The only thing I have is that most of the time for my classes when I have an online assignment I write down the questions on paper since I cant see the professor right away just in case I have a question about the assignment answers. I Typed the questions and answer since my hand writing is not the best. I attach the questions with the answers for final just to verify that I got them all wrong. Thats what IT suggested to verify with You. I was counting on the final to get a a better grade since I scored super low on the other exams as well. I read and try to memorize key words. I'm just confused of how I got A "0" I had a feeling that a paper exam had been better but I guess I asked too late because I email you and you had left the school. Changing gears sorry to bother you with this. I mention to you that my sister was going to get marry over summer and that I was looking to a premarital counseling . Well I haven't found someone in Tulsa that is a license premarital counselor that speaks Spanish since I don't want to get in between my sister business by translating.

    Diversity is part of the American lifestyle. America is a country built on capitalistic principles, where a countries’ economy is controlled by a small number of people. People who tend to have power in the society tend to separate themselves from the rest. Looking back at different time period of American history diversity has shaped up the lives we live as Americans, whether it is because of gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, socioeconomic background, and capabilities/ disabilities, there is always diversity in society. Although, diversity is increasingly being viewed positively, and as much as people are proud of their differences. There will always be a way for human beings to diversify themselves into groups in which share similar interests.

    711 Words  | 2 Pages

  • Social Class Dbq

    1256 Words  | 3 Pages

    Vitality in England during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was not strictly determined by food, clean water, or a good paying job, but rather by the all-encompassing idea of social class. Being in a highly regarded social class provided better access to life’s necessities and frills. A business owner could afford more bread and appliances than a factory worker could, and an official in Parliament would most likely have more maids and land than a business owner. However, transitioning to a higher class was not the only way to improve someone’s social status. If the social class, as an entity, developed more of an influence, that class’ prestige could greatly increase, resulting in a greater reverence for all of its members. With this

  • Social Class

    Social class has existed in our society since its foundation. Working class, middle class, upper middle class, or upper class, whatever your standing, social class can affect your place in society. Social class can be defined by where you live, who you talk to, where you get an education, even by the clothes you wear. These may not be definite determinants of social class, but categorization of people becomes easier when looking at these factors. In previous papers, I have claimed that social class is a result of capitalism. Though, I still believe this to be true, there are many factors that can affect social class and vice versa. Theorists have looked at different aspects of how these can affect social class. In my paper I am going to explore capitalism, stratification, racism, segregation, and education and their relationship with social class and how this can cause social conflict; I will have a primary focus of how Weber, DuBois, and Marx views this relationship.

    Sociology is something I didn’t know about until I took this class. This class introduced sociology to me. I learned about how society basically made boys supposed to like blue and girls supposed to like pink. Sociology is “the systematic or scientific study of human society and social behavior, from large-scale institutions and mass culture to small groups and individual interactions” (Ferris and stein 2014: p9). Sociology is not something you just learn when you are just born. You learn about sociology throughout your life. Sociology is displayed around things such as being around different environments, friends, and family. Education is a sociology idea that can examine a person’s class and schooling. The higher the education you have,

    The first time I took it I had rushed through it. Therefore, I did not pass the writing, math, and reading sections that I needed by ten points. My second try was more successful but not quite fully. I took all of the sections once again and was nervous that I would fail since I kept thinking back to the first time I took those sections. The results lifted up my mood. I had passed the math and reading sections. Unfortunately, I had gotten a four on my writing once again. I needed a five in order to pass the section. I decided to give it one more try before I gave up. I studied harder than I had with the other sections since I had difficulties with writing. The following week I showed up to only take the writing section. I was overwhelmed with stress and sleep deprivation, but I wanted to get into MSA. Therefore, I stayed there and gave it a third try. I was asked to write about Mongols. To my advantage, my world history class was going over Asia. When I finished the section, I held my breath until I submitted the test. I did not dare to look at my grade on the computer screen until I saw it on paper. When the supervisor handed me the paper, a smile spread across my

    Before I read the chapter on social class, I thought social class was a category about people who are put into class by how much money they make; you are either poor or rich. However, there is much more regarding social class than I had originally thought. Social class it separated into a four tier criteria. Beginning at the bottom is the “lower class”, or “underclass” which is referred to by poverty, homeless, and unemployment.

  • Web Based Learning Essay

    2941 Words  | 6 Pages

    Students must have reliable access to a computer with a decent modem speed so that connecting to the Internet can be quick and without time restrictions. On occasion it is likely that students will encounter some technical problems, such as slow modem speed, slow bandwidth, or network jam that may need to be allowed for in order to use the web-based tool (Nguyen et al., 2005). In addition to this, automated grading is impersonal as the teacher cannot get familiar with the style of student thinking and layout as he or she would with traditional paper-based work. Discomfort with technology or technological difficulties can hamper learning. Programming and syntax errors can throw students who may have the correct methodology or layout but because of a misplaced decimal an incorrect answer is shown (Nguyen & Kulm, 2008).
