1877-1900: Urban Immigrant And Growing Middle Class
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The existence of the urban immigrant of 1877-1900 was not particularly well-received by the growing middle class. The gulf that existed between the two groups was primarily born from a sense of ethnic privilege that had been established early on. It can be argued that this rift that developed, which defined the self-imposed status, proved to be a serious threat to the overall social fabric. For nearly as long as man has existed, social intolerance has been driving a wedge between groups of people whose ambition is the same: to better their existence through upward social movement. This attitude has been carried down through the centuries, despite much effort on all sides to abolish such prejudicial practices. The writer discusses that although slavery had all but been wiped out, there still existed deep-seated resentment toward certain social classes for all the unnecessary suffering minorities had been forced to endure throughout history.

Study of a Local Park
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which examines the many facets of a local park
in Southern California. The park, or more accurately, the campground, is named NIRA
and it is located in the Santa Ynez mountains in the Los Padres National Forest, which lies
just outside Santa Barbara, California. This park is predominantly used by day hikers and
backpackers. It is a region filled with incredible views of the mountains and valleys, and
also an area that offers silence and seclusion. It is a prime example of all that is good in a
park as it is well kept and the visitors are genuinely concerned with keeping the area as
natural as possible.
