In order to feel a sense of belonging, an individual must gain stability in relationships and connections within a community. The inability to create stable connections or relationships will inevitably result in alienation. Throughout the poem “Migrant Hostel” by Peter Skryznecki, the focus is on the uncertain and chaotic environment that all the migrants are experiencing while waiting for the news that they are able to begin their new lives. Along with, how the natural instinct of finding similar cultural groups helps the migrants have a sense of belonging. “No one kept count of all the comings and goings” this shows the migrants feeling of uncertainty and temporariness as their inability to keep track of what was unfolding around them made them worries and also confused .
The second case, which is titled the surprised roommates, is centered on two ladies called Sues Taylor and Sue Knowles. They are devoted friends from high school and are joining the same university. It shows how their roommate Lisa surprised them. First the two roommates are astonished after realizing that they had been given a third person to share the room with whom they were not expecting. Secondary they were shocked by Lisa’s behavior of being so cold, when she failed to greet them when she first entered the room.
Barbara will now be unemployed until she secures a job elsewhere, and with almost her entire earnings at Wal-‐Mart invested into her barely livable hotel room, she really has no extra money to get her by with living essentials until she is employed again. Leaving Wal-‐Mart seemed like a viable option to her because she had extra money saved away because she is not actually living on minimum wage. At the end of the day, Barbara has enough money to keep herself fed, clothed, and under a roof. Her friend, Melissa, on the other had, has very little money saved up and may not actually be able to sustain normal living conditions while in-‐between jobs. In conclusion, I applaud Ehrenreich for taking a stance against Wal-‐Mart and deciding to leave her job there.
In the late nineteenth century living conditions in the slums of urban cities, like New York, were reprehensible. For years these conditions went unnoticed and unchanged by the majority of the US not because of people’s lack of caring but simply because of their ignorance towards the situation. Photojournalist and social reformer Jacob Riis set out to change that with his book “How the Other Half Lives”. In his book, he illustrated the living conditions of the poor people in that resided in the slums of New York City to the general public through pictures and descriptions. Professor Oliver Wendell Holmes described the camera as being “The Mirror With a Memory”.

Sadly it is a very rough urban area to attract visitors and even locals. I work at a convention hotel in downtown area not too far from Underground Atlanta and I have never nor would ever send guests to Underground Atlanta, but this is a bias opinion. I lived right next

If you look around, it is difficult to find a group in which not a single person is using their phone at that moment nor has it on their person. Technology consumes our everyday lives and we feel lost without it. Sherry Turkle, a professor of sociology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, sees these as symptoms of a technological addiction that our society is slowly succumbing to, causing us to retreat into the technological abyss of isolation. In her TED Talk, she presents her view with the intent of convincing her audience that this problem needs to be solved immediately. Turkle uses personal anecdotes, inclusive language, and confusion through paradox to create a relationship with the audience that induces emotions of fear and longing for connection.
