In the book “The Next Hundred Million – America in 2050” author Joel Kotkin predicts the future outcome of America compared to other countries around the world. According to him “The Next Hundred Million is not a story of power brokers, policy disputes, or media perceptions. Rather, it is an inquiry into the evolution of cities, towns, and neighborhoods, and of industries, churches, and families, both in newly emerging regions and in venerable old ones.” While reading this book my thoughts and…

In 1996, the book “The Millionaire Next Door” exposed the long-held secret of millionaires in America. Their secret? With the exception of a handful, most millionaires don’t live like the superstar millionaires on TV do. Instead, they look like regular guys and they work regular jobs. And yet, they manage to amass up to $10 million or more in money and assets. If you’re asking yourself how this is possible, it may be that their millionaire tricks have eluded you. But that doesn’t mean it’s too…

an analysis of the denial of racism as a basis for the Neoliberal commoditization of racial identity will be analyzed in “Fashioning Race for the Free Market on America’s Next Top Model” by Amy Adele Hasinoff. Hasinoff (2008) defines the propagandistic modes of racial commoditization in "Realty TV shows”, such as “America’s Next Top Model” (ANTM), to identify the Neoliberal fantasy of the structural irrelevance of racism in the 21st century.

This election year many Americans are debating weather Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton should be the next president. I say that neither should be the next president of our great country. In today’s world there are never only two solutions to any issue.

So why do the American people only elect candidates from one of…

>Based on what you read, what do you think the author believes is the next biggest pandemic? The author does not specifically claim or stated a specific type of pandemic. However, he claims in page 253 that influenza is the nightmare for the epidemiologists. Throughout reading this book, I learned that pandemics could happen suddenly, since the majority of virus exists in animals such as birds, bats, and rodents. The author came to a conclusion that we need to invest our federal budget to…

It is hard to imagine what it is like to live with next to nothing until you sit down and pull it apart piece by piece. I spent countless hours making a budget, and then rewriting the budget, until I finally got to the point where I could make a family of four successfully live off of a yearly income of $24,251. I visited websites I never thought I’d visit and budgeted things I unconsciously assumed everyone already had. The experience was both stressful and rewarding all in one. In the end, it…
