1. An Unspoken Cycle That Determines The Success
When talking about inequality, it should be mentioned that there is an unspoken cycle that
determines the "success" of the average individual. The cycle goes as follows: education in most
cases directly affects the type of job you have. The type of job you have affects your wealth, which
in turn affects your ability to buy a house (mortgage or not) in a "quality" area. The quality of the
area, then affects the type of education you get. This is a cycle that while was once racist, now
unintentionally constrains people to the same socioeconomic class as the one they were born into. It
just so happens that due to the previous intentions, many African–Americans are trapped in a low
socioeconomic class and are unable to advance. In fact, America today according to a few large
studies, is less mobile (moving up in socioeconomic class) than other comparable nations. One study
for example found that around 42% of American men who were brought up in the bottom fifth of
American incomes, stayed there throughout their lives. This same study found that only around 8%
of American men gained access to the top fifth from the bottom, a number lower than others like the
Danes or the British ("Harder for Americans to Rise From Lower Rungs"). Unfortunately, minorities
in America are at the largest disadvantage economically due to this cycle. From the very beginning
of this cycle, specifically African–Americans were legally forced to be separated from the rest of
America because of the Jim

3. Personal Narrative: When People Walk On The Right Sidewalk
When people walk on the sidewalk, there are a group of people walking one way on the right side,
and another group of people waking the other way on the left side. It is considered obnoxious or
rude to walk against the flow of people on either side because you disrupt the current of people, and
are much more likely to walk into the oncoming people. I decided to walk on the "wrong" side of
the sidewalk on Saturday while walking to the football game. At first, there were not that many
people, so it went unnoticed. But as I got closer and closer to the stadium, the more people began to

5. John Ruskin's Unspoken Words
Unspoken words are harmless until they are spoken. One can think anything that he/she that comes
into their mind; however, no one will ever know what they are thinking. It is impossible to read
minds; therefore, no one can judge anyone based on what they know, their thoughts, and what they
believe. In fact, this is stated in John Ruskin's quote: "What we think, or what we know, or what we
believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do." This quote
primarily means that one cannot get into trouble unless they take action to access them into a
situation. Moreover, John Ruskin's statement is correct. This precision is demonstrated in numerous
political/economical based pieces of literature, and further displayed by the ... Show more content

Implicit words are innocuous. One can think of anything that comes to their mind, and they cannot
be judged for it because no one knows what that thought is. Accordingly, thoughts, good or bad, are
harmless. A thought being innocuous is shown in George Orwell's novel, 1984. In this text, a
government attempts to take over the minds of its citizens. This happens if they are known to
believe in the wrong things. "Wrong beliefs" include believing in "Big Brother" as the nation's
leader. Furthermore, Winston, the main character, was "down with" the so called "Big Brother,"
however, he never stated his wrong beliefs (until revealed at the end). Because his thoughts were not
spoken of, the government did not find out that he wanted "Big Brother" to rule. In effect, Winston
was not punished for his beliefs, considering no one knew and could judge him on it. Not getting
punishment shows that there is no consequence in keeping your thoughts in, while the consequences
can be extreme, getting brainwashed, if you act on it. Similarly, within Barbara Ehrenreich's Serving

7. Till Debt Do Us Part By Mary Loftus Summary
A Ferrari at the office and a Kia in the garage, what would the writer say? He says it's a company
car, but in reality, he owns it. He led about his income to his wife, he boasted it was $120,000, when
in reality it was $400,000. Where was the additional $280,000? A secret life of cars and bank
accounts. There was also Donald, the farmer who had obtained a $35,000 loan to replant his crops.
Without his knowledge his wife Susann, with an internet gambling addiction, lost it all. Both
examples are of deceit; one of hidden money, while the other attempts to hides her addiction.
Sometimes a little deception may seem harmless, but in–reality it will destroy any and all
relationships between friends and partners. Someone may think, "that won't happen to me, I'm good
with money" or "my husband is so trusting about his income", but what about your partner or your

