When this approach failed, many Reformers began to create organizations and go to the government to expose how the factories were really operating. As the government found out about the situation, factory owners increased workers’ pay, shortened the workday and provided a clean working environment. Furthermore, the owners stopped using child labor so they would not be shut down. At the turn of the century, many reformers and government officials believed that alcohol was the cause of many of the nation’s problems; specifically rape, murder and divorce. They thought that alcohol should be illegal.

Wills’ claims that the federal government's chief law enforcement official might need a refresher course on federal law pertaining to legal immigrants. Some American legislators have taken up the position that prohibiting bilingual ballots would be racist. However, evidence shows that millions of other American citizens feel that prohibiting the bilingual ballot is a step in the right direction. Wills’ begins his article with a political anecdote quoted by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. When he was asked whether he would favor the prohibition of the bilingual ballot, he simply stated, “Of course not.” Wills’ continues in the next section stating that our national identity and our federal laws are being weakened by immigration that is influenced by these bilingual ballots.

In correlation with this new American dream, I will be discussing if working at Wal-Mart can allow one to reach King’s idea. In an essay titled, “Up Against Wal-Mart,” Karen Olsson discusses the mistreatment and unfairness of the multi-billion dollar corporation towards its employees. She uses many first hand accounts of employees who are very quick to say they have been mistreated. I am arguing in this essay that the Wal-Mart Olsson discusses negatively impacts the ability for workers to reach this newly reformed “American Dream” that King brings to our attention. Although many others believe the American Dream has ceased to exist, King feels that “The ideals and values of the American Dream are still very much alive… I would redefine the American Dream today as the potential to work for an honest, secure way of life and save for the future”(King 572-3).

An example of a current event or issue where the multiple levels of government interact on a solution would be The Patient Protection and Affordable Act Care which hereinafter will be referred to as ObamaCare. The government worked against each other on this issue in many ways. One way is that the house of republicans shut down the Government by refusing to pass the budget unless it contained measures to defund and repeal aspects of the Affordable Care Act. Also opponents of the law say that ObamaCare is an unpopular program that hurts Americans. The same was said about Medicare when it was implemented.
Enron is the “poster child for bad corporate behavior” (Steinauer & Casison, 2002). Enron’s over-the-top antics were put in motion to motivate the employees when all it did was help bring the company down. Lack of Leadership Sherron Watkins will forever be known as the whistle blower at Enron. Too bad her warnings were never heeded. She testified before Congress that she tried to warn Chief Executive Officer Ken Lay about the accounting practices.
Discussing this issue in depth, we’ll see that statistically, people cave in when pressured to conform to the majority (Asch, 1951;1955). Apathy 3 Are We Too Apathetic to Fight Apathy? Eleanor Roosevelt said it best: “So much attention is paid to the aggressive sins, such as violence and cruelty and greed with all their tragic effects, that too little attention is paid to the passive sins, such as apathy and laziness, which in the long run can have a more devastating effect.” When asked to list some of the most devastating social problems of today’s America, people top their lists with issues like racism, suicide, divorce, violence, and illegal immigration. All of these are indeed very valid and pressing social issues, but what if I pose this question to you: what is at the very root of all of these problems? Where do these issues stem from?
