Cinderella man assignment 1) Relief was a way, in the great depression, to get assistance financially. Relief was a place where poor families would go to get a certain amount of money. They would give the person enough money so he/she can survive. 2)Jimmy’s attitude toward relief seemed like he was ashamed of the fact that he needed it. My attitude towards relief would also be shameful, to ask for money just to survive and feed your family is very embarrassing.
Americans often pride themselves that theirs is a “land of opportunity.” How much economic opportunity truly did exist in colonial America, and what factors affected the colonist’s opportunities to succeed? Colonial America experienced rapid growth during the 18th century, with its population doubling every 25 years. Much of the foundation and growth of the American colonies can be attributed to the promise of economic opportunity. While land was plentiful and labor was in high demand, the colonist’s opportunities to succeed where hindered by Economic opportunity is relative to the next best alternative, especially to those Europeans immigrating to America in search of it.

It is basically a win for the U.S because we take advantage of people, by promoting investments we know thecountry will never be able to pay back; because of the interest and the amount of the loan.It is amazing how a group of individuals can make so much influence and cheat countries around the globe, and funnel money from the world bank in order to do so. It sadden me how they can damage a country, and how they are taking peoples dignity and culture as well as their lands. This clearly shows how economic growth and development doesn’t benefit everyone in a country, for example the indigenous tribes that were being forced of their land for oil.It seems that governments, big business and the banks will stop at nothing to get what they want. They get away with it because we all live in a state of ignorance. I wonder when we will say enough and demand that these institutions conduct their business with honesty, integrity and complete transparency.It’s no wonder that these countries hate the United States so passionately.

Much like Xquisite Africa, it offers an array of merchandise for a specific ethnic minority in the area. Again, a lot of the people who shop on City Road do not require the specific, culture based products Sanna Silk sells, which could leave them feeling ostracized. There is also a supplementary inequality regarding wealth. From the examples shown in the DVD, Sanna Silk’s prices are prohibitive to some. During the interview the family are quite happy to discuss their wealth and seem to encourage the interviewer to ask about the costly products they sell “Do you see how much one costs or?
This is the cause of many economic issues such as decreasing job opportunities, rising costs, injustice, and crime. Border security breach for the country as a whole and in particular for the residents of the town may cause ecological imbalance by over populating the locality. It is hard to find, when an illegal immigrant commits a crime it takes much longer to sentence him. The government has created to help people that do not have the funds for things such as health care, food, and other things. The taxpayers pay for these programs.
His father and mother were quite different from one another, while they both influenced Carnegie from different point of views. His father was a weaver, before he was laid off, while his mother was the type of woman to do anything to make sure the family was financially stable. Andrew couldn’t help but admire both his figures, but he also had envy and a few bits of dislike towards them. He was always made the odd one out, as his parents always took a more liking to his older brother. Such other influences such as their family’s poverty and lack of opportunities has made him realize that he didn’t want to live such a life, as he got older.
poverty Poverty in the United States is getting worse each day and not enough is getting done about it. The readings from “Babies and Benefits” by Sheila Holbrook-White, the article on poverty by Michael J. Paquette, and “Keeping Women And Children Last” by Ruth Sidel made me view the issues of poverty in a different way. I never realised what kind of people were living in poverty, and the true reasons why they are there. What amazes me the most is how much these people need help, and how little the government is doing to help them. The government should set up work programs for these people to help them get better jobs and make enough money to survive.
