Forty years ago, in an era of far more overt conflict between the generations than there is now, a slightly smaller share (74%) of the public said yes to the same question.2 What could explain the similarities in the two numbers in the face of such differences in the two eras? This latest survey appears to solve the mystery. Yes, there are big differences between young and old today in their values, attitudes and behaviors, but no, these differences haven’t created conflicts between the generations. To borrow a phrase, the generations appear to have found a way to disagree without being disagreeable. [pic]Moreover, where perceived generational differences exist today about moral values, work ethic and respect for others, today’s young adults — by heavy margins — believe that these differences have arisen because their generation hasn’t lived up to standards set by older adults.
At first limits his heroism, as Ender believes this is true, “like us they keep the little sucker till he’s six years old. When did you loose yours? You were three. I lost mine before I was five. He almost made it, little bastard little bugger” (Pg 10) though later in the book we see Ender using this as a way to enhance his heroism as he wants to prove his brother wrong.
He is raised to act based upon what he sees and knows. Since the father is dealing with the fact of losing his loved one, it is consequently the same for the son. The father and his son are similar in the fact that they do not know how to react to each others actions. The boy does not even flinch when his father speaks to him about the dirty wig upon his head. The eight year old putting his smooth arms around his father's neck proves that the boy's strange behavior is partially due to the father's behaviors.
As he is unable to achieve these luxuries through work, he may turn to criminal activity because he wants to be like his peers as he feels pushed out. Sociologists believe that to some extent, relative deprivation is the key cause of crime in society however there are some other aspects that affect this. Sub-cultural theories are a belief of some sociologists where crime is explained by saying that criminals learn how to commit these crimes from their peer groups or subculture. Cohen in 1955 completed a study on working class boys in North America and found that they were easily involved in gangs. One aspect that was said to have pushed them away from the education system and towards these gangs was because they had middle class standards and values and these boys were unable to live up to the high expectations of these teachers.

He is frequent acts of selflessness, and to Huck, he is more like a father than a friend. When the time he was caught and sent to the jail, Huck decided to against the society to help Jim to escape. For helping him, Huck has to choose from what is right to do, and what is good for his friend. “Alright, then, I’ll go to hell” (193). Jim teaches Huck how to make right decisions, how to treat people equally no matter what race they are, and the love of friendship.
The use of emotion was shown a lot through this man Derreck Davis, a member of the Maryland House of Delegates, who was robbed at gun point and held this rage for many years. When the repeal came up to abolish death penalty, he made it clear that he was against it. As he observed his delegates arguing, “He realized, in his words, that ‘You can't make laws out of rage; you have to have a calm spirit’” (Jealous & Braveboy, p. 3). This quote appeals to pathos because this man appreciates the importance of making the right decisions concerning the law. This shows he cares more about what is right for the people then his own personal benefits.