In "Silence", author Billy Collins uses a motif of silence, a dark and serious tone, and an
enjambment in order to reveal that the tension of unspoken words often lead to the disruption in
peace. To begin, throughout the poem, a motif of silence recurs an overwhelming amount of times:
The silence when I hold you to my chest, The silence of the window above us, And the silence when
you rise and turn away. And there is a silence of this morning Which I have broken with my pen,
(12–16) By repeatedly using this motif, it deepens readers understanding of the tension of unspoken
words. A peaceful tone remains as the narrator lies in bed and the breaking of silence takes place
while tension increases as the character rises and turns away. Although ... Show more content on

As the narrator wakes up in the silence of the morning, a peaceful tone arises yet again until broken
by the build up of unsaid words. The author uses the word "broken" specifically to demonstrate the
destruction and disruption. In addition to this, the usage of words the author puts into the poem
portrays a dark and serious tone. "And there is a silence of this morning / Which I have broken with
my pen, / A silence that had piled up all night" (14–16). In order to reveal the tension of the overall
silence, a serious and dark tone become a necessity. Readers experience the negative effects of
silence on life. By using words like "broken" and "piled" it seems as if the unspoken words cause
more destruction than wanted. Also, the lack of humor throughout the poem portrays that the
scenarios described provoke readers to think, making the examples given come off more dark than
anything. The peace at times becomes disrupted because of the involvement of such a dark and
serious tone in order to emphasize clearly that the tension of these words built up over time, and left
a more troublesome situation. The author also uses structural elements such as an enjambment. "The

Getting more equality for working women
Although people always said everyone is equal, women still suffer bad treatment or discrimination
at work. In Chinese traditional thinking, men had to work outside, and women should take care of
the kid and do housework at home. I firmly believe some people still accept this and some man want
women only work at home. This idea is not only present in China. As time has transpired, women
have more freedom to choose to work at home or outside; however, women are still subjected to an
unequal treatment of men. Though our labor law is claiming to protect all workers, women are still
under the bus. Despite some progress in work areas, women still experience "a glass ceiling" and
sexual harassment due to gender inequality. Therefore, it is imperative to set up more workshops to
support women to get more equality at work.
From the 1960 Women 's liberation movement, women get more respect and freedom in society. The
world of American women was limited in almost every respect, from family life to the workplace.
Also, only 38 percent of American women who worked in 1960 were primarily restricted to jobs as
teacher, nurse, or secretary. The feminist movement of the 1960s and '70s initially focused on
dismantling workplace inequality, such as denial of access to better jobs and salary inequity, via

By looking at these movements and the music that was associated with them, we can see that the
music created a strong individuality and freedom among those involved, therefore enabling them to
be able to express their goals more effectively. (Kitwana) Music also gave African Americans an
escape from the mundane lifestyle they were leading, a lifestyle in which they were looked down
upon for being black. Their role has always been one of invisibility in the eyes of the governing
body and society as a whole. Through music, they created a reality in which it was admirable to be
black. Suddenly there were greater opportunities available that made way for African Americans to
be admired instead of being ostracized, and a chance to have the power to create the change they
wanted to see. In Alice Echoll's, Hot Stuff, disco is shown as a key instrument used by oppressed
groups to find their freedom in a society that didn't accept them. African Americans, gays and
women were repressed and through disco and the movements associated with it, they managed to

The African American portrayal in white–American entertainment, especially in films has produced
malicious and ignorant beliefs of the everyday Black person. Entertainment venues such as minstrel
shows and silent films are causes to today's stereotypical views of African Americans. The African
American community along with other American ethnic cultures had enough; therefore, between
1915 and 1950, the race film genre began its movement to increase positive cultural awareness to
the world. This paper will examine three key elements (Keywords, Unspoken Cues, and Threads)

source of important material highlighting the African American culture. The genre not only focused
on culture, but also emphasized African American talent, Black's ability to film, produce, and direct
a motion picture, and most importantly, the genre exposed the world to the "real" African American
individual and family. Although many of these films were only shown and marketed to "colored
only" theaters, films like Harlem of Prairie (1937) and The Blood of Jesus (1941) are notable films
that struck a core with both White and Black Americans. These are a few of the forgotten race films

