Why around 40 percent of people in the country are under nourished even though there is enough food in the country?

For the same reason that neither you nor I owns a Porsche, even though

there are enough of them to go around.

There is no place that I know of where either Porsches or food are being

given away for free, just come pick it up and take it away.

That doesn't even address the problem of people who think that giving their

kid a Big Mac, a bag of fries, and a 20-ounce slurpee three times a day will

keep her well nourished.

What functions do status roles primary groups and secondary groups play in social interactions between different racial and ethnic groups?

Primary groups are groups that are small characterized by intimate face-to-face association and cooperation. Secondary groups are formal impersonal where there is little social intimacy or mutual understanding. The exception is when a primary group becomes so large and impersonal they no longer can be considered a primary group (Schaefer, Pg 110).

As these classifications refer to status roles of race or different ethnic groups, careful considerations must be made. Our country clearly has defined status of groups, and individuals of different races and ethnic backgrounds. Over time, the defined and generally viewed status of many groups has changed.

For example, African Americans status was once defined as slaves. Over time notably after the civil war they were given "their freedom" and no longer were defined or held the status of slaves. As time marched on, they were given the right to vote along with women I might add, their social status one again was defined and viewed differently. Today African Americans social status is equal to whites and all other different ethnic groups.

Another example that comes to mind is the Japanese. During World War II, their social status was defined and recognized as the enemy. They were placed into camps so their activities could be closely monitored even though many of them had never been to Japan and were American born citizens. Today they are defined as educated, good business people honorable and trustworthy.

The moral of the story is as time passes the world changes not always that quickly. Stereotypes still exist and social status is still affected as defined by general beliefs and views for different races and ethnic groups. To prove this theory, today Muslims are viewed and defined generally as terrorist. Undoubtedly they are all not terrorist and have the same disgust as most American regarding terrorist. Yet like the Japanese, they have been socially defined and labeled. This too over time will change.

What is the main reason some colonial children became apprentices and others worked on family farms?

In the 1700's there was two basic forms of work. 90% of the people were farmers and the rest were in business, on ships, building ships, tradesmen, worked in a factory, or professional like a lawyer. Many colonial children took over the family farm because they were raised to do that and the oldest son inherited the farm/plantation. This meant the younger brothers had to learn a trade or go into business. This is when a apprenticeship was sought. Ben Franklins father put him in an apprenticeship at 7 years old with a candlemaker, but t didn't work out. Washington was an apprentice to a surveyor. Some children learned and took over the family business and on ships there were boys as young as 10-12 years old who were ships boys or powder monkeys on war ships. They carried the gun powder to the cannons on the upper deck from the below deck. Lots of them died. The life of a colonial child was very different than today. In the colonies there was no " teens". They were babies and by the time they were 13 they were considered adults. So, they didn't go to school as long as we do and went to work sooner.
