For the essay Night, the author provides the different aspects that are attributed to the night. Generally when someone thinks of nighttime they just think about it as the end of a day and moving on to the next day. However, in the essay it is demonstrated that night has various meanings and significances in our lives. MacAuley states that night provides a mysterious, and impenetrable depth of fear and darkness to an individual. He also demonstrates how various artists are able to portray night as a beautiful landscape and create the opposite feeling of fear.
Justice is what is seen to be right and just by society and this means that society is catered for. However, an outsider does not conform with society so what they may think is just is different to society. These conflicting views mean that societies justice can be placed on the outsider. Outsiders are often isolated, they don't fit in or necessarily want to fit in . They often don't pick up on the nrules or cues society have to operate.
“Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack of White Privilege” In Peggy McIntosh’s essay, she addressed several issues that are considered to be very important ones. She speaks of how whites are given hidden privileges, yet they don’t even realize it. I believe that the purpose for her writing this, was to bring out in the open the issues of oppression with regards to the dominant race and their “unearned privileges” that they are so oblivious to. McIntosh compared this situation to how men are more privileged and advantaged, and women are at a more disadvantaged state. In comparison, she also stated that men do indeed admit to a woman’s disadvantage, yet a man will not agree to being more advantaged, because they too are oblivious to this fact.
So by forming a delinquent subculture, it becomes a means of achievement through an illegitimate opportunity structure. In terms of evaluation, Miller disagrees with Cohen's approach to explaining delinquency and argues that it is false to assume that all working class delinquents see mainstream values, goals and success as superior and desirable and therefore develop delinquent tendencies due to this and a lack of approved methods of getting to said goals. There is also research carried
What were the Social and Political Effects of Industrialisation in Europe? The industrial revolution was an evolving process that led a society from an economy based on feudalism to another that was centred on large-scale productions, factories and machines: technology. This concept was used in Britain from the late 18th century up to the First World War where that enormous transition slowed down, because industrialisation has continued up till nowadays. The French Revolution caused many political and social changes, as new ideologies appeared next to a strong sense of equality and a demand for more liberty. Anyway it was the Industrial Revolution the one to achieve a complete transformation in people's lives.
The era following World War I witnessed the burgeoning of a new lifestyle that characterized the 1920’s. The Great War, now famously known as World War I had brought America to the forefront of the global outlook. The war time excesses in production transformed into prosperity during the next decade which would watch America seek continued isolation despite the mounting global challenges. The Great War and the ensuing Versailles Treaty had left Europe in a rather deprived and devastated state where the Europeans continued to seek cultural and economic assistance from their cross-Atlantic neighbors. With new job opportunities, progressive ideas, an air of liberalism had engulfed the American continent.
In Ursula K Le Guins' story "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" and "Why The Future Doesn't Need Us" by Bill Joy, both authors conclude that individual freedom endangers the safety and well being of society. Individual freedom demands individual responsibility if their society is to remain safe. This point is explored from different views in the respective works, and while Le Guin puts the power in the most underprivileged, Joy shows the destruction in the hands of the elite. Both agree that the end result of irresponsible freedom of individuals could lead to the destruction of society both physically and socially. "I do not know the rules and laws of their society, but I suspect that they are singularly few" (Le Guin, Ursula K. "The ones who walk away from Omelas").
Emerson’s view on consistency is, once again, completely different form the average view from society. He sees consistency as a bad trait and something that everyone should shy away from. I myself believe that Emerson is right in believing consistency isn’t such a great thing. I believe people should be inconsistent and change their mind if they are given a certain amount of proof to change their mind. This is how Emerson sees consistency; he is very much against it and looks down upon those who do not change their minds.
<BR>How convincing is the argument that the year 1822 marked a turning point in the way Lord Liverpool’s government approached its domestic policy ? <br> <br> On the face of it , the year 1822 did mark a significant turning point in the way Lord Liverpool’s administration dealt with its domestic policy .

In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the author presents her thoughts and impressions of society. Shelley portrays the defects of society, arguing that society sees only physical appearance rather than adhering to what is truly important in a human being’s character. Shelley supports the following argument by revealing the creature whose form is extremely monstrous and unfamiliar to society, but who he is also just as human as Victor and Elizabeth. Shelley conveys the importance of appearance in society; The effect of monstrosity thus plays a major part in Frankenstein. Shelley presents a situation where society is ignorant about the unfamiliar, different, and is also unwilling to accept and embrace the unusual.
