It is these questions that audience is left questioning about life after the inspector has left the stage. Social status is a highly sought after concept in this modern day world, a good job, wealth and family are transformed into the image of a perfect life. However many people forget that this achievement and position comes with responsibility and you should never forget that every one is human and no matter there wealth or race you have to treat them fairly with respect. This is a harsh reality the Biriling should have realized before they led a girl to her suicide. Each person in the family had abused their position in society and somehow used it to corrupt this young girls mind into making her feel worthless and depressed.
The protesters are merely discontent or refusals to accept the status quo of social and economic inequality, joblessness, and homelessness issues to name a few. The protesters feel the job is of the occupiers to form a strong path as much as to be a human barrier to the indifference that allows corporations to gain over the country, the world and people’s lives. Occupy Wall Street speaks protest for utilitarian action plan for a system to work. Wealth is the god, political offices can be bought, and Government is hounding the people, there is nothing gained but a stay of execution for the middle class. There has been a class system struggle, but revolutionary form of class has penetrated from the wealthy for decades OWS has refused to let it die, and accept the oppression, shrinking incomes, loss of jobs from a dying job market, the lack of access of homes sales due to the corporate bottom line.
Throughout the novel we see examples of characters knowing their place and acting accordingly, however we also see examples of the opposite which leads us to question what kind of society Austen was, in fact, trying to depict through the novel 'Pride and Prejudice'. During the years in which the novel is set (1796-1797) there was a severe class divide that affected the lives of everybody in England. We see this prominently in 'Pride and Prejudice' as it is central to the plot. These class divisions were rooted in family connections and wealth and were very difficult to change, unless you married into wealth or inherited it. As a result of this, social mobility was limited at this time and people socialised in small circles, with only those of a similar class.

He provides both facts as well as assumptions about why things have occurred within this large generation of people. His main sources of evidence include: personal assumptions, generalizations, facts, statistics, percentages, and prior life knowledge. He backs up his own assumptions with statistics by stating such things as “85% of hiring managers and human-resource executives said they feel that millennial have a stronger sense of entitlement than older workers.” He continues on to bring evidence to the idea that people within the millennial generation have a lack of loyalty to a company by stating “about 44% would renege on a job acceptance commitment if a better one came along.” Also, “about two thirds of the millennials said they would likely ‘surf’ from one job to the next.” Although a lot of his assumptions about the millennial generations are hard to argue, the real reliability within this article is within the statistics and quotations. Although he does make strong points with his own observations and understanding of the multiple generations his real reliability resides outside of himself. His use of quotes from other well known sources help back up his arguments in his most persuasive way.
Explain why there was protest against the political system in the period 1815-1822. Many people felt that the Government existed soely to appease the wealthily ruling class and nobody else. They therefore felt that it was time for a change; the administration should work to improve the lives of the vunerable in society rather than protect the interests of a small few. This was spurred on by the conditions that the working class had to endure while working in the new industries created by the industrial revolution. So, faced with the policies of Lord Liverpool’s Government, many people felt they were being treated unjustly.
“An inspector calls” J.B Priestley’s play ‘’an inspector calls’’ leaves the impression on the audience, no matter what their political views are, that everyone should take responsibility for their own actions. The play was set in 1912 and it leaves a cliff-hanger for the audience as they make their own opinion on who is responsible for ‘Eva smiths’ death as the phone rings, announcing an inspector is on his way!. J.B Priestley crafts a character with selfishness and self centered emotions through the character ‘Mr Birling’. The audience first see this in act one when he says,” a man has to make his own way” but when ‘Eva Smith’ asked for the wage rates to be raised to ‘twenty-five shillings’ a week he refused: ’ I refused of-course’. I think this was wrong of him because Mr Birling has made it in life and had it easy, he does not have to earn a living of a low wage so he doesn’t know what it is like for poor people.
The government or the church should not fool them, and manipulate them as salves. Hank points out that all of the taxes comes from these poor independent workers, neither the church nor the bishops pays slightly of it. Every single man of the family must work gratis for the lord and bishop, and no one ever denies this. Why? How come no one ever has the urge to stand up for them, to claim for what they deserve?
Everyone is a part of 'one body', the Inspector sees society as more important than individual interests. The views he is propounding are again like those of Priestley who wanted his socialist views put across to the audience. He adds a warning about what could happen op if, like some members of the family, we ignore our responsibility: 'and I tell you that the time will soon come when, if men will not learn that lesson,when the will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish.' Probably he is thinking partly about the world war which they had just lived through, the result of the governments blindly pursuing 'national interest' at all cost. No doubt he was thinking too about the Russian revolution in which poor workers and peasants took over the state and exacted a bloody revenge against the aristocrats who had treated them so
Seeing Ourselves, Chapter One – Critical Thinking Questions (Page 5) 1. Why do people in the United States tend to think of the operation of society in personal terms? My belief is that it is more of an everyman for himself scenario. The social ties one has is mostly with their families and people they have known for a long time. With the fast pace of our current society and cutbacks from all sources, it is always a thing of by the time our wages come in, it goes out and leaves us very limited time to meet people.