As stated earlier knowing the local market is important. Mr. Gaffney was quoted saying "If the local
issues can't be solved we won't do business there." Since shareholder's approval is important he said,
"If we can't meet shareholder expectations we won't get involved". The reason Mr. Gaffney learned
that communication is important was not only due to involvement with coworkers but with the
language barriers as well. When deciding to enter a new land unspoken language won't make
business very profitable in the new land. This reasoning is when he believed that having skilled local
workers is key when working in a foreign country. You need that individuals that can understand the
rules and regulations of the host country as well as adopt the methods of the business entering the
foreign country. An example that he used was how South America doesn't have a market in trains. If
they were to inter that market they would send teams to work with the locals to develop new
technology that would benefit the region and bring about profit. South America might not have

A Desire Unspoken "Women should be seen, not heard." A phrase not unfamiliar to most, at some
point in her life all girls have heard something along the lines of this. A phrase that dictates that a
woman's worth lies in her appearance and outer beauty and not in her mind. A phrase that praises the
traits of obedience and submission and shames those who speak their minds. Throughout history
women's lives have always been used in the service of others. Being a quite daughter who listens to
her father, being a silent wife who obeys her husband. Never complaining, never wanting anything
for themselves, just selfless, serving, and silent. A girl grows up learning not to strive for her own
happiness, but to make others happy. A woman must be self–sacrificing and put the wants and needs
of her family before her own desires. This idea that a woman must sacrifice her own happiness for
others is apparent in our own society and in our media. Time and time again women are used as
tragic martyrs to further the character development of men. Look at this years popular film Baby
Driver by Edgar Wright. The love interest Deborah is given no complexities or personality of her
own. She only exists in relation to the main character and is there to make him happy and feel good.

The boys' father paid no mind to what the plaster and mortar had to offer each morning. He just
knew he had a job to do.
Another small gesture of nonverbal affection came that morning when the boy discovered his father
had polished his good shoes: besides warming the house, the father "polished my good shoes as
well." (12). The motivation behind it must have been to give the boy the satisfaction of looking his
best on a winter Sunday morning.
The young boy who speaks of his past, turned grown man, gives reverence: "What did I know, what
did I know / of loves' austere and lonely offices?"(13–14). The boy at that moment realized what
was being taken for granted. It is hard to see the true meaning of sacrifice unless the one doing the
sacrificing is forthcoming in his reasons. The loved ones around us sometimes get swept up in the
fact that it is easier to receive than to give. The boy who now was a man, finally realized how much
his father genuinely did love and care for him and his family. It probably was not until the boy

Social media has become one of the largest tool in America. Social media can be used in different
ways from searching news articles or connecting with an old friend. Majority of social is used
among teenagers. Common sites for teenagers to gather are Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
People tend to think that social media, like facebook, unites teens to connect and be friends.
Although many teens connect to everyone they know on sites like Facebook, this does not mean that
they cross unspoken cultural boundaries. As Danah Boyd puts it, "Communities where race is
fraught maintain the same systems of segregation online and off" (306). Hundreds of students attend
a public high school everyday. When the bell rings, multiple students are passing each other in the
hallway. Immediately, students gather in groups or pairs with their friends. The white females gather
around the lockers as the white males approach them, the black male and females are gathered in a
different part of the hallway. Between these two groups is skin color; one is black and one is white.
In today's public high school, students tend to not think about racism, but end up creating an
unspoken cultural boundary. Just like a social boundary, where the popular kids do not talk to the
nerdy kids, an unspoken cultural boundary is the unspoken boundary where racism takes place. The

between organizational culture and employees' actual behaviors. Ginter et al. (2013) explains that an
organization creates mission, vision, and value statements to make clear, to project their image of

employees are in agreement with these elements, the organization can say this is their shared
assumptions. On the other hand, shared values represent employees' perceptions of how things
should be done, which may or may not, be in harmony with how the organization cares to portray
itself. Whether aligned or misaligned, it is nevertheless the actual behaviors that create
organizational culture. These behavioral patterns can stem from strategies that employees espouse as

