The Middle Class, the Most Affected by The Economic Recession For the past 40 years, the economic system has been in decline and with it, the opportunities for America’s the middle-class success has also lessened. The time in which the wages of a non-educated person were higher than the ones a teacher received is long gone. In fact, the minimum wage has increased insignificantly over the years, in spite the growth in the cost of living causing a gap between people’s needs and what they can…

of an American. The idea of the “American Dream” has been around for almost 200 years now, and it has been defined as the belief that you can succeed financially with working hard and being determined. The American Dream today, is nothing compared to how it was back then. Time induces change, sometimes for good, but also sometimes for the bad. In “Is the American Dream Over?” by Cal Thomas, he argues many important ideas about the American dream as is, today. He believes that the American…

White collar, blue collar, or no collar. This is the hand dealt to millions of Americans who face the daily hypocrisy of our modern system of income ‘equality’. The fact that the middle class once enjoyed the equal distribution of wealth is now almost nonexistent. As the years have gone by, the level of income inequality has increased and so has the poverty. There is no equality for those who make up most of the middle class. Not only that, but the distribution of wealth today making the rich,…

of both poverty and inequality, I was most interested on what it stated about the middle class. Feeling identified with the middle class, it seems to me that its condition is worsening, so the contradictory question, “But with household incomes increasing amid rising inequality, what do the facts tell us about the real material state of the middle class?” drew me in (Gilbert).

In my labor studies class we are learning about what it means to be middle class in the United States. I will be analyzing on how three different articles differ and also compare on this topic of the middle class. I will go in depth on how the articles talk about this topic and what type of methods they use. I will see if these articles use pictures or if they use special fonts. I also want to see if the articles do anything special to make one of these articles stand out from the other ones.…

wouldn’t have made it to the public viewing. However, a young girl grinding a chick (baby chicken) in her toy frying pan. Due to the aim of the audience this ad was meant for (older groups that would appreciate bitter chocolate) working, middle, and even upper middle class, the company Caribu must have felt…

out that Mrs Birling is Sheila’s mother; she is posher than Mr Birling and she cares about money like Mr Birling. Mrs Birling thinks status is very important “Girl committed suicide… of that class” which shows snobbery and difference in status from Mrs Birling. She doesn’t care as it was from “that” class. Mrs Birling is of course higher than that, it is irrelevant to them as Daisy was working…

The first article called “Middle Class but Feeling Economically Insecure” discusses how middle class has increased with stress and anxiety. There are many individuals whom lost their jobs and have stagnating incomes. They also worry about their security and prospects leaving them feeling vulnerable. The middle class has experienced anxiety due to the instability of incomes. Most Americans feel like they are failing to keep up with the gains between themselves and the wealthy.

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…
