Immigration

Now days in American there are many people complaining about not there being any jobs around for them to support them and their families.  But it is the opposite of what is happening now days, there are plenty of jobs out there for many Americans to take.  The problem is that many of these Americans do not want to do these jobs because of the fact that they want more money for these jobs.  But the immigrants will do the same work, may do it even better but they will also do it for less money too. So the fact that Americans won't to take the jobs because of the pay is their own fault.


There are plenty of aliens that take these jobs, which isnt a bad thing for the employers. But this arises a problem for when citizen of the US trying taking these jobs for more money but the employers only hire aliens because the fact that they will do the same work for less money and less benefits. So this causes a problem for the US workers finding jobs in the labor part of the work force in the US. But this is only our own fault for being greedy with the work/ pay for a job.

The book "Animal Farm" is all based on psychology and sociology connection such as conflict theory and functionalist theory. The connection such as how they have the pig leader Napoleon as Joseph Stalin who slowly takes over the animal farm and does so with raising little suspicion amongst the animals.  Napoleon with the help of other fellow pigs, Mr. Frederickson (Adolf Hitler), and the dogs of which he raised from the beginning of the story which he used to over throw the competition that Snowball had against Napoleon. While many of the animals had doubts and suspicion of the pigs and dogs of the farm no one dared to go against leaders of the farm of fearing of what may happen.  This type of government system shows similar characteristics of dictatorship or communism coming into power.

The way the pigs advanced their way to the top of the government system by telling the animals of the farm that they were smart and would handle all of the situations that dealt with brain power.  From the beginning of when the pigs established the animal farm the neglected to keep their promises to the animals of the farm. First they slowly changed many of the seven commandments that they started out with, so that they would bend in the favor of the pigs and dogs.  But this is not how Old Major wanted the new system of control to work; Old Major wanted the new system to gain independence for all animals alike.  But the power and green became too much for the animals in charge and they soon began to abuse their power and mistreat all of the animals below them.  Such has when they promised plenty to eat for animals and easier work days. They soon turned around on the animals and actually cut down food rations and increased the work load that the animals had to do.

Napoleon and his cabinet of other pigs and dogs had ways of making the animals work harder and more with a purpose.  Such as when the windmill had been destroyed the pigs convinced the animals of the farm that Snowball had come back to seek revenge on the farm, when really it was only the storm the night before.  But this is just another way of how the pigs used their position of power to manipulate the animals of the farm to work in the favor of the pigs.

 Towards the end of the book you could start to tell that the animals of the farm had like rights/ independence that Old Major had mentioned at the beginning of the book.  But just the opposite; the animals received less food, harder work, and less independence than ever.  This only prove to show that the power of the animals was in the pigs hands, by the end of the book pigs were disobeying all of the previous seven commandments that had original been proposed before all of the amendments that occurred to them. In the end the pigs were walking on two feet, had the sheep chanting in the farm "four legs good two legs better", had established a great working relationship with the local farmers, and the animals could not tell the difference the humans and the pigs playing cards in the house formerly owned by Mr. Jones.

The class system was simply humans and animals, but by the end of the book there was animals in the social class with humans. The performances by the animals who served the pigs and dogs deserved the reward, while the pigs and dogs deserved nothing because they had destroyed the animal’s already terrible lives. But in the end the pigs were rewarded for manipulating the animals of Mr. Jones's farm. By the end of the book the "Animal Farm" never reached a healthy balance between powers. All the book showed was how power can only be tolerated for so long before another power comes along to over throw it, but makes same mistakes and creating a greed hungry government all over again. The cycle will never end until people get rid of all greed that they have for power.

Poverty in the United States

Things that can be done to help fight the poverty are hard work and good work ethics.  I believe that any person can better themselves with these two traits to help themselves to get above the poverty line.

The function of the social class structure is to show who has more power and who is better off.  Conflicts that are naturally caused when you have social class structures, is that people who have more than other tend to believe that they are better than the ones they are above.  The symbols that we tend to associate with social class structure are that if you have little to no assets that you are poor and do not have much power.  But vice versa if you tend to have huge sum of assets and wealth people tend to look at you as a person who has a lot of power and class.  To change the social class structure it would take that we change the coming generation of kids differently on how to treat people below or above them.  Because right now it would almost be impossible to change people who have lived most of their lives this way of looking at people differently because of the class.

Things that my family and I have in our lives that helps shows what class we belong to would have to be our vehicles, clothing, and personal affects that we have throughout our household.  I believe that the things we own does determine what class we belong to because that all the class system is composed of, people who have more or less than others.  The vehicle I have is a 2002 Silverado 1500, it isn't he nicest vehicle around but nor is it the worst.  The reason why I have this vehicle is because it was something practical that my mom thought for me to drive.

 Generally in high school social class actually causes students to separate one another in to different groups and not to socialize with other groups.  High school prepares you for somewhat of how your life might play out, because the fact is that it is very hard to change a social class, so you tend to be stuck in that class for a majority of your live.  If you come from a poor family it is almost most likely you will either not graduate high school or not succeed on past high school for further education.  The affects from moving up or down a class will affect your live dramatically because of the simple fact you either will have less income and have to make budget cuts or you will have some new found money that you have never had before.  The tougher way of the two changes to one’s income would have to be from rich to poor because you will have to make dramatic changes in how you spend your money on and what the difference between wants and needs are.  It may cause some bumps throughout ones relationship just because of the fact that you are from two different social classes and maybe brought up differently to act towards one another.

 In the fact that Tammy and her children had dreams such as becoming a elementary teacher, lawyer, and architect.  But these dreams would become difficult, nearly impossible for them since the drive for success was just not there and there are stuck in the lower level of poverty.  The chances that the son of becoming successful are very slim because of the simple fact that it is very difficult to move up classes when you start off so low.

The reasoning behind why a member of the armed forces of United States gets paid less than someone who participates in professional sports is because of the way the money falls.  I mean by that in the area of entertainment there is a lot of money to be made will in the military there is no main income generated from it.  Thus the reason why soldiers get paid less the those who are in professional sports.
