As well, he was able to provide me with an acceptable summary. However, I would have like to have seen more details in his summary. All he was able to provide me with was that FDR did more than Hoover.
b) I provided Focus Student 1 with oral feedback …show more content…

As well, Focus Student 2 made no comments about the comparison of FDR and Hoover with regards to the

    Long, holds the idea that the government should intervene in industry in order to share wealth across all classes to provide equal opportunity, while President Hoover advocates as little government intervention as possible without actually becoming laissez faire. I agree more with Hoover, although Long makes some points that I do not necessarily disagree with, such as opportunity of inheritance. I use Haiti as an example in distributing wealth after gaining independence. Without large economic and industrial holders, they were never able to advance in technology or business because no one had the resources to get it started. I do not blame the top 1% for the economic downfall of the lower class, but I see larger social problems as the main source especially in American Society.
