wise choices. Octavia is not a nice mother but James knew in order for his mother to cherish him and be proud of him, he had to do as she said. The mother was preparing his son for the cruel and harsh world that African Americans dealt with at the time. Octavia also showed a lot of pride to his son. After being offered a warm meal by a white woman in town, Octavia refused.
When he returned home, age was only a number. He was forced to grow extremely fast because he was exposed to real life morale dilemmas between right and wrong. O’Brien uses the illustrates symbolism that in the scene with of the baby water buffalo to illustrate misplaced anger. Rat had lost his best friend in Curt Lemon, and wrote a heart felt letter to Lemon’s sister describing the role her brother had played in his life. It was not really a war story at all, it was more of a love story as described by O’Brien.
