It seemed like a lot of hype for what in all reality was yet another smartphone for more money with added tricks and sparkle. The author of Meet the new iPhone. Same as the old iPhone was trying to convey that to his audience. Michael S. Rosenwald had a clear argument that is the iPhone 5 is not as ingenious as Apple wants America to believe. His purpose was to relay this information to the public so that they would not be so blind and naïve of Apple’s debauchery.
For many years, people of different races that grew up in a poor family have been struggling to reach the American Dream. Being raised with no money for education seems impossible to many, yet over the decades it has become more prevalent. In today’s society, many people have become successful whether they had had really good educational background. The problem lies in the difference of children raised by wealthy family versus children raised by lower class family. What people must understand is that achieving the American Dream does not rely on the wealth of a family but the effort and solid work.
The way technology has driven the last half of a century has changed life astronomically. Everyday people crave and desire the next big thing on the market. Whether it is the hybrid car or touch screen phone, the need for something more leaves room in life for unhappiness when those items are not obtained. Lao-Tzu strongly argued that when people do not want anything, they are okay with living simple. This is beyond the truth of today.
“Not only was he introducing a new kind of phone-something Apple has never made before- he was doing so with a prototype that barely worked.” (2). Jobs saw the potential the Iphone had and wanted the world to see it for themselves. His logis was if he showed it to the public, everyone would want one immediately, and he was right! For the unveil of the Iphone there was a “golden path” that needed to take place, which was “a specific set of tasks, performed in a specific way and order, that made the phone look liked it worked.” (Vogelstein 2). This deceived the public but had to be done in order to show what the product is capable of.
Obama has made promises of making college more affordable, but has taken no real action in doing so. The citizens that fall under the low-income category are either not admitted into certain institutions because of their status or because they are not able to afford their education, therefore not being able to take advantage of this education. Institutions are also not able to provide students the best experience due to the several students in each class and providing faculty with a salary they deserve in order to provide their students with the best and most affordable experience
It seemed as if the only people who were able to keep up with the rapid change were the youth. With technological breakthroughs becoming more common by people who seemed to be younger and younger, the youth of today’s society thrive on the new products as if their lives depended on it. My little sister, for example, is nine years old and has mastered the task of working Apple’s new product, the “iPad”, while my grandfather who is 75 years old feels as if telemarketers are using computers to track when he is at home to call him. This supports my theory that other older generations are afraid of something they do not know or fully comprehend. I personally believe that since my generation is so well informed and well trained with digital technology, we should actually take the time to show the previous generations how certain things work, help them and do away with that primal fear that many of them have.
I am a lifelong learner so I will never say I have a mastery of any skill as there is always something new to be learned, or changes made to existing skills. I can say that when it comes to new concepts and ideas I try my best with the tools that I have acquired over the years to effectively use critical thinking when formulating a persuasive argument. This class has given me new tools as well as shed more light on the existing ones I have already acquired. I wasn’t able to get feedback on week 9’s
They questioned authority systems and began to ask to change in laws. The reason Baby Boomers are so influential is because they are a large population. They are such a large population because they didn’t go to war (like the past two generations did) and they faced fewer medical threats such as the influenza pandemic. Another reason why Baby boomers have the largest population is because married and single women
The local economy and the global forces and economic pressures have affected people’s prospects in achieving a rich lifestyle and rely heavily on government entitlements and programs which so many criticize as going in the wrong direction. But in reality, entitlements like Medicaid, food assistance (SNAP), Medicare and Social Security have helped so many Americans survive through these hard times, although many of these programs do not form part of the American Dream in many minds. In the past many Americans depended on manufacturing jobs for their livelihood. When they got a job, there was a great amount of certainty that they could rely on it to progress and sustain a healthy lifestyle for their family to buy a home, car and everything that came with it. Today those jobs have gone to other developing nations who can afford to hire employees at low wage.
Unfortunately, since the programs in the United States seem to be focused on alleviating some of the effects of relative poverty they have done a "lousy" job of teaching people how to stay out of poverty--finish school, don't have children unless you are married, get a job and good intentions are not enough. It's unclear how much good all these extensive programs have done since they are seldom reviewed by Congress; but they have spent an enormous amount of money--almost $717 billion in Federal funds plus $210 billion in state funds for $927 billion total in 2010--and increasing fast.