Society and Domestic Violence: The Man, the Women, and the Unspoken Authority Over 12 million
men and women are abused by their partners yearly, and of that only about 3 in 10 women and 1 in
10 men report their abusers and seek help. The issue of domestic abuse is one that is tabooed
throughout the nation, much like the topic of sex and mental illness. However, unlike those topics,
the society in which we live in normalizes, and even pokes fun at the dilemma of domestic abuse.
Although some will argue that the fact that there are shelters, anti–abuse campaigns, and
improvements for victims in the justice system prove the society's understanding and action for the
victims, the society that we live in normalizes the issue because of the situations in television and
music, the lack of media coverage, and the leeway that athletes have when charged with domestic
assault. Domestic abuse can be traced back as far as history itself. In 753 B.C., during the reign of
Romulus in Rome, The Laws of Chastisement condoned the abuse on a wife by a husband. Since at
this time, men were held accountable for the crimes and actions of their wives, hence it provided a
way that the husband could be protected from harm of the wife's actions. This idea traveled
throughout the world. It was not until 1829 that the husband's absolute power of chastisement was
abolished, however this is far from ending the dilemma of domestic abuse. In the 1970's women

Allison was the protagonist in the book The Unspoken, she was a very bold, interesting character
but there was something about her that was different...she woke up from nightmares almost every
morning. Most of the dreams were labored and apprehensive and mostly directed at one person but,
sometimes there were multiple people or a different person every time.
Most of Allison's dreams were about her sister, Melanie (the reason for these dreams occurring
wasn't really mentioned). For instance, in the book it stated, she saw a picture of her sister lying in
bed black blood covering her throat like a scarf (Fahy 9) after doc Hillerman, Allisons doctor,
entered her residence. This daydream was one of the first that we see in the book The Unspoken.

At risk has an unspoken meaning. At risk is synonymous with at–risk–youth in Western Culture. At
risk is a phrase used in human services, the media, academia and government to identify young
people who are troubling or on the fringe of risky behavior. If you do a Google search of the phrase
at risk over 13 million images will appear most of which are of young people. Risk Discourse
creates a risk society in response to specific populations being on the fringe of what is deemed
"normal" within society. Risk discourse is a popular modernity term written at length by Modernist
such as Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens European Sociologists. A Risk Society was not even a
term until the 1980s. In the 1990s Risk Society became popular and it acceptance coincided with the
infiltration of Risk Discourse into sociology, politics, literature and academia. There is an ongoing
debate as to whether environmental concerns created a vacuum for a risk society or if it was a by–
product of immigration and the War on Drugs. Either way Risk Discourse and risk society language

unspoken rules that are not written rules. The understanding and following of these rules will allow
you to belong in most groups. Unspoken rules are what make a group who they are. The Crucible
and The Scarlet Letter both have perfect examples for the relationship between unspoken rules and
belonging. Also, these works take place in the 17th century around the same area. This creates
almost the same setting for both stories where the unspoken rules will be almost identical. The

It was just something you did not do if you wanted to belong. John Proctor, whose wife was falsely
accused of witchcraft, was not taken seriously due to the fact that he did not attend church services
very often, and he also worked on certain Sunday's. The fact that he had broken these unspoken
rules made it harder for people to believe he was of God and telling the truth about his wife. These
examples help show the relationship between unspoken rules leading to belonging. The disregard for
unspoken rules cost lives at this time in history. In The Scarlet Letter, an adulterer named Hester was
shunned by the church and society. This book also has the church as the main group. The main
unspoken rule dealt with was adultery. Hester's husband had sent her ahead to America. She had an
affair with a priest and this was just something that you did not do, and it was a logical unspoken
rule that was broken, and, therefore, she was unable to really belong in this town for a very long
time. The girl was so shunned, they put an "A" on her clothes. This was the epitome of humiliation.
At this time, no one would associate with a girl like Hester. There was never a feel of belonging
after that "A" was placed on her clothes. Hester's actual husband who disguised himself as Roger
Chillingworth to avoid the humiliation. Dimmesdale was the man she had an affair with, and he was

