These are my nails. They are bape and supreme which are two form of designer. My nails represent how African American find name brand and designer as such an important thing. It’s suppose to represent how the more designer you own, the more money and power you have. African Americans take more pride in how they look and how they are perceived. Some people sell drugs to her own some type of designer to look like they have a higher status.

In the article "Our National Obsession with Toddlers and Tiaras," it explains how society likes to normalize children’s interaction during beauty pageants as well as how the children are expected to conform to society's expectations about pageants.

There is a television program that captivates the actions and attitudes of the lower class and middle class children that socialize differently is called, "The French Prince of Bel-Air." This is a perfect example because that main character, Will Smith, moved in with his upper class family after living and growing  up into a lower class of West Philadelphia. There were multiple episodes in which Uncle Phil constantly made comments and mocked  the conditions in which Will grew up in. Will transitions from his old lower class living to the upper class living and learn to conform to his new environment while still keeping in touch with where he originally came from.

The conflict theory is where society is in conflict amongst each other because they are competition for the same resources that may be limited. This theoretical theory came from the German philosopher and sociologist Karl Marx. He believed that society is constructed of different social classes that are in competition for the same resources. This theory also demonstrates those to benefit from this conflict. There are several organizations and those that are apart of the richer class believe the benefit of society being in competition is achieving a social structure that is not equally beneficial for them to maintain power.

The premise of this theory is that the different classes and groups in society refuse to expand on their resources thus created these resources to become limited in society cause competition and conflict. This theory illustrate how society does not care about equally but instead would rather gain and have access to the resources they want. Those who do not want an equal social structure are those who are in an organization or those who are in a higher position in society abuse their power to maintain their positions. This theory is also embedded in today’s society where the rich and the government benefit from these resources being unequally distributed and would rather keep these resources instead of giving it to those individuals in society who are poor and less fortunate.

The problem in society that the conflict theory directly emphasizes on is those are apart of the wealthier class. Those individuals do what they find necessary to keep them in power and to gain more in the process. Consequently, for those who are less fortunate or apart the lower classes of society have to struggle to maintain stability. This conflict amongst the higher and lower class will continue until each class comes to a consensus to equally distribute resources instead of only benefiting those who can afford them.
