They are very intelligent and display that they are closely related to humans by their tool making and use, cooperate and learn from each other, and learn in various forms of expression and communication. Today there are around 300 thousand chimpanzees in the wild and 2,000 captive in the United States; out of those 2000, 850 are in laboratories, 600 in sanctuaries and 250 in private hands.

    > The sociological perspective is described as seeing the general in the particular. In this essay I will attempt to apply the sociological perspective to analyze song lyrics from the first verse of the song My Block by Tupac Shakur (see appendix for lyrics). Tupac (1971-1996) is the most famous gangster rap artist of all times. He was well known for his lyrics and their ability to express the grief of the Black community. He was an advocate for Black rights and very much against the societal system and class societies. Many say he exaggerated the conditions under which the Black community and the lower class were in because he was a wealthy man rapping about suppression. To other’s he was part of the petite-bourgeoisie, but he was consistent in attempting to better the conditions under which the lower class were in.…
