2. For each social group, list the way it used power or suffered powerlessness. The upper and ruling class used power to make them superior to theses who they thought were beneath them, who were the middle class but note specifically the poor. They made they poor and middle class pay taxes to them which in turn made the upper class wealthy. The poor suffered powerlessness because they were poor, therefore they were placed at the bottom of the social ladder.
People just do this because of their insecurity, fear, jealousy, hate, or because of a crime of any size they have committed. Though the possibilities of reasons are almost endless, it depends on the situation and the people that do shun.

Marie Antoinette was an Austrian princess who married to King Louis XVI in 1774 during the times of the Great Fear and Reign of Terror in France.

My opinion of the movie “The Mack” is that it sheds a negative light on young black women and men. It clearly gave the impression that all women are hoes and black men can’t live the good life without pimping or selling crack. Young urban minorities watch television and movies and they see the glitz and glamour think it’s cool and want the fame. Goldie who considered himself to be a “hero” but in reality he was toxic, he was a villain, he was a murder, a drug dealer and a pimp.

The Lords believed it was their duty to restrain governments from making sweeping changes the electorate had not voted on. A final less important reason was that the Lords believed that it was the fault of the poor that they were destitute in the first place.
Jay Gatsby sells alcohol illegally to acquire his fortune, which is cheating in an attempt to become an impressive and recognized man. “I picked him for a bootlegger the first time I saw him and I wasn’t far wrong.” This shows that his attempt at sly cheating was still recognized, and at some point he was bound to be caught. Gatsby's house is an empty and artificial place, because it was originally built to impress Daisy with his so-called wealth, and this is a sign of a corrupt way of 'winning' love through money, he buys expensive things and entertains large groups of society because of his incommunicable desire for something greater. “Sometimes they came and went without having met Gatsby at all.” This quote shows Gatsby’s carelessness for people other than Daisy, and for the parties themselves. Jay’s final way of cheating to attain his ambition is more literal, in which he tempts Daisy into having an affair with him, showing his disregard for her marriage and for societal acceptability.
This led to millions of albums beings sold because people began to feed into the hype and joined in on the war. Their carelessness led to multiple people being killed including 2pac and Biggie. They clearly did not care about the message they were sending to the world and to the youth but rather how much money they could make, even at the expense of others.

Moonshine was a common type of alcohol that people could get hold of easily, and was made using homemade stills. However this turned out to be very dangerous and even poisonous. 5000 people died from drinking moonshine every year. Other alcohol was smuggled in from other places such as Mexico or Canada. Another effect of prohibition was a great surge in Gangsters, who uses the illegality of alcohol to their advantage by selling massive amounts of it.

He knew what it was like to struggle with everyday life without a job and no place to sleep in. He blamed wealthy people. In his opinion, they've caused misery of many people, because of their egoistic ways and greediness. He blamed landlords for rising rent to an abnormal wage, causing many people to lose their houses, because they couldn't afford it. He thought that rich people were the makers of poor people's
Stratification is a division of a society’s resources that benefits some people and harms others. Social position reflects the way society divides resources. Unequal rewards only serve to divide society, creating “haves” and “have-nots.” There is widespread opposition to social inequality. Using a structural-functional approach to look at the demise of the middle class would point out that the middle class is sliding backwards due to a lack of personal talent and ability. Since
