    I believe this artifact which is a signed agreement of Canada being the fourth country allowing citizens who are “LGBTQ” from this country to be married legalized to be put in the museum exhibit of “Canada's History Since 1982” because it would mean a lot to the people who are “LGBTQ” that live here currently or just visiting this country to feel like they are welcomed , not to be judged and to be able to get married here. For example ,China is a country that does not allow same sex marriage and Canada is a accepting nation that does allow it. People from Canada want China citizens to not be ashamed if they are “LGBTA” but to feel accepted.

    In “The Upside of Income Inequality” Gary Becker and Kevin M. Murphy shed light on wealth gap, the reason behind it and the lesser thought perks it has. Throughout the article, the writers claim that it should be noted that inequality accord with being appreciative towards the return on investments made in human capital i.e. it rewards those who educate themselves more and are more adept and so is a positive catalyst toward the wage gap. According to me, the writers came across quite biased and ignorant. Though they did make some valid points regarding education and wage gap. It seemed as if they were quite determined to prove that education was the only reason behind the issue and disregarded important issues like unemployment, inherited wealth…

    The time period from 1870 to 1900 was a time of American turmoil. Although the country had been plunged into the shadows of huge corporations which manipulated the government, many spokespeople acted as if all were fine.

During the Gilded Age, monopolies took over business in America, buying out their competitors leaving consumers no choice but to buy their products. The wealthy heads of these monopolies used their money to bribe government official and push for their own gain.…

    There has long been a debate no whether the capitalists of the late 19th century to early 20th century (such as Rockefeller, Carnegie, etc.) were “captains of industry” who looked to better the budding country or corrupt “robber barons” who only looked after themselves.

It is quite easy to see that the capitalists who shaped post-civil War industrial America were corrupt robber barons who rode their success of the backs of the poor laborers under them, the robber barons would thrive in the areas of economics,…
