Pharaohs were believed to be a god who was placed on Earth and was a provider of an important link between the gods and people of Egypt. He was also responsible for keeping order and making laws. The Vizier was the next most important person in the government of Ancient Egypt. A vizier takes the place of a prime minister, chief justice, and head of treasury.

Since the beginning of civilizations there as always been social stratification or an arrangement in social classes. For instance, there would be the lower class, middle class and of course upper class. Then there is also social inequality. Based on documents from 1000 B.C.E through 465 B.C.E, I can analyze the causes of, and responses to, social inequality during the Classical Age, as well as explaining how one’s status within society influenced one’s perspective of events in that society. Some of the causes included, the extreme power to a single leader, and the desire for power, while some responses would be hatred towards the leader and hard work to stay alive, all depending on one’s perspective due to their status in a society.

Both writers link the importance of a character’s social status with the expectations of their community. In Brave New World, through the routine of hypnopaedia, caste systems emerged, in which the manner people conduct themselves is enforced according to the importance of their caste. Those who are born in a higher caste are born superior and are expected to play an important role in their society, while those born in a lower caste are born inferior, and are simply pawns expected to help the upper classes achieve their expectations. Similarly, in The Crucible, characters that are from the lower classes are the first victims of the many nonsensical and catastrophic accusations that follow. The expectations of the society cause Tituba, a black slave and Sarah Good, an unstable homeless lady to be the first victims accused since they are at the bottom and most disrespected.
According to chapter 1 in the Essentials of Sociology textbook, the main idea of symbolic interactionism is that symbols are the way we can understand how we view the world and interact with one another. “George Herbert Mead (1863-1931) is one of the founders of symbolic interactionism” (Henslin, 2013, p. 57).

In this religion, the superior race, not God, is the center of human history. And the forces which shape history are polar opposites of races, which is the clash between the superior and inferior races. The view in racism is similar to that in the secular religion of communism. But whereas, in communism, economic forces are believed to create the “proletariat” and “bourgeois” social classes, and whereas the clash between the two becomes the basis for the interpretation of the meaning of history, in the religion of racism, the shaping forces of history are determined by genetic forces (Lerner, 2009). Also, because in the racist religion it is only “one race has carried progress throughout human history and can alone ensure
In both these sources the weight of the evidence suggests greatly that that religious differences provided the main cause for the Indian mutiny of 1857, whereas source 3 argues that the caste system was the main cause of the munity however this does link in with religious difference and the weight of this source is not as strong as it was written before the mutiny even happened. So overall sources 1 and 2 most strongly agree with the hypothesis while source 3 suggest it greatly contributed to the mutiny, however ultimately we can infer from all three of these sources that religious differences where the most significant cause of the mutiny in
