CLASSIFICATION/DIVISION ESSAY

Having a roommate can be an unpleasant experience. Everybody is conditioned differently and has their own way of running a household. Having to learn everyone's disposition can be a challenge within itself because one can be different than one is used to. For me I have found it quite difficult to live with other people because they tend to not want to pick up after themselves, they have no regard for your feelings, and they could care less about your personal belongings. I have categorized the roommates that I have lived with into three categories: the dirty, the disrespectful, and the hazardous.
The first type of person I encountered was by far the dirtiest I had ever lived with. She would not take out any trash, if it were not for me it would have been piled up all over the floor. Because she would never do the dishes, I had to do them. One day I had come home from work and noticed this awful, foul smell. To my surprise, I found out that it was her cat. It had been playing around a dead cow for quite some time. I thought she would have given it a bath, but to my consternation she let it sleep with her that night. I could not handle that, so the next morning I got up and scrubbed it really good.
The second type of person I have lived with was very disrespectful. Elin would come in around 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. This would have been fine if it was not for the fact that I had to get up early to go to work. Also, she had given her boyfriend a key to the house, so he and his friends would come over regardless if anyone was home or not. One day I was looking for something of mine, so I asked Elin where it was at. She told me that someone was over and walked out with it. Not only did they leave with my item they had ate some of my food.
The third type of roommate I had was very hazardous. This certain person smoked like a freight train. The only problem with her smoking was she fell asleep while doing it. There were countless

    A Class Divided was an experiment conducted by a third-grade teacher named Jane Elliot. When Martin Luther King Jr was shot, one day later Jane Elliot knew teaching her third-grade class that discrimination was wrong, wasn’t such an easy task but a difficult challenge since their parents raised them to believe discrimination of the blacks was the right thing to do. According to the video uploaded by Jshapplet, Jane Elliot stated on the first day of the experiment that: It just might be interesting to judge people today by the color of their eyes, blue eyed people should be on top the first day here, I mean the blue-eyed people are the better people in this room (Jshapplet). Mrs. Elliot leads the children to believe that those who has blue eyes…

    During the process of this exercise in Garbology, I chose to collect garbage from my neighbor’s private home. I personally do not know them very well, but we are friendly enough that they were willing and happy to provide their trash and recycling as part of the experiment. I chose to separate the items between trash and recycling, and then created subcategories within those headings. The table below is a list of the categories and the items I chose as anthropological examples of their lifestyle, social class, and preoccupations.…

    My grandma not wanting him to live alone decided that she was going to move in with him because he lived in a very big house all by himself. He has an HVAC business and all he drives are vans and big pick-up trucks. His pick-up truck is a 6 wheel machine that wants to be a full size moving truck when he grows up. To get in it you have to put a step ladder or be at least 6 feet tall. If you take a short ride you will become impregnated by the diesel fumes of his engine, driving that truck can only make me think of the pick-up truck commercials where big muscular men drive these huge trucks as if they were actually driving tanks. When you see a truck pass by you, the last person you would expect to be driving it would be an 83 year old woman. This is what happened the first Sunday that I was in town visiting my uncle; everyone got dressed up with the best Sunday outfit, and of course my grandma looked like she was going to an Easter photoshoot. I was expecting to go out and get a taxi to go to church but instead we came out and found my grandma with the truck running tell us to hurry up because we had to go to church. We never figured out how she got in by herself because we had to help each other get…
