Alien Commute

I think that it is a good thing they are willing to come over here and work the jobs most Americans wouldn't. They are willing to travel across the border and work for less then minimum wage. Most of them will spend three to four hours standing in line just so they can get a job for the day. Once in line they cannot leave or their spot will be taken. If they need to use the restroom the have to go where they stand. Women that stand in line are often touched and even raped. They go through all this for jobs such as picking lettuce and other foods. Many people may say they are against the Mexicans coming and working in the United States but they are the ones doing the jobs no one else will do. I think they should have safer trips through the tunnels that bring then to the US. With women getting raped there should be higher security and even better sanitation. Most of theses men and women are touching our food so the least we could do is make sure they have proper sanitation.  I also think they should be allowed to get visas that allow them to get another job once there current job is over.

Animal Farm

I believe that the bourgeoisie is the farmer in the beginning of the book. He was in control of all the animals and they had to do as he said. In the end of the book the bourgeoisie was the pigs. They acted like men and forced the animals to listen to everything they had told them to do. The proletariats were all of the animals who had to follow the orders of someone else. In the beginning it was all of the animals including the pigs, but in the end it was all of the animals besides the pigs. In the end of the book the pigs ended up winning the struggle for power. This all follows the conflict theory. There was conflict over who could have the power of the farm. Without the conflict no power would have been gained.
Someone needs to have a small amount of control over the rest of the people, that is one role that needs to be carried out. If someone has a little more power over the rest of the people they will be able to make a deciding vote if there is a tie. This also allows them to stop arguments and other disagreements that take place. The people that carried this out in the book were the pigs. If you risked your life for another you were rewarded. Animals that saved someone in a battle were rewarded a metal. I believe at the end of the book the animals were not at a healthy balance. The pigs abused there powers, controlled everything that happened, and started acting as humans do. Do to them all of the animals were miserable once again. Having the pigs control everything was just as bad as having the farmer control it all.

Fight Club

I believe that this could be a permanent fix for these kids. The club is teaching them to work hard for something that they want. By them working hard it is also teaching them responsibility, confidence, and maturity. In the workforce these things are very important, and can lead you to success. If in time it gets hard for them, they can look back on what they had accomplished in the club. They can us this as motivation to look for a job or create there own work so they can make an honest living. If things still don't workout for them, the hard work they put it will still not be for nothing. The gained maturity this is something that will help them throughout there lives. If someone can see that they are a mature man the will want to see what they can handle. All it takes is a little hard work and it could change there lives forever. The fight club offers everything that these kids need to succeed.

Social Classes

I believe that anyone can achieve there goals and dreams if they put there mind to. However after seeing this film I don't believe that Tammy and her family will achieve their goals. I think what holds them back is that they lack the motivation to succeed in following there dreams. I believe that there life chances are not very high because they are short on the funds they need to get there. Tammy's son dressed preppy to try and act like he is not in the lower class so he doesn't seem like he is in that class. I think that if he was really to set his mind to it he could leave the lower class and move up in his life. this is something that can happen with a little effort, finding a good job, and working hard at it. If he continues to follow his dreams he will have a good chance at succeeding in the American Dream.
I think that social classes in high school play a large role in were you are placed. even if someone is in the same social class but is not as high up in that class they are treated with less respect by the other students. Anyone can see who is lower in the social class just by the way they dress. Even in a small school like mine the people lower in the class aren't talked to much, or are left out of things other people do. If a person were to move down a class they would be treated with less respect as they are if they stayed the same. In a smaller setting like my school this probably wouldn't happen but in a large setting no one would think twice about it. On the other hand if someone moved up everyone would look at them like they were higher up no matter if it were a large or small setting. We don't just see this in a high school setting but it carries in to our adult lives also. If I were to put myself into a class I would say I would be in the middle class. I'd put myself there because I have more then what a lower class person would have but not near what an upper class person would have or there money.
 Social classes can be seen by what someone has. My family can be seen as a middle class family by a few different things. We have used cars, don't have an updated house. and anything were have we work hard for and if we want something we save up to get it. I think that if you are in a certain class it affects what you have and how much you have. If you are in an upper class you can just go and buy something if you want it, but if you are not upper class you don't have that kind of money so you either save so you can get it or you say "I don't need that" so you don't by it. This is not always true though. These days there are so many brand that are trying to compete with other brand to bring prices down. So if you cannot afford the name brand item you may be able to get the off brand item to fill that spot. This is how the classes can compete in a way so that they don't always feel like they are in a lower class.
