When the great depression started the Wealthy dropped down to the middle class and the people in the middle class dropped down the economic ladder to the poor economic ladder. When the US first went into this depression Herbert Hoover didn’t care about the poor. Herbert cared about the wealthy and the middle class, but did not care about the poor because they were already poor in the Social ladder. When the election came FDR became president.
Following the Second World War there was an economic boom. Most of the money made from things like industry went to business men and upper class citizens who were able to buy shares and stocks. While many people like the rich got richer and the poor made a step up but life for the black Americans stayed the same to an extent. One reason and the most important reason that black Americans did not share in the economic boom was that they were particularly hit badly by the problems in the country as they had always done the least skilled jobs. They had jobs such as railroad track layers, brick layers, grave diggers; fruit, vegetable and cotton pickers, doormen, elevator operators.Almost 1 million black farm workers lost their jobs, many moved to the cities where they shared similar experiences with the immigrants; low paid jobs and poor housing conditions.In the northern states, decent jobs went to the white population and discrimination was just as common in the north as it was in the South and many black families lived in ghettoes in the cities in very poor conditions.

In the simplest terms, if the meal goes well it is to say ‘I like you’, if the meal does not go well it is to say ‘I do not like you’, and if the meal does not take place as originally planned, it is to say ‘ I hate you.’ In Earnest, however, these conventions are not met. A meal goes awry between two best friends, Algernon and Jack and with ironic reversal once again, a meal takes place successfully between two enemies, Gwendolen and Cecily, and takes place again between to fighting friends, Algernon and Jack. Wilde’s unconventional use of food adds to the subtle ironies of the play, which ultimately add to the obvious puns and wit that make Earnest one of the great satires of the nineteenth century. A meal that does not take place, as previously stated, suggests that the two parties have a great dislike for each other; however, this is not the case with Algernon Moncrieff and Jack Worthing. The first meal the audience sees opens the play.
He and his minority were forced into poverty and “less than sufficient” living conditions. Despite him achieving success, the discrimination he faced was great, and most minorities were not so lucky. Looking at a chart of Factors for downward mobility, the minorities had less opportunity and were also forced to pay more than the majority. Finally, both Tateh and Booker T. Washington had to live under poor living conditions and unequal treatment in their lives. To quote the Declaration of Independence “…all men are created equal, that they are
The price of goods was so high and was so worthless that it cost Southerners in some places several hundred Confederate dollars to buy a single loaf. As a result hunger and no nutrient became bad, in addition, much of the land from Tennessee to Georgia and up to South Carolina had been destroyed by General William Tecumseh Sherman’s troops on their March to the Sea. Many slaves in the South effectively freed themselves by refusing to work and flocking to Union lines in droves. The North meanwhile was in many ways better off in 1864 than it had been before the war, for the economy had experienced an enormous boom during the war years and had set the industrial machine into high gear. This industrial boom in the North, coupled with inability pf Richmond’s government to provide cohesive leadership, won the war for the Union.
Furthermore during this time Americans had a surplus of goods and services from which to choose, and the money with which to purchase them. However,the economic boom brought high inflation, which kept poorer citizens from saving any money, the lowest-paid workers in the country were the farm workers, with sales clerks and unskilled labourers .Happy, a sales clerk, Biff an aspiring farmworker , and Willy Loman a man with a dwindling sales career reflect the mental state of the American People of the time that battled to achieve Capitalist success i.e. acquiring material possessions as the basis of social approval. Willy loman in particular was effected by the Capitalist ideal , he believed that being "well liked" and a great salesman would make him a man worth remembering . But at the age of sixty- three and nearing retirement, Willy is seen as a man who gave all of his life to a business, "I'm tired to death" only to be thrown in the scrap-heap and as a house holder whose pattern of life was interwoven with instalment plans with which he could hardly catch up.
People in the camps had poor diet, what they usually received were gruel, cornbread and vegetable soup that made from the cheapest vegetables available. Some camps have reported two meals a day while others allowed three. The camps were also infested with many types of pest which would cause severe skin problems and lead to dangerous infections and eventually, causing death. Nevertheless, they were still forced to work even if they were ill. Under these extremely bad circumstances, many of them were driven to insanity and in many cases committed suicide.
