Pareto distribution

The following shows the corresponding numbers of each day of the week Monday – 1 Friday - 5 Tuesday – 2 Saturday - 6 Wednesday – 3 Sunday - 7 Thursday – 4 Example 7-4: If today is Friday, what day of the week is 6 days after today? Solution: Since Friday is associated with number 5, we need to add 6 to 5. Thus, we have 11. But since there are only 7 days in a week we need to subtract 7 from 11. Thus, we have 4. Hence, the desired answer is Thursday. Situations similar to examples…

What is America? Or better yet what can we say represents America and its values? Herbert Hoover once stated, “Within the soul of America is freedom of mind and spirit in man.” This leads one to think American is represented by the ideals of the people, but what if one said America is represented by the U.S. government and its policies.

America ranks as having one of the largest gaps in distribution of wealth. In 1978, the typical male worker’s income was 48,302; in 2010 the typical male worker’s income has decreased to 33,751. However, the people in the top 1% have increased in income, from 393,682 in 1978 to 1,101,089 in 2010 (Inequality for all, 2013). The gap is not getting smaller but…

In our current society in the United States, wealth inequality has grown by leaps and bounds. As time is passing, we are seeing that the rich individuals in our communities are getting richer and the poor individuals are getting poorer. This is to be expected with capitalism at the base stage, but one would think that there would be measures in place to prevent the poor from getting too much poorer.

addition, as computer human interfaces become more user friendly (with voice control, touch screens technology), in the future it might rise the relative return to a less-skilled labor. Although improvement in computer technology and widening income distribution seems to have a positive correlation, other factors also widens the gap. When government adopts polices to enforcing labor laws (eg. minimum wage and weaker worker union), will reduce workers' bargaining power. The wage for an ordinary…

States. Currently, the U.S. ranks around the 30th percentile worldwide in terms of income inequality (Macionis 2015). It means that 70% of other countries have better income distribution between the rich and have-nots than the U.S. This situation has triggered a debate over the need for harmonization and equitable income distribution. The opponents of the course argue that high-income inequality will give the wealthy unacceptable control over the lives of the poor people, can undermine the…

Certainly, Inequality is the United States has increased. I think more than the studies, what has been going on in the nation and in the entire planet about how socioeconomic classes have distanced apart is pretty notorious.
