Green’s gambling activities do not qualify as a trade or business, can he deduct his gambling-related travel and lodging expenses against his gambling winnings? Applicable Case Law, Code & Regulations Per Section 165(d) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), a taxpayer may deduct their gambling losses to the extent of their gambling winnings. However, Section 262 of the IRC indicates, “…no deduction shall be allowed for personal, living, or family expenses.” In ruling on Stanley B. and Rose M. Whitten v. Commission of Internal Revenue, the US Tax Court has stipulated that travel and lodging expenses are not considered losses and therefore cannot be used as a deduction. Conclusion Given the current tax regulations and case law, travel and lodging expenses associated to Dr. Green’s gambling activities cannot be categorized as a loss. The Tax Court clearly established in Stanley B. and Rose M. Whitten v. Commission of Internal Revenue the difference between gambling losses and travel and lodging expenses in the closing of the judgment wherein they stated there is no need, “…to eliminate the distinction between wagering losses, i.e., the amount of wagers or bets lost on wagering transactions, and expenses related thereto, e.g., expenses for transportation, meals, and lodging incurred to engage in wagering transactions… Unlike a wager or bet, petitioner incurred the expenses in question in exchange for specific goods and services, such as transportation,
Furthermore, this would lead to a lot of people expecting more from relationships after getting divorced, as they wouldn't want to fall victim to what cause their last marriage to end again. This is part of the high expectations people now expect from relationships. Young people may have experienced divorce or bad relationships in their life, so they do not want to fall into it themselves, making them wary of marriage. Sue Sharpe's study in the early 1970s showed that young girl's main concerns were 'love, marriage, husbands, children, jobs' in that order. When she then returned in the 90s she found that the list had flipped, with jobs and careers being in first place.
Whereas the wife’s role was called expressive, this is when the wife is expected to look after the house and to raise the children emotionally and cook. However with increasing numbers of married women working in paid employment sociologists have looked more carefully at the division of labour and weather the increasing numbers of women working has caused the renegotiation of the traditional domestic roles. Whether a family live in a symmetrical family or not will have an effect on the divisions of labour. Theorists such as Young and Willmott argue that family life is gradually improving for all its members, becoming more equal and democratic. For example, women now go out to work and become wage earners, just as men now help with housework and childcare.
A woman’s typical day differed based on her social standing. If she was rich, her family would employ servants so she would not have to perform as much of the cleaning and grunt work. Her children would be sent to school, husband to work, and once the expected duties were done a wife might have some leisure time. Acceptable activities were needlework, sewing, and other practical crafts She might also read the bible or books and magazines deemed appropriate for
Here she makes a substantial amount of money considering her background. She chooses to stay because she makes enough money to pay rent, feed her children, and send them to private school. She could not even imagine such a life if she were to waitress or be a servant. Kelly finds that, even in an effort to eradicate force into the profession via anti-pimping laws, some women still found themselves working against their will-- either forced by their partners or deceived into thinking that they are taking up another job. For example, Magda was promised work as a waitress, but ended up serving at a
Alice's parents tell her who she is permitted to see. They also instruct her how to dress, and of course how not to. It is through experiences such as Alice's younger sister falling off the bed, under her watch, that Alice's parents have a crucial influence on her self-discovery. Specifically, Alice's relatives influence her self-discovery journey by not being supportive. As Alice had to grow up basically looking after her self and her younger siblings she learned that even if you do not have support you still need to follow your dreams and live you life.

Moreover the importance of profits to any business is that they need money to pay rents, insuranceand wages if the business makes no profit and more loss they may lose the shop because they cannot pay the rent.
As the mother of two daughters I always want for my daughters what I feel was lacking in my life. It makes sense to me that Nanny’s idea of success and freedom is being wealthy and idle. That was what was literally beaten into Nanny.

While I understand that this may not be the ideal way to handle a situation, I believe that Nanny did the best she could considering her experiences.
