The unfortunate part is that they are still there when the parents arrive home early to discover their, still very drunk, babysitter with some extra people in their home. The rumours about the girl that ensue after this unintended night of debauchery cause the girl to get a reputation as a bad girl and as a result she loses her social status and all of her babysitting clients. In the story “All the years of her life” by Morely Callahan, the narrator tells us about an incident in which Alfred Higgins is caught stealing goods from his employer’s store. His employer, Mr. Carr then calls Alfred’s mother who rushes down to the store to bail him out of the sticky situation. Thanks to Alfred’s mother’s simple earnestness and humility when talking to Mr. Carr, the worst he gets is to lose his job.
Robert’s relationships and social interaction were not fully developed. Being rejected in an attempt to build social interactions could definitely have caused Pickton to feel inferior. As this feeling of rejection continued, it developed into anger which he then chose to release through attacking the initial source of it all, women. With William being a simple pig farmer in rural Vancouver, he needed to overcome his feeling of inferiority and be dominant. With his limited relationships with the opposite sex, he was never taught how to be respectful towards women.
But what else does the image of the Inspector as a character represent? From Priestley’s description, it seems he is a voice of conscience for the unrepresented classes, such as Eva Smith, representing their point of view where they can’t against the bourgeoisie – The Birling’s. Priestley’s object is for his play feeling at least somewhat more companionate and conscious for their fellow man. A clever device used by Priestly is the stark contrast between Birling and the Inspector, for example, and he does so to make the polar attitudes of the two of them that much clearer. Birling’s comfortable and privileged world view we see from the beginning is challenged the second the Inspector steps through the door, he almost seems to be coming from a different world, and the image of the girl we are instantly presented with just refuses to fit into their upper-middle class lifestyle and such an image is never let slip as the Inspector continues to reinforce that same image throughout his interrogation.
Inspector calls-Social responsibility In An Inspector Calls, the central theme is responsibility. Priestley is interested in our personal responsibility for our own actions and our collective responsibility to society. The play explores the effect of class, age and sex on people's attitudes to responsibility, and shows how prejudice can prevent people from acting responsibly. Priestley was a socialist and one of the big questions he is asking his audience is ‘How should society be organised?’ He is offering us a choice between socialism in which the rich are compelled to share their wealth or through capitalism where you are allowed to keep more of your money. Priestly puts across his social message by making the inspector to try get the others to accept that all people share a common humanity and so are all put of an independent community.
(p19) 4. Regarding Maggie's state of mind after leaving a melodramatic play: "Maggie always departed with raised spirits from the showing places of the melodrama. She rejoiced at the way in which the poor and virtuous eventually surmounted the wealthy and the wicked. The theatre made her think. She wondered if the culture and refinement she has seem imitated, perhaps grotesquely, by the heroine on the stage, could be acquired by a girl who lived in a tenement house and worked in a shirt factory."
While their opinion of what kind of people need to be removed from society differs, these men are in fact identical when it comes to their aims of proving their deep-rooted, megalomaniacal conceptions of society infallible. Major Barbara’s Andrew Undershaft, is a cunning and godless capitalist who was adopted into the business of manufacturing artillery by the Undershaft tradition. Due to the nature of his merchandise and his business role in society, the morals he practices are ones developed to serve a greater purpose. Undershaft’s primary moral belief is that poverty is, “The worst of all crimes”, and that all other crimes are an indirect cause of having a lower class. Correspondingly, he implies that the people who continue to practice poverty only do so in an obsession to uphold subordinate religious morals.
The roll of the woman is very different and the refugees are very surprised that Carrie is an independent woman that works for its own and doesn’t have a husband because in their culture, the man (also called Chief) is the one who maintain and protect a family. The clash of values isn’t positive or negative, each country and society share different values that nobody can say if they are right or wrong, there are different. The cultural identity isn’t respected in the US. For example, when Jeremiah, works in a supermarket, he has the value of not throwing the food away and when he tells that to his boss, he is fired. The reaction of the Americans don’t show much respect and tolerance to this culture because they aren’t accustomed to cultures that are much more different from theirs and aren’t able to understand their context and their situation.
Conflicts in The Importance of Being Earnest The outcome of conflicts in drama can reveal values in a play more than the actual conflicts themselves can. One play where this is true is The Importance of Being Earnest, by Oscar Wilde. Set in Victorian England, this play satirises the aristocracy of the time. Usually, authors of that Period used the lower classes as their roving grounds for social commentary, but unlike authors such as Dickens, Wilde used the upper classes, with which he was personally familiar. Oscar Wilde knew the upper class, and he knew that the lives they lead were so dry, boring, concerned with manners and customs, and so perfectly earnest that it was almost inhuman.
Pushing Paper Can Be Fun Introduction The police captain is having a problem with getting his officers to file accurate and timely paper work. The officers prefer the contact they have with the public rather than sitting at the desk doing paperwork. Since the officers dislike preparing paperwork, it is often put off or done inadequately. There is not anything motivating the officers to change their attitude towards the paper work as the captain has no financial rewards in place due to budget crunches. And promotions are determined by seniority, not the quality of the paperwork.
