    Journalist and author, Edward McClelland, writer of “RIP, the Middle Class: 1946-2013”, clearly believes that the American middle class is dying and that it should not happen. McClelland states “For the majority of human history—and in the majority of countries today—there have been only two classes: aristocracy and peasantry” (McClelland 550). He asserts that the middle class that flourished following the end of World War II has diminished since America’s first Great Recession in the 1980s and that our federal government is to blame for the decline because it withdrew its supervision of the economy and allowed global free trade (McClelland 550-555). He promotes his idea of the middle class through examples of its prime time when middle class thrived.…

    I consider a most important problem to be one that targets to most people and that is unemployment. Unemployment is everywhere is it isn’t discriminated on race or ethnicity. It is based on the lack of education. In today’s society a bachelor’s degree is the new high school diploma and because of that there are many jobs openings for degrees but if most people can’t afford a higher education why create numerous jobs that are vacant. The government measures the unemployment rate by the people that are not working but looking for a job.…

    Traveling the world to adapt to a new culture, to try new things, and to enjoy a new experience has always been a desire of mine. My motivation on choosing the topic of unemployment is to see what other countries are doing differently than the United States of America (USA). The USA has a lot to offer, including job opportunities, resources, an education system, and also a better way of living. Focusing mainly on job opportunities, what does the other country have to bargain? The questions that will be answered are what causes the unemployment rate in these five countries, New Zealand, Mali, Japan, France, and the United States, to increase or decrease and what can be done to lower the unemployment rate and also to keep it consistent?…

    The American dream, a life full of opportunity in a land that is believed to give people everything they could ever ask for. Education is supposed to be the best and job opportunities are endless. America would like people to believe that starting out as an underdog, barely making ends meet, that with hard work, the ability to move throughout the social ladder will bring people out on top. The class system of America is flawed and the lower class and under class, are those who live below the poverty line and need government assistance, and do not always have the same opportunities or quality of education and employment that is promised.
