John D. Rockefeller used his political and legal power, brought on by his great wealth, to increase his monopoly, buying out small companies to decrease competition, and forcing railroads to favor his corporation. As a consequence of these actions, the government sought to rein in his power by enacting the Sherman Antitrust Act, forever changing the laws by which corporations comply. Standard Oil not only encouraged more railroads being built near production factories, but the entire oil industry has had significant impact on our environment. According to the text “Standard Oil Trust and its successor companies have contributed between 4.7 and 5.2 percent of worldwide carbon dioxide emissions.” By the widespread use of high-quality kerosene brought on by Rockefeller, population’s entire lifestyles forever changed, too. People were free to enjoy activities after sundown, work into the night, and be increasingly productive.
Power and Control in the Police Force Society reaffirms patriarchal masculinity as “men” being able to protect society, especially those who cannot defend themselves. This idea of masculinity in societies has created systems of control for the protection of the people known as the police. However, some members of these organizations abuse their power and control, causing violence towards others. As law enforcement came into power it has been run by a patriarchy system, the practice of men protecting society from criminals. Earlier on it was believed that women were too fragile to defend their own and to this day this mentality still holds, as such strong viable men must come to their “rescue”.
Dismantling Gangs Throughout time, gangs and gang culture have been a distinct force within communities and social ladders worldwide. The government has implemented many ideas and put them forth to work against the gangs, but gangs continue to add to their numbers due to traditional recruiting processes. Gangs make up a significant portion of the United States subcultures in the inner cities and suburbs alike. The only way to combat them is to stick to some sort of effective deterrent against these men and women, which has unfortunately, yet to be found. The politicians and law enforcement agencies need to remember that the gangs must be targeted and attacked as a whole, and not to single out a certain individual within the group.
Many people who are out of work rely on state benefits to survive, and if they have children these benefits often are not enough to keep the family above the poverty line, hence the children suffer by lacking basic essentials such as new school uniforms, schoolbooks, pens, pencils etc, and therefore their education suffers. If these children can’t get a decent education then they
Why children work? 4.......Children work for many reason. Most of the society think that the children are force to work but it doesn't apply to all of the kids. In some cases is because their families are extremely poor and they need the money to survive. Of course you have some children that are physically forced to work.
For example, in the inner city, families place emphasis on working low paying-jobs to stay alive versus attaining an education and wasting time in school. If these children do regularly attend school, the parents are typically inactively involved in their children’s education, and cannot help their children due to their own lack of schooling. French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu claims that the most important trait parents can pass onto their children is “cultural capital.” Whereas economic capital is tangible money, cultural capital is providing the “good home” environment appropriate to raise a functioning family in. Both economic and cultural capital play important roles in properly raising children to believe they can succeed in life. Economic capital can pay for private education, which in most cases is better suited for learning than public education.
It does affect their development, like they don’t see their parents very much because they are trying to get more money so they can take their children out. Disabilities Some parents often struggle to cope with their children who have a disabilities
This puts employers in the position that if one student cannot work unpaid, there are many candidates who can. This is where market failure comes in. Internships are regarded as “merit goods”, which generally benefit society as whole but if the market is left on its own, they tend to be under consumed. Besides, the market failure in providing paying internships inhibits generation of young people from moving up the social ladder. To solve this market failure, government intervention seems to be the only feasible solution so far.
This no doubt at times is a reality because of budgetary restraints common to many not for profit groups. There are also many employees who feel that because they work for a not for profit, they should not expect similar compensation to those in the for profit realm. Another reason for this tendancy is that some not for profit organizations do not feel an obligation to provide compensation anywhere near the same level as for profit corporations. Instead they rely more on the self sacrificing spirit of the employee to want to make a difference in their community. (Nonprofit Organizations) What can not for profits do to attract qualified employees?
As often times they received more in pay than that of the mother. Children also felt a sense of responsibility towards their mother and siblings. If the father’s income was irregular or insufficient, children set out to work in these factories and mines, and would then surrender their pay to their mother so that she would be able to provide for the family. (Humphries, 2008) On the other hand, children were favored over adult laborers because employers could get about the same amount of work done at a fraction of the pay. There was no need for strength to operate industrial machines and children could learn these machines fast.
