The question therefore is proposed, does income inequality impair the American dream of upward mobility? As part of Intelligence Squared US we hear from Elise Gould and Nick Hanaver arguing for the proposition and Edward Conard and…

different groups such low class, middle class, and high class. We determine what class we want to be in: therefore, I do believe the idea of social mobility is achievable for most Americans. Structural mobility is the movement up or down the social class ladder that is due more to change in the structure of society than to the actions of individuals (237).

principle would be the principle of Justice as Fairness (Kinicki, 2013). As Kinicki states, Justice as Fairness is “A principle that aims to protect those least able to protect themselves” (Kinicki, 2013, p. 93). In terms of advancing up the career ladder, I believe that the pros to this approach would be consistency and reliability. With Justice and Fairness, my professional colleagues, including those watching my work for possible advancement, would see that I could systematically execute…

Arguments used by the Southerners to justify slavery include the economy, social status, and the right to own property. In 1832, Thomas Dew, a professor at William and Mary college, stated, “It is, in truth, the slave labor in Virginia which gives value to her soil and her [properties]; take away this, and you pull down the . . . whole system.” Thomas Dew meant that the South’s whole economic system is centered around slavery, and without it, the whole Southern economy would collapse.

knowledge and reading of the upper, but didn't quite have the same amount of wealth. Another character who helps reveal Chaucer’s purpose is the Franklin described in the prologue. He describes the Franklin as someone who worked his way up the social ladder, which was a sign of the rise of the Renaissance period. The medieval times didn't quite make it possible to people to work their way up, you were either born into wealth or you were a commoner, or you were just poor, working to the top…

left for after her death. Tom wanted to free him complexly because he was inspired by The Count of the Monte Cristo. “But there’s one thing- he can have a rope ladder; we can tear up our sheets and make him a rope ladder easy enough. And we can send it to him in a pie; it’s mostly done that way” (214). Tom did not have to make a ladder because Jim was only in a one story building. This shows how romantics liked to go through a long process and exaggerate…

still had not found it. I heard my teammate Grace scream, “Check the Fort” I ran inside the open gate and down the long fence. Once I reached the old ladder I didn’t think twice, I sprinted up it. After quickly reaching the first floor of the fort the hatchet was nowhere to be found. Before anyone else beat me to, I grabbed a hold of that second ladder which led me to the top, giving me a new splinter every time I grabbed the next hold.
