Since the beginning of civilizations there as always been social stratification or an arrangement in social classes. For instance, there would be the lower class, middle class and of course upper class. Then there is also social inequality. Based on documents from 1000 B.C.E through 465 B.C.E, I can analyze the causes of, and responses to, social inequality during the Classical Age, as well as explaining how one’s status within society influenced one’s perspective of events in that society. Some of the causes included, the extreme power to a single leader, and the desire for power, while some responses would be hatred towards the leader and hard work to stay alive, all depending on one’s perspective due to their status in a society.
By having America pay the debt off as a whole, Hamilton thought that it would bring the people and the government together. But Hamilton wanted to use ways that were so impartial to society. Many people were inclined to adore Jefferson because of Hamilton’s malicious deed. Besides this fact, the people were truly being neglected by the power of the government. The government, just like the wealthy and rich, was so power hungry that they disregarded the people’s kind acts and defaced them as if they were animals.

When he and his co-ruler died, “Tutankamun” became Pharaoh and the priesthood resumed control of their temples. The people happily revert back to their old comfortable traditions.

Constantine slowly created political structure within the “Christian Church” by including its hierarchy into the Roman State; by bringing the Bishops together organizing the “Council of
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
The Magna Carta Jason Turley HIS 276 August 23rd, 2012 Daniel Solarz The Magna Carta The Magna Carta became the first document to try and limit a king’s power and protect the people and give them rights. One question, however, why would a king who was the ruler of his own country agree to the demands of his own subjects whom were supposed to be under is authority. The Magna Carta demonstrated that a king’s power could be limited by a written grant.

An example of him being too power hungry was his desire to be Rome’s dictator for life. This shows he wanted to be the only one in control and wanted all the power to himself and didn’t want to share it with any individual. Another example is how he wanted to be like Alexandar the Great and conquer countries and have lots of power. In essence, this means his idol was a man of great power and a man who was famous for conquering countries and land. An idol like this means Caesar did not have good thoughts, and all he wanted was power and wanted people to bow down to him.
Divinity In the epic of Gilgamesh divinity is defined by the presence of the gods and their actions in the epic. In the beginning of the epic it is clear that is a man who is self-centered and is focused on what is in the best interest of him and his place in the universe.

Disconcerting- to make (someone) upset or embarrassed. In “More than enough criminals” (108-110), asserts that America view itself as being different in a way that gives people all over the world a chance to come and live out their dreams at the same time enjoying the freedom to do as they please. The problem that is at hand for us is with all of the correctional institutions being built in America which internationally embarrass us and to top it off, places us at the bottom of the social ladder. Why?. There are more people in the United States than in any other state/region/nation incarcerated at the rate of 2.4 million.
