Housing was a major problem for the poor due to limited space provided to families and limited utility access that they could live off of. Meanwhile, the wealthy lived a ravished lifestyle in the suburbs, enjoying the spacious and lovely scenery. The rich and the poor classes have some aspects in common regarding their stand on their morals. Poverty back in the Gilded Age was extremely difficult to maintain a family.…

    also writes about income distribution inequality and poverty. Deaton writes that those most in poverty have a much lower chance at getting out of poverty than those who are rich of getting richer (189) and I think that he makes a very valid point. I think that it is much easier to make money when you are wealthy than it is to make money when you are poor. Diamond discussed education and in my opinion, it is much harder to get a good education when you are living in poverty than it is when you are wealthy. Those in poverty may have to drop out of school at a premature age because of financial constraints that force them to get a low-paying job with no chance to move up in the company.…

    How is it that in a society with such wealth, there is such grave poverty? If you were wondering which society the question was referring to, Panem or the U.S., this draws a great point on the status of our own economic system. In the Hunger Games, the stark difference between the poor and the wealthy, along with how the economics of Panem operate, creates a great divide between the Capitol and the districts; through ethical analysis, we will examine the divide and what it is included. Using Immanuel Kant’s ethics, we see that everything the Capitol does to the districts is wrong, and provides a small piece of the wedge between the districts and the Capitol. Going by Kant…

    The rich are called greedy and selfish, but the labels attached to those of the lowest income level are more acrid. The stigma associated with being in poverty is inescapable, as the destitute are viewed as bums, substance abusers, and delinquents. These character judgments are not based on actual experiences but on preconceived notions from peers or the media. Growing up I had heard these labels constantly, but I never thought to challenge them. I just assumed lower-income people were not hard workers.…

    Is it better to grow up rich or poor? For many, the instinctual answer would seem to be rich; however, as noted on page 72 in the Pearson textbook, “Infant, Children, and Adolescents”, research has found that a child growing up in an affluent lifestyle start to show anxiety, depression, or even substance abuse problems by the seventh grade. These adjustment problems that affluent children are facing seem to suggest that developing in a poor household may be better (Berk, 2012, p. 72). However, before one jumps to that conclusion, one should study in order to understand the evidence that show the negative outcomes that might exist growing up in an affluent household.…

    The Outsiders Rough Draft Can you hide your emotions from everyone or will you lash out on them? Emotions can be really hard to hide, and they can affect everyone else's emotions too, with sadness passing on to sadness. This can apply to events as well, like a chain reaction. S.E Hinton’s The Outsiders portrays these chain reactions clearly with each character having more problems grow when they were expressing their strong emotions; Ponyboy, Darry, and Dally are perfect examples for this, with their emotional outbursts towards everyone and themselves.…
