O’Neil was hand-selected by a woman senator, because she was pretty and feminine and didn’t look like a stereotypical lesbian. O’Neil eagerly accepted the invitation, not because she wanted to be a “poster child” for women’s rights, but because she simply wanted to get training experience like the men where she worked so she could advance at her job. Men that she went to school with, were promoted ahead of her, strictly because they had training experience that she was forbid to participate in because she was told, “there are no female bathrooms on our ships.” To get her experience O’Neil had to make it through the grueling training called “hell week” where more than half of the candidates drop out because they don’t have the mental and physical strength. Throughout her training, O’Neil continuously demands that she be held to the same level of standards as the male trainees, but is constantly held to lower

Latin America and Western Europe were extremely different regions from 1750 to 1914 in matters of rate of industrialization, literacy rate as well as womens roles. As two diverse regions, people valued different values, however, similarities are likely to find. In Western Europe women in upper class during the specific period of time (1750-1914) were likely to be educated in an all girls school , or by a private teacher. They were expected to be well-mannered and know how to play at least one musical instrument as a symbol of superiority. They were also anticipated to marry into a good family with money, most likely arranged ahead of time by the parents.
They did a lot of moving around, from having to live with relatives to living in government housing. Viola always dreamt of a better life not only for herself, but also for her mother and her siblings. She shared thoughts that if she were to ever be blessed financially, she was going to be a blessing to others (personal communication, May 6, 2009). Well, her opportunity to be a blessing came a few years after she married her husband who is a successful doctor. This has placed Viola in the upper middle class of society, where she no longer has to worry about finances, has both of her children in private schools, and has even purchased a home for her mother.
Della Mae Justice took in her niece and nephew who were in foster care. She didn't grow up to immediately become middle-class. What Justice did was work so hard to climb out of the working-class to become middle-class so that her niece and nephew could have more than what she was offered when she was their age. Aware of the financial situations, Justice is compared to others in the upper and working class, she struggles with the different cultures each has. Lewin quotes Justice when she says, "'My stomach's always in knots getting ready to go to a party, wondering if I'm wearing the right thing, if I'll know what to do..." (70) This happens because of the different cultures the middle-class, which Justice is now in, presents, compared to the lower class she used to be in.
His main focus should be appealing to the middle-class Americans since they take up a majority of the population and seem to have the most struggles out of all the classes. Obama has appealed to the lower class a great deal and has probably locked in most of their votes which is why it is so necessary to focus on the classes that he knows he can win. Overall, whoever can come up with a stronger economic plan to help recover our nation will end up winning. However, the emotions of the American people are where any candidate should want to win their people over because Americans will follow their heart and if their heart is telling them which president is going to make their lives the best possible then that’s the way they will
During the social season, it was the time when young women who had come of a certain age were presented to society and the hope was that by the end of the season the eligible maiden would have found a husband. After the industrial revolution, many upper middle-income class families were able to participate in the debutante season as the struggling aristocracy realized that they needed to make alliances with the money, wealth and power that the industrial class was coming to hold. Consequently, many industrialist families began participating in the debutante season when they were able to find a sponsor for their daughters. The Season began by presenting the young debutantes to the Court during which the young lady bowed to the Queen-thus the name the St. James Bow. After this ceremony there were parties thrown in honor of the debutantes with each family giving parties in the season until a match was made or the season
David Belfance Pd.2 11/7/12 Mrs. Stephens Desire of Money All through out history people have wanted to marry people who can provide for them. In the time of cavemen the women tried to marry the most prolific hunter so that she wouldn’t starve. The same is true in modern society except that hunting is replaced with the income that they have. For example, people are so attracted to celebrities because of how successful and wealthy they are, along with pro athletes. This concept is shown by Daisy, in the novel The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, who personifies this trait extraordinarily well.
In Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”, the subject of class is the background for the story. Specifically, Emily’s social class and the advantages this class membership allowed her to experience. Emily’s influence came from a history of financial abundance, giving her power by inheritance. Her father’s wealth gave him power during his lifetime, and this power and social significance continued with his daughter, until the day of her death. In The English Handbook, Whitla wrote; “At the level of political influence are the matters of status (including age and ethnicity), as well as power – how to gain it and to exercise it.
