That hero is Atticus, who fights for racial justice. Atticus seems like a sort of “Superman” in the county of Maycomb, as he does many things that other people don’t want to do or can’t do. For instance he is the one who has to take care of a mad dog who is loose on the streets, and he guns it down in one shot. People call Atticus names because he is not racist, and his daughter Scout retaliates against them. “Atticus had promised me he would wear me out if he ever heard of me fighting any more.” (99) Scout thinks.

Astonishingly, for most of our history, America’s nickname for Pit Bulls used to be “The Nanny Dog” (Lockport 2011). For many generations, if you had children and wanted to keep them safe you required a pit bull. The Pit Bull was thought of as the most reliable of any breed with children and adults.

this arrogance by Birling is shown through his lack of care for his family and his priories are climbing the social ladder and stopping a public scandal. At the start of the play the inspector question Mr Birling on the death, Birling quickly responds violently and says “you weren’t asked to come here and talk to me about responsibility”, in the house Birling is advert and he is used to people respecting him and him talking down to other people, this way is challenged when the inspector arrives, and because Birling is arrogant and feels that because he was “lord mayor just two years ago” he is above the lower class and the working class(the inspector).

In a city-state or home where security was the main concern, fitness and toughness were absolutely what education should have been about. In addition to being tough, the Spartan education also taught the people in the society to be resourceful and sly.

The excuse, “A guy’s gotta eat,” repeatedly appears throughout the novel in various forms and is often used to avoid the complicated questions that ethics and morals present when one carries out negative acts for the benefit of himself or his family.

It shows how racial prejudice can lead to fighting within the family and emotional distress or degrading effects. The quote also illustrates how racial prejudice oppresses people into staying in their current social status.
My initial reaction to reading this excerpt from Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” was one of awe, with a hand over my mouth for the better part of the reading. There is also a side of me that is not so surprised by any of it. The more I learn of our country’s history where government and business are concerned, the more I realize that the almighty dollar, greed, the pursuit of power, and a total disregard for average Americans and their welfare seems to be the order of operations.

In addition, the defensive strategy withdrew the citizenship behind the city's walls with the intention of relying upon maritime trade for foodstuffs to outlast Sparta's armies in the field. Unfortunately for many displaced aristocratic farmers, this policy allowed the destruction of their family holdings and livelihood. Thus Pericles' Funeral Oration did not merely praise the noble dead but also served to contrast the political and social systems of Athens and Sparta.
