I am going to write about my died brother. My brother was age of nine when he died. His death hurt a lot of people. When he passed away, we did not travel to village in Nigeria that Christmas day. We stayed home to mourn him. He was everything to my mom. She loved him so much. He is the one that clean the house, help my mom in the kitchen and wash my dad’s car. My senior brother was jealous of him because he was my mom’s favorite. My senior brother always fights and argue with him. One day, they were arguing over my senior brother’s shoe. My senior brother accused him of stealing his shoe, he told him that he did not steal his shoes and that was what started the fight, so my mother ask our neighbor to take my brother that died to spent holiday with them, and they agreed and he followed our neighbor to their village. In the next two weeks, our neighbor came back from the village very early without my brother, we were worried and asked them about him. They told my parents that he is died, he was pushed inside the water by their maid, and he does not know how to swim, so he drowned. I hated their maid and every time I saw her, I wanted to do something bad to her, but I do not have the mind to do that. I was mad at my senior brother for fighting over a shoe. I did not speak to him for days. Everyone said that I looked like my died brother and act like him. I was three when my brother died and I do the thing he used to do, like cleaning the house, helping my mom to cook. Being my mom second favorite. Sometimes I wish I see him very well because I was only 3 years when he died and I did not know much about him like my sister and my senior brother did.

• Describe the person's significant upward or downward mobility over the past three or four generations.

I wish my brother is here to celebrate my coming birthday with me. He has not celebrated my 23 years of birthday with me. I want to see how he will look like now. Whether I look exactly like him like what people said. He past is generation to me because I do everything he does. How he talks and do his stuff. I promised to make my future bright, for him to be proud of his baby sister.

• How do you think the person's values and behavior might differ had the person experienced the opposite pattern of mobility?

My brother person’s values and behavior has not changed because if he is not died, he will continue with it. He is very humble and generous.

• How might experiences have been different had the person's family been of a different ethnic or racial origin?

My mother is acting different because of his died. My mother does not like to see river water, touch it or be close to it. She is afraid of water. She always said that this is what killed her baby. If somebody lost their child, she will come to the person parent’s home and sympathy with them, tell them her story. Please share whether social mobility is the exception or the rule. Please review the link below and answer what you think and why? Social mobility "the movement of individuals or groups from one level in a stratification system to another. This movement can be either upward or downward" (Kendall, 2018, pg. 192). Social mobility is an "exception of upward social mobility is deeply rooted in U.S. culture" (Macionis, 2019, pg. 264).
