Define the “age stratification theory”, and discuss the relevance of this theory to the older person. The age stratification theory is the underlying scheme that groups people into social categories; ranking people based of age, wealth, gender and race. Age stratification, which is based on the social status of a person, is a major source of inequalities and differences between age groups and consequently may lead to ageism. (GCIT, 2012a) 3. Define the “activity theory”, and discuss the relevance of this theory to the older person.
One of the positive effects of passing the DREAM Act is that it will provide legal resident status to the illegal youth living in the U.S., who are passionate about learning and furthering their education. Almost 65,000 undocumented students graduate from high school each year in the United States and cannot further education or obtain a job because of their legal status. If the DREAM Act were to be passed, these students would be able to enroll in a college or university, be able to apply for financial aid and pay in-state tuition rates as well as enter the military (Bennion). Once an immigrant completes 2 years of college or military service they will able to obtain legal status. With their new status in the country they will be able to legally work study and obtain drivers’
A major opportunity is that the area is seemingly going through a renaissance, with many young people moving in and many small businesses opening up. This resurgence of the local economy could potentially be huge for a small team as they could position themselves as partners of the local business community and offer up their facilities for events in the community such as the chamber of commerce. There is also a local college, which presents a huge opportunity to the Nor’easters. College students love cheap things to do, and a $10 ticket to a baseball game (where beer is served, unlike college games) is major motivation for a night out. If the Nor’easters can get a reputation as a fun place for college students to go out for a game, they will have great success.
Many people were drinking all over from adesence to elders. People took it out of control and started taking abuse on it and made serious problems like corruption, child abuse, crime, unemployment, and worker safety. Men weren’t able to provide for there family. This was around the time when divorce wasn’t around and women couldn’t leave the men because of their ADDICTION. On there job, it would be slow down because they were to drunk to be able to put the right parts on the car.

He gets very selfish and his relationship with his family starts to get very bad. He begins to argue with his sister Beneatha more about the money thinking that he’s all a sudden biggity and their mother steps in and makes them come to their senses . His personality changes and he becomes this man with dreams of getting rich and hanging with the whites in bars downtown, sitting outside on their restaurant patios. “mama when im downtown and I pass them cool ,quiet looking restaurants where them white boys are sitting back talking bout things…sitting their turning deals worth millions of dollars… sometimes I see guys don’t look much older.”Pg.74 Walter is thinking of all these plans and things he wants to do but does he know that some places are segregated and that him sitting talking about millions of dollars and deals isn’t gonna get him nowhere in life.

For many years women have been trying to gain more respect from other women but mostly men, so that they can be equal to them. This happens in work, schools, and in the home Cool For You portrays a lot of patriarchy situations. For example when all the students prepare to go to the Arsencia Beach party, they chose a male rather than a female to pick up the liquor for them. This displays male dominance because they are taking control of getting the liquor. Another situation is When the mother feels that her son terry got suspended for drinking because he was suppose to play a male figure in the house since they have no father and he disappointed the family by getting drunk.
Edmundson made a good point when he talked about a student party where four students were on cell phones talking about what they were doing at the party to their friends, who in exchange are also at a party talking about how that party is, and which party they might be going to. “And naturally the simulation party is better than the one that they’re now at (and not at)” (Edmundson 4). I find this to be a great point into why Edmondson feel that people are in more than one place, but not fully enjoying the one place that they are in. The statistic that 2,906 students out of three thousand first year student entered Edmondson’s university with laptops, goes to show that more than half population of Edmundson’s university are played into the virtual cyber space instead of lecture. Edmundson describes glancing over to laptop and seeing that a YouTube and e mail opened but nothing on the subject of class.
I feel that this should be a choice and that the longer you work the greater the amount of money you would receive. The people who do not need Social Security money for their retirement might want to retire sooner. They would then get the minimum benefit, this would keep more money in the Social Security Fund. The negative side to this is that a number of women, minorities, and low income workers, especially if their occupations are physically demanding may not have enough money if the payout is lower to retire at an earlier age. It may also be unfair to African Americans who have shorter life spans than Hispanics and non-Hispanics whites, and who may pay years into a system from which they might not benefit for as
The Working Class Another benefit of having a job in high school is that teens are better prepared for college. Time management plays a major role on the success of any college student because they will have to divide their time into different sections, for example, to study, to do homework, to go out with friends, some to go to work, or even to catch up on some sleeping. Once in college, everyone is expected to be mature and to know how to make choices on their own; everyone must be responsible for their own acts and the decisions they make. One out of four freshman college students drop out within the first few months of their post secondary education; this shows that they had not ever taken a big challenge before. Students with work experience
