A World Without Works By Nathan Bomey

As the future approaches, automation and technology are quickly evolving and diminishing the amount of jobs available for Americans. American work-life has evolved drastically over the years. Certain jobs are being replaced by drones and robots, leaving many Americans unemployed. It has caused a slight shift in how we work. However, the continuation of work is still alive. In the article “A World Without Work,” (2015) the author Derek Thompson expresses how people are losing their jobs. Nevertheless, they’re using their hobbies and talents to generate money. Someone might sell their poetry and written work when they have lost their job generating income while also fostering creativity. President Nixon’s “Address to The Nation on Labor

Issues like downsizing and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers at one factory told me that the unit I was working in would be shut down within six months and moved to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour”, in this statement he gives the readers reasons for factory work being a hard way to live. Lastly, this statement he made, “The things that factory work has taught me how lucky I am to get an education, how to work hard, how easy it is to lose that work once you have it are by no means earth-shattering” the author is giving examples of the different lessons that leads to my main claim about his purposes for writing his article.

According to an article written by Sam Kennedy (Kennedy, 2014), the Lehigh Valley lost jobs this past February for the first time in about four years. This pushed some long-term unemployed persons and

Poverty is on the rise all around the world especially across the United States. This is a problem that is affecting many aspects of life for both the victim and the people around them. Students living in poverty have to tolerate many unfortunate circumstances on a daily basis which can have a significant effect on their growth, development, and educational experience. Students from low socioeconomic backgrounds can still have the same success as the average student, but it takes a little extra effort and a leap of faith. Although it may be challenging for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds to achieve success in school and the real world, it is not impossible.

Mills continues about the unemployed individual, '...but when in a nation of 50 million employees, 15 million men are unemployed, that is an issue, and we may not hope to find its solution within the range of opportunities open to any one individual'. (Mills 1959: 9)

A vanished World written by Chris Lowney chronicles the daily life of the Jews, Muslims and Christians, living in the Muslim kingdoms in Medieval Spain. He covers different spectrum of this world that was torn by religious antagonism. In Medieval Spain, in the medieval Spanish villages Muslims, Christians, and Jews rubbed shoulders on a daily basis. They shared irrigation system, bathhouses, municipal ovens, and marketplaces. But they created a system that made everything work efficiently. Medieval Spaniards introduced Europeans to paper manufacture, Hindu-Arabic numerals, philosophical classics, algebra, citrus fruits, cotton, and new medical techniques. More astonishing than Spain 's wide-ranging accomplishments, however, was the

Through his black and white piece “Untitled” (1990), East Village artist, David Wajnarowicz, reveals the abhorrent discrimination gay children encountered in hetero-normative American culture in the 1980s. Wajnarowicz deplores the social and psychological impact of growing up homosexual in an oppressive environment. This work appeals strongly to pathos because it constantly targets the audience’s sympathy and empathy. Surrounding the childhood picture of the artist himself are the words, “One day this kid will begin to experience all this activity in his environment and that activity and information will compel him to commit suicide or submit to danger in hopes of being murdered or submit to silence and invisibility.” He depicts an image of a little boy who seems to have his whole life ahead of him, but it’s a life that

In the article called “Another Earth” by Alice Savage and David Wiece started with the sharing of the theory that life outside of Earth could exist. The author’s son thinks that it’s possible for other living being to exist and live on other planets, but the author had this theory as just a theory until the moment when scientist found a lot of planets that can potentially have live life on them. After that, he starts to share his memories about what people thought about life outside of Earth back in the 70’s. He shares this idea that to find a planet we have to look at stars. He talks about two methods of how we can find a planet looking at a star. Planets have their gravitational pull and when they are moving around a star we can see them

Political scientist, Gerald Rosenberg, author of The Hollow Hope, argued that the Supreme Court, and courts in general, have far less influence on policy than what is commonly believed. Rosenberg affirmed that it is practically impossible to create significant policy reform through litigation itself. In his opinion American courts are quite powerless and unavailing. Rosenberg covers two types of judicial behavior: the Dynamic Court model, in which Supreme Court decisions are extremely influential and the Constrained Court model, where limits on the Court’s power cause decisions to have little impact. To support his claims he discussed the direct and indirect effects of major court decisions like Brown v. Board of Education and Roe v. Wade on policy. He claimed that Congress, the White House, and social movements have done far more to advance policy changes than the Court has. Rosenberg also addressed the fight for same-sex marriage rights as a current example of the Court’s weak influence on policy change and emphasized the importance of social movements to policy change. It’s clear that Rosenberg believes that there is very little that the courts can actually accomplish on their own. I would have to agree, people create social change, not the courts.

Our issue can best be described by a story. The rivals in the tale were two titans in the world of automobile manufacturing who took a tour of a newly built and highly-automated factory. The forceful executive, Henry Ford II, and the leader of the automobile workers union, Walter Reuther, both saw many examples of advanced machinery operating at the plant. The words they exchanged brilliantly encapsulated the paradox of automation (Quote Investigator). “Walter, how are you going to get those robots to pay your union dues?”( Henry Ford II). This was followed by “Henry, how are you going to get them to buy your cars?”(Walter Reuther). This is the exact issue we are dealing with today.

In the article “A New Normal” John-Pierre Joyce writes about Homosexuality in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Doctors and homosexual men were very desperate to find a cure for what they considered a disease at the time. In 1957 a doctor went on TV to publically state that he was a homosexual and wanted to become normal and to be cured. This was contradictory to a report published called the Wolfenden Report. In the report it was concluded that there was not enough evidence to prove that homosexuality was in fact a disease. Also Alfred Kinsey did research on how homosexual tendencies could be found in all humans throughout a persons’ life-time, reinforcing the fact that being gay was not a disease.

Often when a short film is made the creator's focus is singled on either the effects or the story, however, to create a masterpiece the creator of a short film should consider every angle. "Worlds Apart" by Michael Zachary Huber is one of the greats. The short is about a teddy bear in a post-apocalyptic world reminiscing life with the boy who owned the bear when aliens find him in an abandoned house. Huber's short is a well thought out work shown through its dramatic power, artistry, and its multi-layered structure.

Throughout the generation, it has been evident that society is made up of a variety of people with distinct characteristics. Each person had a their own personality, a unique style, and their own flavor of what they liked or disliked. However, these aren’t traits that people are simply born with. These were traits that people developed as they matured through the course of their own lifetime. While psychological traits like personality live among our society, It should be noted that physical traits of race, class and gender yields an equal, if not, a higher status of importance in our culture. Most importantly, it’s these three articles of humanity that classifies an individual’s place in the world of civilization.
