Do classical approaches to class remain relevant to contemporary societies? Your answer should refer to the work of Marx and/or Weber. ‘The word class has been used to describe broad and diffuse groupings within a national population that are seen as forming a set of layers or strata in a hierarchy, as in the terms ‘upper’, ‘middle’ and ‘lower’ class’. (Crompton and Scott, 2000, pg.1) Class has been a key subject in sociological debate. Recently however the debate has shifted from the classical questions that Marx and Weber were asking over a century ago- How is class defined?

Soviet wanted United States to adopt their declaration on human rights. United States rejected their request after much debate. Yet once again the soviet sent another request by changing the amendment’s wording. Her purpose was to establish the declaration of human right. Paragraph 3: “The first two paragraphs of the amendment to article 3 deal with the question of minorities, which committee 3 decided required further study, and has recommended, in a separate resolution, their reference to the Economic and Social Council and the Human Rights Commission.” She uses polysendeton by using “and”.
Though only fifty years ago, the post WWII ear held an immensely different set of rights and freedoms for indigenous people. From settlement to 1950, Aboriginals were considered little more than “part of the landscape.” Indeed, paternalistic attitudes through the Policy of Protection ensured that they were not counted in the Australian census, instead considered fauna. These attitudes and the rights and freedoms corresponding to them have been altered by the gradual policy changes between WWII and the present era. In 1950, the policy of Assimilation was introduced- the first step away from the restrictive policy of protection. Assimilation was completely culturally insensitive- in fact, the purpose of assimilation was to eradicate and Aboriginal culture or language through a forced induction
Latrell A. Phillips History of Education: EDU 324 Assimilation/Acculturation of Native Americans Instructor: Jennifer Allen February 18, 2012 Assimilation is very similar to acculturation. Assimilation is basically when one culture (minority) take on the dominant traits of another culture (larger group). Characteristics such as language, customs, ethnicity and self-identity is loss when assimilation. Acculturation is the exchange of cultural features that results when groups come into continuous firsthand contact; the original cultural patterns of either or both groups may be altered, but the groups remain distinct.

The New System The welfare "reform" of the Clinton era consists of two major elements: a revolutionary change in the basic goals set by the federal government; and a dramatic "devolution" of responsibility – turning what used to be a federal, centralized system over to the states. Reflecting the new federal mission, welfare rules now: Require most recipients to work within two years of receiving assistance, Limit most assistance to five years total, and Let states establish "family caps" to deny additional benefits to mothers for children born while the mothers are already on public assistance.
The 15th Amendment has been used to protect the voting rights of minorities from being diluted either explicitly or through more circuitous means (U.S. History.Org, 1995-2011). Second, the 14th Amendment has been used to incorporate the Bill of Rights, making it apply to the states as well as to the federal government. Until the early 1900s, the Bill of Rights did not apply to state governments. Over time, the Supreme Court has used the 14th Amendment to require states to abide by the Bill of Rights as well (U.S. History.Org, 1995-2011). In conclusion, this paper discussed how and why the amendments became apart of the constitution, what problems motivated the adoption of the Bill of Rights, the effects of the Bill of Rights, what problems or changes in society led to later amendments, discuss the 13th through 15th amendments, and the
In the passage from Staying Put: Making a Home in a Restless World, Scott Russell Sanders responds to an essay by Salman Rushdie, a writer who left his native India for England. Rushdie describes the “effect of mass migrations” as being “the creation of radically new types of human being: people who root themselves in ideas rather than places.” In his response, Sanders appeals to both pathos and logos, but interestingly not ethos. However his only appeal to ethos is the fact that, like Rushdie, he is a fellow writer and is in position to respond to Rushdie’s essay. On the other hand, assuming he never immigrated to anywhere, by not being an immigrant is he in position to respond to Rushdie’s essay like this? His essay is argumentative, he disagrees with Rushdie that
