He purchased the house with his hard earned money, and tried to increase his profits by trying to resell the home at a higher rate. This is a classic example of being a good businessman. In these harsh economic times, you must always remember to spend money to make money and Behrani was trying to do just that. Although it was sad and unjust what happened to Kathy, she should have been taking care of her financial business within the home.

These two occurrences show that your social class doesn’t always define who you vote for. Also the figures from the general election show that there is still quite a large amount of popularity for the Conservatives within the working classes.

Short Summary In “The Untouchables” Thomas Friedman an investigative reporter and a columnist for the New York Times, also a three time Pulitzer Prize winner argues that the security of future jobs in America will be determined by how “untouchable” each person is. Thomas Friedman has most recently written “Hot, Flat, and Crowded.” Friedman uses the word “flat” to describe “the stunning rise of middle classes all over the world.” Friedman argues with the globalization of the “flat” world, companies are interested in hiring the person most suitable for a job. Each individual should say: ‘Not only does my work have to fit into somebody’s global supply chain, but I myself have to understand how I need to compete and have the skill sets required to work at a pace that fits the supply chain. And I had better be able to do that as well or better than anyone else in the world.’ In order to have success in America’s work field you will need certain skills that are suited to the flat world. These skills will make you special or anchored and therefore make you untouchable.
I disagree that we are taught that America is a classless society; I think we have always are aware of the class of people that exist.

Mass media has made Americans more aware of the major poverty that exists and the billionaires that live the very high class life. Media allows access to see how the other half lives. The public is able to see rags-to-riches stories and believe that could be me one
The media has had a great impact on the recent presidential elections. It is the most important and influential factor when determining who to vote for. The media has both positive and negative effects, it can make somebody look like a heroic person who is ready to lead the country no matter what happens, and it can also someone look like a babbling moron who has no clue about anything. The two main types of media that affect the election are paid advertising and news reporting. Paid advertising is when a presidential candidate pays to broadcast his message to the American people.
Equal political voice and the opportunity to participate in democracy are certainly valued ideals, as generations of Americans, from the colonists of late eighteenth century to women of the early twentieth century, have fought for their place in this country. Every vote is crucial to the development and maintenance of America, representing the voice of the citizens for politicians to act upon. Unfortunately, the American people are heard unequally and unjustly. The gap between who is and is not able to partake in United States politics is steadily increasing. The privileged and well organized wealthy upper class of this country dominate the polls, the majority of the U.S. is not represented in election, further slowing the progress of political reform.
Name Teacher Class Date Why are professional athletes considered excessively paid? Should or shouldn’t they be getting paid as much as they are, and what are the affects of this problem? Professional athletes may not be as overpaid as you think. Professional sports are a central portion of American society in today’s world, and without them there would be a huge difference in the economy.

I believe that many talented professional would love to work for Dan Price, not only because of the larger salary he guarantees to pay, but manly because of his approach to a problem that affects the corporate world: payment inequalities.

Nevertheless, accumulating money is scientifically proven to make no one happy and it is a big hazard to the world’s economy. New Oxfam report says that the 80 richest individuals on Earth have as much health as the 3.5 Billion poorest people. These 80 individuals could be as happy with less than 10% of their money, while the poorest population would immensely improve their quality of life by getting a share of that money.
They need money to pay for taxes but most importantly, to an American, expensive materials with the most exclusive name brands. The typical American is very materialistic who enjoys the finer things. Americans are heavily focused on the media and how the celebrities on television live their lives and dream to live theirs the same exact way which can somewhat be impossible. Watching how celebrities on television live their lives can be a cause of materialism. Americans who have the finer things talk down on the average American who just works for a living everyday which causes the average American to feel like they can’t do something just because of what someone with more money says they shouldn’t do.
They need decent possibilities so that they can take over the important jobs and positions in our society. A healthy country must have a certain amount of young minds to take over political positions, as a country requires smart people in that area. Education is often subject to political debates because everyone knows the importance of the educational system and if you play your cards right there are many votes coming your way. That could be one the reasons President Barack Obama is holding his speech “Prepared Remarks of President Barack Obama: Back to school”, which was presented at Arlington, Virginia in 2009. Another reason is that he is genuinely concerned about the students of American schools.
