The cave of Altamira has the privilege of being the first place in the world where the existence of cave art from the Upper Paleolithic age was identified. Its singularity and quality, its magnificent conservation, and the freshness of its pigments made its recognition to be postponed for a quarter of a century (Led to the postponement of its recognition for a quarter of a century.).

It’s important to remember that Niaux Cave is one of Europe's most impressive Paleolithic rock art galleries of cave paintings. Niaux Cave has been visited since the 17th century - as shown by the graffiti, dated as early as 1602. But it was not until 1906, when the cave paintings in the main chamber of the cave—Salon Noir—were acknowledged as prehistoric, that the preservation of the cave and the study of the paintings began.

America is the “land of opportunity” and that if you dream it, you can achieve it. Some Americans cite the various “rags to riches” stories that few can be heard from Alger’s story, Ragged Dick. In “Class in America” by Gregory Mantsios, he argues that “people do not choose to be poor or working class; instead, they are limited and confined by the opportunities afforded or denied them by a social and economic system” (203). As we all know, it’s incredibly difficult to build wealth even if you…

less divided and more equal. Sufficientarianism allows “the surplus resources held by individuals above the sufficiency threshold to better slightly the condition of one individual below the threshold” (Freimen 34).
