I feel that Connell has a good point in his comment. We see in both in history and our own times, even in a high school setting, the idea of strong v. weak. In the past empires and imperialistic nations have conquered smaller, weaker, nations because they could and it was in their power to do so. In high school we see the strong, or even, more outgoing students showing dominance within the school, and the weaker, and possibly shyer, stepping down and letting the strong lead. Alexander the Great, or Alexander of Macedonia, led his army to control almost the entire known world at his time. Life is lived by the strongest and those who can’t, sadly, keep up with them, fall behind and are usually controlled or influenced by the stronger. So yes, Connell was right when he said this, and I belief history and society show his statement to be quite true.