57. Review Of Michael Ignatieff's A Sense Of Belonging
A Sense of Belonging Arises
Based on 2004–Question 3
Michael Ignatieff, a Practice of Human Rights Professor, observed a key characteristic in how
humans relate and bond with one another: intuition shared within groups that helps set rules and
regulations, ultimately setting them apart. His observation calls into question the connection
between these unspoken rules, and the sense of belonging felt by group members. With his
observations in mind, it is natural to assume that unspoken rules and belonging coincide because
they define a group by giving them an image and general understanding of each other.
Often it is found that having common interests affects the people within, as well as the image of, a
certain group. When people think back ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Consider sitting in your high school with multiple different groups of people around. You hear
numerous conversations coming from every direction and laughter filling the halls, but you are left
standing in the hallway alone, feeling outcast, because you have no connection with those people.
Having desolate feelings comes in response to this situation, and overall, it takes away from that
sense of belonging. The unspoken rules present in these groups are responsible for the loss of
belonging. People that do not fit the requirements within the rules often find themselves feeling as
though they are outcasts in society. Individually, they will perceive themselves to be outsiders
without a belonging in the social order because their traits do not match the desired ones in society.
Additionally, the people in each specific group will begin to exclude the said outcasts because they
do not belong in the clique. As a result, social events and conversations become more exclusive to
those who fit the unspoken rules. This unfortunately can lead to bullying, for the exclusive people
will make the outsiders feel unwelcomed and criticized. One who does not "fit in" with others will
find themselves feeling insecure about their life and role in the community. Therefore, the unspoken

Davenport University The Unspoken Captivity: Retrospectives on Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is a method of modern day slavery which entails the illegal trade of persons for
sexual exploitation or forced labor. Each year thousands of men, women and children are victims of
this suppression. Countless countries including the United States are affected by trafficking.
Habitually, traffickers tend to prey on a perceived vulnerability, whether it is through a promise of
money, employment, or better opportunities not normally afforded to the victim. Ultimately, the
victims later find themselves trapped and manipulated and held against his or her will for the price
of profit or involuntary servitude. Several organizations and governments across the globe, have
implemented approaches to eradicate human trafficking. Unfortunately, the attempts to abolish this
crime against human rights seems impossible to stop due to the ever–growing demand.
Discovery
Human trafficking involves the selling of human beings for a profit through forced labor and the
illegal movement of people. From the National Institute of Justice (2012) cited "The United Nations

the single story. When there is only one side of a story, the other side is unspoken. Once the other
half is not made visible, it dehumanizes the people who are a part of the unspoken story. They

It generated a loss of identity for women and men. There are many instances in the book that support
this notion. This is especially seen when the narrator uses the game of checkers as a metaphor for
how the lives of the slaves were handled. Baby Suggs, one of the prominent characters in the novel,
lived an underprivileged life as many of the slaves. She was a slave woman whose son worked extra
hours to buy her out of slavery. The narrator says, "in all of Baby's life, as well as Sethe's own, men
and women were moved around like checkers. Anybody Baby Suggs knew, let alone loved, who
hadn't run off or been hanged, got rented out, loaned out, bought up, brought back, stored up,
mortgaged, won, stolen or seized" (Morrison 28). Checkers is a metaphor for these people who are
not seen as humans. These people were pieces used, moved, and checked off when not convenient.
This was a form of oppression. By dehumanizing and discriminating a group of people, you rob
them of dignity and deplete their identity to where they become "less than a chicken" (Morrison 86).

