When a husband or father loses his job it affect his identity and his sense of self-worth, they also feel a loss of authority and respect in the household.

The second problem is the extreme inequality that now set us apart, increase poverty rates, a shrinking middle class…

presence of a middle class. Though democracy and entrepreneurship have at least started a middle class that was even scarcer before, Africa is still dominantly populated with very poor people and rich people. There are places, such as Accra’s financial district, which stand as good hope for Africa’s improving middle class, but there is much more poverty. In fact, the percentage of middle class people in Africa, roughly 6%, is only slightly larger since the past decade. Even the upper middle…

When looking at the diverse conditions in which Betty, Maisha and Steve live, though they are all in the middle, this doubt seems to be appropriate. Yet it would be false to throw the baby out with the bath water and put the all postulated transformations into question. Enaudeau observes that “a growing number of Africans are indeed lifting themselves out of poverty but, contrary to the African economic revolution narrative, this is not happening overnight.” (Enaudeau, 2013).

Bread was the main source of nutrition in the middle ages, the baker had to take orders specific to the person in order for everybody to survive.

The wealthier families had better bread while families that did not have money flowing out of their pockets had their bread made with cheaper grains to save money.

from our in-class discussions is that all these concepts/factors correlate with one another somehow. They relate to the social issues that we face today. I strongly feel that the way we behave and what we experience determines how we feel towards certain issues like racial profiling or underpaid women.

democracy, there must be a thriving middle class. The middle class is becoming non-existent, because of the discrepancy in financial opportunity. As the gap widens between the half and the half nots, it has developed a culture that an ordinary person is less competitive, while making the best educated more competitive.
