Over the course of a child’s lifetime they are exposed to over 40,000 advertisements on television alone. The United States has raised a generation to believe that consumerism is the golden ticket to satisfaction and happiness. Allowing kids to believe this promotes, depression, obesity, materialism, trends and so much more. Kids are taught from the cradle to their grave, brand loyalty. According to a pioneer youth marketer in the documentary Consuming Kids: The Commercialization of Childhood, “The consumer embryo begins to develop the first year of existence.
The economy was great, and many of his statements have been proved wrong. He discussed that the US Government was "lagging behind the times". In a sense it’s as if we don’t want a government that is too efficient, in fact it is actually easier to block government action than to achieve something. The information technology in our government isn't nearly as up to date as it is in the private sector. The government is so large; you can only make changes a little at a time.

“The most obvious example lies in the education system. Upward mobility is increasingly determined my education” (Meritocracy in America, 3). With the more education you receive there will be more chances a person will make more money at a job. “The education system is increasingly stratified by social class, and poor children have a double disadvantage. They attend school with fewer resources than those of their richer contemporaries” (Meritocracy in America, 3).
Galbraith Chapters 1 &2 Argument Spans Chapter 1: “The Affluent society” The problem that Galbraith is trying to point out in the first chapter is that “wealth is the relentless enemy of understanding”(p.1). This wealth has brought change among the people but has kept the ideas of the world of poverty. In the past, almost everybody was poor, but today in the affluent world people are consumed with wealth to the extreme point that they begin to believe that they are poor or “ill” With poor understanding, people are not open to accepting new ideas that can aid this new and affluent society. The economic ideas that are used today, that were “once interpreted the world of mass poverty have made no adjustment to the world of affluence” (p.2).
As shown in Source E, the people with more income are for getting rid of the penny, while the more poor people are against the abolishment. This is probably because the more upper class people do not have to pay for simple things with the pennies they find on the streets. Poorer people who make less than $25,000 a year obviously don’t have good jobs, probably not full coverage health insurance, and a lot of the time, have more children to take care of. Due to the insurance they have, their prescriptions and doctor co pays are very expensive. Penny pinching may be these deprived people’s only option in paying bills.
The money being used to make pennies could be made for other, more useful, things such as buying supplies for schools or helping the homeless. With the cost of penny making going up, the price of everything else has gone up along with it. Because of the growing and evolving economy, no longer does something cost a penny (Source C). Due to the inconvenience, most cashiers become frustrated when someone tries to pay for something with pennies. Although, by eliminating the penny, prices would either have to rounded up or down, but this could be a “win-win” for both the consumer and the corporate businesses.
Social classes in America are often very overlooked in the eyes of many Americans and people throughout the world. Contrary to what many people believe, the wealth of a child’s parents has much to do with how successful that child is later in life. Wealth in America has a great deal of say in determining a child's future; for example, a child from a wealthy family is able to afford high quality pre-school before mandatory schooling begins. On the other end, a child coming from a poor family, that is not able to afford this extra schooling, will already be at a disadvantage when compared to that of a wealthy family. In an article by the New York Times titled, “A Great Nation If You’re Born Rich” author Miles Clark talks as if he were to come from poor parents in America and says: “If my parents lived in the U.S I would have a 1 in 5 chance of being stuck in the bottom 10% of the earnings distribution”(Clark).