The cycle of being behind bars, is in part due to the concentration of violence within prison walls
which reinforces criminal activity. As Dr. Kathryn McCollister, states in her paper The Cost of
Crime to Society: New Crime–Specific Estimates for Policy and Program Evaluation. The cost of
housing, healthcare, and transportation of these inmates, cost the United States tax payers roughly
$194 billion in 2007 alone (McCollister). This money that is spent on taking care of and maintaining
inmates, could instead be used to better the environment which allows these inmates to be created.
Violence is no longer considered violence, it has become a source of entertainment. Former

for the narrative of a story. Violence is a proven tool for increasing sales and ratings. This is because
violence causes stress hormones to be released, creating a sense of excitement (Yenigun). A recent

The Irony in "Bariatric Surgery: The Unspoken Truth"
In Escudero's essay, "Bariatric Surgery: The Unspoken Truth," he explores the risks and benefits of
gastric bypass surgery. In this argumentative essay the author explains what the surgery is, what it
does and how the different lifestyles of the patients change drastically in order to support their new
body. Escudero mentions how before reaching a decision there should be research conducted in
order to determine whether the operation is right for the individual whose life is at risk. He begins
with a background check of what the surgery does and then incorporates positive and negative
feedback from the surgery. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Escudero's thesis states that "the benefits outweigh the complications" contradict what the rest of his
paper has to say. The depression, risk of seizures and sagging skin are some of the results he
mentions after the surgery has been completed which leads me to believe he is against it. He
emphasizes his interview with Mary Luz, an insightful perspective of a person who has gone
through the surgery and the many changes it brings to her life. Mary Luz's interview ends with
'Inside I will always be a fat person. I will think like a fat person and eat like a fat person.' These last
few words create a sense of doubt entering the reader's mind of undertaking the surgery in the first
place making it seem that the benefits really do not outweigh the complications mentioned earlier in
Escudero's opening paragraphs.
In addition, his appeal to logos, ethos, and pathos are scattered at best and do not mesh well
together. The information he gathered from his sources do encourage that he researched and studied
his topics well but incorporating unreliable sources from Wikipedia "...the number of surgeries
exceeded 120,000 in 2003 (Wikipedia 2)," and "the numbers have surely climbed since then. It is

A Call for Cultural Democracy Does anyone believe in hard work anymore, or the concept of
working to earn what you want? Cheating to me is taking the easy way out, and what satisfaction
will you receive from earning a degree that you didn't truly earn? The logic that today's prisoners
hold is how can we get out of prison faster, instead of doing their time and genuinely earning their
release. Can someone actually gain satisfaction in knowing that they did the bare minimum to earn
something that they supposedly desired? Firstly, prisoners possess a different state of mind because
they have all of these unspoken rules and laws that they have to go by, and in prison you always
have to watch your back. Prisoners believe in protecting each other, and they view the officers as
enemies. They believe in minding your own business, and if you tell on other inmates you will
probably end up with a target on your back. Many inmates have no sense of authority, and many
lack a moral compass. Daniel Graves stated that many inmates approached him and told him that "If

Is there an unwritten rule or acknowledgement between mankind in which we have agreed to a

rational and just man who usually battles his arguments with morals and logic speaks in his treatise

Claiming that it is acceptable to own more than one's labor can service as long as that perishable is
bartered for money (non–perishable). Like this, Locke realizes the unspoken contract between
mankind. Indeed one can have a disproportionate and unequal possession of the earth by agreeing to
use gold and silver. Since everyone agrees to use currency inequality becomes fair and just due to
the fact that a man's worth is determined by his labor. Locke believed that bartering for goods with
money was presumably prejudiced, and voluntary because both sides would have something to gain.
A famous saying "silence is consent" has also lead me to believe that throughout time some became
more entitled to more than others. With a vast quantity of land per capita some found themselves
acquiring more just because they could. Others allowed it therefore if it was accepted.
But many questions are still unanswered. If we can accumulate as much money without causing
others poverty are those who are poor entitled to my money? According to Locke's view if we did
not cause that persons poverty we are not responsible for their suffering. A catch 22 indeed though
we did not cause the persons suffering, it is the same that we did nothing to stop it. This is a question
of ethics John Locke overlooked. It is a question of ethic though helping a person who is in need can
be debatable, is helping a person who is condemned to death by hunger
