<description><![CDATA[Ever since I graduated from college with a Bachelors degree in sociology, I have formulated some theories of my own about current American society. My main hypothesis: most individuals in current American society have been driven insane from all the rules and expectations that are placed upon individuals. Women in particular have faced intense pressure trying to live up to the tired, white male patriarchal standard of beauty that has been in vogue for centuries. In order to be considered beautiful, a woman must be preferably white, young, tall, blond, blue-eyed, thin and large breasted. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When writing history, an individual's perceptions is his or her reality.  For some historians, writing a distorted view of past current events is commonplace and the viewpoint of those individuals whose history is being discussed is rarely given. Joseph Brant happened to be one of the few and the lucky, an individual who was able to give a viewpoint of European and American civilization during the 1700s from the position of being Native American.  This article will discuss Mr. Brant's opinion about European and American civilization and the advise he gives to the dominant culture for a better life.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In the article entitled "The Uses of Poverty: The Poor Pay All," sociologist Herbert J. Gans discusses the strange alliance between the poor and the wealthy in American society. He states that the underprivileged in essence have kept several vocations in existence such as social work, criminology, and journalism. These vocations serve the double pretense of aiding the less fortunate and protecting society from these same individuals. He compares his analogy with that of Richard K. Merton, who applied the functional analysis theology to explain the prolonged existence of the political machine in urban areas.]]></description>
