Day explicitly states that “this”, referring to Kenkle’s previous statement about the love of money, “ and other facts seem to me to point more strongly than ever to the importance of voluntary poverty today” (Day 86). Singer, similarly advocates for keeping only the money necessary to live adequately, and donating the remainder to those in need. He further breaks down this plan stating, “An American household with an income of $50,000 spends around $30,000 annually on necessities”, and that, “for a household bringing in $50,000 a year, donations to help the world poor should be as close as possible to $20,000” (Singer 665). These conditions require that each person spend little to no money on any luxuries, but rather support the people who do not even have basic

In the article, “Bridges or Barriers”, the writer tells the readers that “Community colleges have a critical role to play in providing access to the American dream.” Community colleges do have a critical role in achieving the American dream, but in order to achieve success you’re going to have to want it. Money is probably the main reason people attend community based colleges. The writer of “Bridges or Barriers,” mentions that “More than 6.5 million students attend the nearly 1,200 two-year colleges, located in all 50 states. Sixty-five percent of students from families with incomes of less than $20,000 attend community colleges”, that’s a high percentage of families receiving a very low income.

Colleges make up to 3.5 billion dollars a year off of football. You might think the players, who do all the hard work, should get some of it. But, in a way, they do. First of all there are scholarships, some players can receive can get up to 160,000 dollars in scholarships.

Many couples around the world simply want to have a baby, yet so many are unable to. There are many solutions to whatever the problem may be, but it doesn’t come easy.

These men were captains of industry because they all donated money. One way Rockefeller bestowed a portion of his money away was by giving “millions of dollars to a variety of causes.” In the reading it quotes, “In 1919 Rockefeller donated $50,000,000 to the Board to raise academic Salaries.” This quote demonstrates that John D. Rockefeller was not an awful guy and cared for other people. In addition, it later says in the reading it that he also donated money for religion and medical purposes.

WOOSTER — Dawn Cazzolli’s job is stressful. She is the executive director of the Wayne County Children’s Advocacy Center, which looks into allegations of sexual and severe physical abuse. “It’s stressful and people get burned out, but when you look around the table, there’s people who are just as passionate about child safety and child welfare,” she said. “I think of it as a calling.” To help Cazzolli recharge, she, her husband, Andy, and their children, Greyson, 15, and Sophia, 13, like to go camping, “into nature where birds are singing, where I feel the breeze, to bike, hike and see so many flowers.

George sacrifices the chance to have a better and more fulfilled life to stay with Lennie. First, when George was introducing himself and Lennie to their new boss, he said, “I never seen one guy take so much trouble for another guy.” This shows that George was portraying that he cares about Lennie enough to be picked up on by others.

Also, when George and Lennie were talking to each other at their camp spot George said, “I could get along so easy and nice If I didn’t have you on my tail.”

The Industrial Revolution resulted in many huge changes in society, including a growth in capitalism. The social and political effects have produced a great amount of debate. Andrew Ure, Karl Marx, and Adam Smith all had differing views on industrial capitalism and opinions about what its social consequences would be. Ure’s “The Philosophy of Manufactures,” Marx’s “The Communist Manifesto,” and Smith’s “Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations” all portray their perspectives.

Moreover, with the rise of industries and the correlated wealth of their leaders, the pockets of the lower classes especially those of immigrants and farmers dwindled greatly. For example, in Document 2, Charles Loring Brace summarizes the lifestyle of the impoverished simply labeling their communities as “vagrant” and “idle” as these people drowned in “wretched rooms” completing “street-jobs” as a way to supply for their families. This portrayal of these people by Brace demonstrates the difficult life of a worker for even if they were able to come home with something, it was useless to their wellbeing. Ways of living such as those presented in Document 2, led to unions that fought to protect basic rights of those who were powerless such as the National Labor Union and Knights of Labor.
