The Union is supposed to help the economy, not take away businesses that will help it. Efforts made by the Union to keep Hostess and get a better pay and benefits for the workers were too expensive and not very reasonable. I think they should have tried to work out a better plan instead of making it practically impossible for Hostess to agree. Because Hostess went out of business, it will affect not only the lives of more than 18,500 workers, but it will also hurt the economy of the United
But the unions have gained too much power. In some states, the union bars the school district from rewarding teachers that are great at their craft. They dictate that all of the teachers must be on an even pay level. This would discourage me from doing any more to help students, than the most ineffective teacher, if we were made to get paid the same. Unions have helped bridge the pay gap between male and female teachers, black and whites teachers, etc.
Maturity for College Entering adulthood can be stressful and begin early in one’s life. Within American Culture, attaining a college degree is the status quo of our nation’s individuals. Many college students like me have felt the pressure deciding what to do after high school. Some young adults get married, enter the arm forces, get into vocational schools, or like most go to college. Linda Lee, an editor and writer of the New York Times, writes an article to the Time’s newspaper, based on her book, Why Your Child May Not Have to Go to College Right Now- And May Not Ever Have to Go(2000).
This can affect their education as they will not want to stay on in further education, as they can get a job and make money straight away. ), and Present-time orientation (The w/c believe that you should savour every day, as tomorrow may never come. With this frame of mind, they may think education is a waste of time, as it may not benefit you if tomorrow never comes.) These two sociologists’ theories and practices prove that there are major differences in achievement between classes. However, these theories stereotype, and blame the family too much.
P. Shipsey March 22, 2012 Nickel and Dimed Nickel and Dimed, by Barbara Ehrenreich provides an interesting, and at times amusing, look at the plight of low wage workers in America. Although it is an unrealistic journey, as the author has the luxury of returning to her “real life”, has no familial structure to aide her, and moves constantly, rather than staying at one job to strive for advancement, the author does manage to highlight the difficult lives of those earning a minimum wage. Ms. Ehrenreich, a conflict theorist, approaches the problem of living on minimum wage. She posits that the problem is that the minimum wage does not provide a living wage, and that the benefactors of the low wage are companies. The author’s glass is half empty as she blames the unequal allocation of resources for the hard lives of herself and her temporary peers.
My mother now lives and depends on me not because she desires to but she has no other choice; this is not fair. The audience for this essay would be the government officials, people who are unemployed, the unemployed office and social services departments. The preliminary thesis statement for this essay would be: If there isn’t a change in regulations for unemployment benefits how will the unemployed survive?

America is continuously altered the cutback in jobs that are still obtainable by high paid craftsman/women. Multiple individuals have gone without employment due to the decrease in the cost-cutting measure that our society is currently going though. However, these individuals workers are incapable to find employment within a new employer they seek employment with a current workforce. Due to the increase in quantified craftsman/women employees who try to take legal action or try to sue partners/employers that they work for of past employers are altering the way they manage to try to put a stop to any past/present employers. Some companies bend over training employees to succeed up the ladder to success to explore and prevent any litigation from possible being brought against them and their
This situation is not one to rationalize about. It should not be tolerated. There are many factors involved in the negative economic impact of illegal immigrants. I and many others feel that they are a threat to America's economy. We are loosing jobs, paying for them to be here, and giving them free stuff.
Lauren Walker The debates held over aspects of the economy, especially minimum wage, are too numerous to count. The question these days is whether the government should raise the minimum wage or not. To be honest, I believe our country would be better off without a minimum wage, and let businesses decide for themselves what to pay their employers. There are several reasons to be against this claim, but there a subsequent reasons for it, reasons that define a stable economy. Having a minimum wage in our country limits the efficiency of businesses, limits the availability of jobs to citizens because of illegal immigrants, and even drives some people out of business.
Feeling helpless due to the economy they become addicted to claiming help from other sources other than themselves because it just seems easier. Thomas argues,” Anyone who thinks dysfunctional government is going to help their dreams is putting their faith in the wrong place.” In other words, the government cannot help everyone. Instead we should but putting our faith into ourselves. We are what makes America today, and if we don’t like it, then maybe we should take action and change it. If we were to start by supporting small business, we would be creating more employment, and keeping money in the community.
