The main idea is that the dust is getting stronger and impacting more. First of all, The dust is killing all the crops. So now Billie Joe and her family are getting not enough crops and the amount they do bring in does not get the amount of money they need to live. Also, Billie Joe got a job with Arley. That shows that Billie Joe’s family is really struggling and that they need the cash to move along with the dust. Lastly, all the banks were closing. That shows that people really need the money and can't afford to live on their own anymore. The dust is getting worse and harsher, so Billie Joe's family needs to be on their toes to keep up with the dust.

Boyz N the Hood, directed by John Singleton is one in many films to showcase the harsh reality of African Americans living in the “hood”. Hood films, as characterized by an identifiable urban setting, such as New York or Los Angeles, and within a modern time frame, use themes of hip hop culture to highlight the issues that plague urban minority communities (Massood 145). Singleton, with Boyz N the Hood, offers a commentary on the harsh experience of young, urban black males by demonstrating the issues faced by these young men, namely lack of upward mobility and cyclical and internal violence. One of the main issues highlighted in the film that plague the communities of young, urban black men is a lack of upward mobility. Social theory has

The gangs have formed part of Central America. For a long time, but in the early 1980s they began to work. There are numerous reasons for the gangs to grow because of the lack of education, culture of violence, poverty, and dysfunctional families. The two largest gangs are the Mara Salvatrucha known as MS-13 or Maras and The Eighteen Street gang also known as Barrio 18. The Barrio 18 despises MS 13. The rise of the Maras happened with the migration and the blend of different street cultures. The gang known as Barrio 18 was originally formed by Mexicans immigrants. Over the years, each gang has grown and taken up 60 percent of the population. These gangs have taken over the territories and have also controlled over some prisons

Tyler Perry is an actor, a music composer, writer, and a director etc., who has been able to change many lives through his film. Most of his film focus on the lives of African American families, dealing mostly with marriage, dating, divorce, retirements, broken family, relationships, parenting, and life changing actions, gospel songs base on the word of God that can convert one from his or her evil doing. Some of the films are real life issues that happened on occasions like Christmas, thanksgiving, birthday celebrations, funerals, jail house, weddings, schools, churches, etc. As a result of this, he has faced a lot of criticism from the African American on the way he has been portraying their image and exhibiting their secrets of their lives, but the another side of it is the truth that he is sharing to help the up and coming ones on how to handle life in terms of the aforementioned scenes he has been building into other lives.

Censoring Sherman Alexie’s book “The Absolutely True Story of a Part Time Indian” may not be detrimental to the author, and it may even be an appropriate act. It is the job of our schools and educators to open young minds to new ideas, while taking care to protect the innocence of the child. Doing this successfully may be a difficult undertaking for our educators as we are asking them to draw a fine line between childhood innocence and the awareness of worldly things. In the handling of this book I believe the censors have done their job.

In A Beautiful Mind, Nash is often depicted as eccentric or not quite there. The beginning of the movie aimed to convince the audience that Nash was ordinary, but when things became clear that Nash had schizophrenia, the directors depicted Nash to fit the stereotype. The harrowing moment for Nash became plot driven and showed suggestions that schizophrenics are inherently violent individuals. What was originally presented as something pure and a hopeful situation for Nash’s recovery was twisted to include a breakdown that harmed the family. The movie furthers cultural stigma by showing that the wife of Nash was afraid of her own husband. Although these events may have taken place, the dramatic nature of the scene and how the movie revolves

“Into the Wild” is a movie that is based off the book with the same title. It follows the story of Alex Supertramp as he tries to get to the Alaskan wilderness to live a secluded life away from society. Alex’s family thought that he was going to law school, but in fact he was making his way around the united states living the life that he craved. Throughout his adventure he met many different people along the way, as well as working different jobs. Alex’s goal was to get away from mainstream society because he thought that it was very materialistic.

    When people think about World War II, they normally associate it with Hitler, genocide, the Great Depression, the Cold War, and other negative things; however, there were some positive impacts it had on the United States. Economically, the United States and other countries around the world were devastated by the crashing of the stock market. Unemployment rate was at a high point, Hitler was gaining control of Europe, and we were trying to remain isolationists. Once we intervened in the war, we were pulled out of the depression by the increase of jobs, the women’s rights movement began and established legal equality, the baby boom and suburban boom began, and the United States went from

Good evening everyone, I have decided to do answer the question regarding behavior and presentation of people. Humans have the option to adjust their negative behavior or positive behavior regardless of the situation that he or she is in. Here is an example that I have retrieved from Anthony Giovacchini regarding to poverty and prejudice. The nature of gangster rap influenced society in a negative fashion, yet there was nothing that could legally be done to stop this. Today, gangster rap still tends to send negative messages to its listeners, but there are individualized efforts taking place that will help the problem (Giovacchini). While searching within the site, there was findings on how there is hate towards the police showing racism

As I’m sure you know, military recruitment in high schools has been a hot topic ever since the No Child Left Behind Act passed in 2001. According to the NCLB, all high schools that receive government funding must “provide military recruiters the same access to secondary school students as is provided generally to post secondary educational institutions or to prospective employers of those students” (No Child Left Behind Act of 2001). And unfortunately, any school that refuses this puts their funding in jeopardy. Yet many still strongly disagree with this mandate and want it revoked, begging the question: Is there a way to regulate this type of recruitment without eliminating it completely? Moms and Dads, I’m writing this letter because we need

How would you describe your inner mind? crazy? genius? They say that both are two sides of the same side. Through my experiences, I shape the world around me, developing a unique perspective from my worldview. When it comes to how I perceive reality I just summarize it in these six concepts: culture, meaning, self, self-fulfilling prophecy, and scripts, and self-serving bias. My culture defines me down to my very genetic core. It explains why I drive the way I do, how I talk, what is socially acceptable, why I react to things the way I do , why I attend LIU, etc.

The media are mainly in the business of story-telling and are more likely to represent the story in a negative way. They enjoy provoking violence between the youth by dramatizing the stories and making it look like an alarming issue. Using an interesting headline will attract the reader, by making the problem or the story a lot more dramatic will increase the news value. This has a great influence power on society, government and policy makers. However, these behaviours are not fair to the individuals being made the main topic.
