mark of rudeness to be out when they call. Neither can you be excused, except in case of sickness. (123) The amount of etiquette that must be learned by these women is astounding. The articles give the reader a real appreciation for the social faux pas that Edna is committing. Before reading this, I did not quite understand how far from the norm Edna is straying. After reading this excerpt, I fully realize why it is such a dire situation to Leonce when Edna went out on her reception day. The
path that is seemingly irrelevant to the mundanity of everyday life until that path is interrupted. To do so is considered a Social Violation of the Norm, or, put simply, a Norm Violation.

My Cultural Assumption of Tattoos in America In American culture, tattoos have become a popular part of expressing one’s style and their differences. However, do those individuals consider the changed perceptions that people may have on them based on their tattoos? In America, people who have tattoos tend to be affiliated with gangs, are criminals, open minded, don’t have a professional job, and are modern.

Companies must take it upon themselves to know their company and industry, determine the appropriate market entry strategy, select a target market, develop a business plan, and seek assistance to make the expansion process as smooth as possible.

Tocqueville's assertion that the phrase “gentleman” represents nothing less than the progression of egalitarian thought throughout Europe and America is one far less far-fetched than it would appear at first glance. To a modern reader, especially an American one, putting any sort of premium on the word seems somewhat odd, given its almost whimsical nature as a modifier to “men” largely used to add syllables to introductory speeches. However, it's trivial usage belies its true past as a rigidly enforced
received? Likewise, storytellers themselves take advantage of our own limited perspective, whether it be Holden Caulfield 's immaturity, or the contradictory explanations of the four characters in Rashomon. Munro is not guilty of any sort of literary faux pas by exploiting subjectivity, but rather illustrates it and its effects without condemning or praising it. We create versions of reality and people based on limited perceptions of them, the narrator or author is no guiltier than any of
