    This weeks reading, Walking This Path Together by Kundouqk and Qwel’shi’yah’maht, was very insightful to the Anti-Oppressive practises across Canada. I appreciated the in depth detail into indigenous studies, and could easily see the transition to all cultures. I was taken by the phrase, “best interest of the child”, as I have heard this phrase many times over my lifetime. (p. 40) The need to protect children has been thrust to the forefront of the country as if a necessity, but rarely is the child’s family or community been considered.…

While it is challenging for me to get past the rage, in the interest of scholastic endeavor, I will persevere. I feel, of course at first a knee jerk reaction.…

    The "Gilded Age" is a sarcastic term used to describe the time period when many industrialists gained wealth and luxurious lifestyles through corruption. Although people can be described as living a golden existence, under all the gold paint many sins in this era where still beneath it. Small farmers and others with low paying jobs felt as if society was being dived between what people do have, and what people do not have. Many of the lowerclassmen did not have the advantage that many of the wealthier people had. Industrial wages were low as well as having long hours in factories with a unstable working environment.…

    Industrialist Andrew Carnegie’s article “Wealth,” later known as “The Gospel of Wealth,” was published in the North American Review in June of 1889. In his writing, he rejected the traditional goals of charity. He depended less on carefully discriminating between the “worthy” and “unworthy” recipients than on attacking the root causes of unequal distributions of wealth itself. Carnegie believed that wealth should be invested in such worthwhile ventures for the wellbeing of the public being rather than using money senselessly and ineffectively. With regard to Carnegie’s belief, he indicates that the estates of the dead millionaire, or so to say, should be taxed increasingly so that the tax can go towards helping the public.…
