Andrew Carnegie: Dunfermline, Scotland's Historic Medieval Capital

I believe that Carnegie’s views are certainly ethical and that the wealthy must assist the poor if not tons of people can die like the many miners who lived tedious low-level existing lives. The miners had a very poor and unhealthy lifestyle they were covered in ash and dust all the time. The dangers of working in the mines were plenty they may be crushed to death at any giving time by the roof burned by exploding gas or simply blown to pieces by the premature blast. There were so many men and boys that ended up being crippled or dead.

Might as well start from the very beginning. I was born on January first, seventeen thirty-five in Boston, Massachusetts, before America became an independent country. That means we were still controlled by the British. My father’s name was Appollos De Revoire, a French Huguenot (a member of the Protestant faith). My mother’s name was Deborah Hitchbourn-Revere.

I was born on April 23, 1994 in Brampton, Ontario. I have lived in Brampton my entire life. I completed my undergraduate degree at University of Toronto, and now I am here at York University completing my BEd. I am someone who values helping others above anything else, which is why my dream has always been to become a teacher. This is something that I will accomplish, and nothing will stop me from achieving my dreams!

On September 4, 1999, I was born in Victoria Jubilee hospital in Kingston, Jamaica. My family comes from the inner city of a country that is poverty stricken, politically corrupt, with an excessive murder rate. Despite the many flaws, I was taught to love my culture and respect others. My family came to America to have a better opportunity in life.

I was Born December 21st, 1925 in Cincinnati Ohio. My parents are Nick and Johanna Kamenshek. I was an only child my whole life but I had large dreams. I dreamed of becoming a nurse and I wanted to help everyone, small problem with that. My only way of becoming a nurse was by enlisting but my mother was worried and wouldn't let me

I was born May, 30th 1989 at Wadley Medical in Texarkana, Ar. I was born to Kym Crispino from Queens, NY and William Lee of Hot Springs, Ar. My parents were young when they had me. We were very poor at times, but they always made sure I had what I needed. I was an only child, but grew up around plenty of cousins. I have lived in Texarkana my entire life. My parents split up when I was twelve, and my mother and I moved out into the country on a dead-end street with no children in the area, I became very sheltered and a little socially awkward.

He was a “Captain of Industry” and a “Robber Baron”. Andrew Carnegie was born in Scotland on November 25, 1835. Carnegie grew up poor. The family left Scotland for the United States. They left because of a lack of business in the textile mill and the potato famine in Ireland. The Carnegie's moved to Pittsburg to be closer to other family members. His family didn’t have the money to send him to school and graduate. He began working at a textile mill at age twelve. Andrew Carnegie was thirteen when he came to the United States with his family.They settled in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and Carnegie went to work in a factory, earning $1.20 a week. Carnegie found a job as a telegraph messenger. He was 16 when he decoded the dot-dot message and

It is seen through the eyes of Andrew Carnegie, that our lives and our success become based off of how much ‘will’ we are willing to put in. Not only that, but it is clearly seen that Carnegie is a firm believer in sharing the wealth with those less fortunate. As well as the disturbance Andrew Carnegie had in the great division of rich and poor, he felt to suggest his ideas in order to fix this. On the other hand, when seen in the eyes of the “average coal miner”, he understands the process in which the positions of work function. The “average coal miner” has no objections with the process, but rather, keeps striving to rise up.

Andrew Carnegie, known for his wealth amassed from the steel industries, introduces his views of an "inevitable" wealth gap, as well as his opinion as to how philanthropists should distribute their money. Carnegie himself, distributed 90 percent of his own wealth before his death in the early 20th century. The man's capital was donated to universities, standing behind Carnegie's assertion that money should be given to causes that alleviate the "burden" of the wealth gap between the rich and the poor. However, Carnegie does explain that whatever the American people do, the gap is "inevitable," as a just consequence of capitalism. Throughout his article, the philanthropists explains that in a capitalist America, while wealth inequality is prone

Good morning to my fellow American citizens and colleagues. I, Andrew Carnegie have decided, after much deliberation, to address my status as a “robber baron”. To truly understand my reasoning on this issue, we must first discuss how I rose to my current status, and what hardships I faced along the way.

Andrew Carnegie was a major influence in the building of America. He helped mass produce steel in America to build sky scrapers and other things that use steel today. Without his major influence on the building of America the country we see now may not be the same now. Although he did many great things and had many notable accomplishments Andrew Carnegie wasn't a hero because he did inhumane things to his workers being two faced and greedy, being the person responsible to the killings at homestead and bribing a president to run so that he could keep his monopoly that was hurting the lower class. Andrew Carnegie was greedy paying 2/3rds of his employees $1.40 when the average pay per hour for a steel worker was $1.81 and having them work 12

Andrew Carnegie, one of the top business men in Twentieth century America, went from poverty to a multi-millionaire. Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, on November 25, 1835. When he was twelve, Andrew’s family immigrated to the United States. There, Andrew got his first job as a bobbin boy. He was making only $1.20 a week, and his family remained in poverty. Over the next few years, Carnegie worked in the railroad industry. He started to earn more and more money by investing in train cars and other items. Finally he decided to work in the steel industry. Producing steel was cheaper than iron, and it worked just as good. His main clients were railroad companies which used the steel for ties. He earned millions of dollars and

I was born on August 1st, 1770. I grew up in Virginia with 10 siblings. I was tutored at home as a child, and did not have any formal education. My five older brothers fought in the American Revolutionary War. My oldest brother, George Rogers Clark, was the general during this time. Soon, I moved to Kentucky with my family, where we arrived in March 1785. We moved into a plantation known as Mulberry Hill, located near Louisville.

On lesson Two, Andrew Carnegie had an impressive empire built from rags. This was always the sentiment that America has portrayed to the world, start from nothing and become rich; no other country has been able to offer such opportunities on this earth. Unfortunately, money brought power and power is an uncontrollable monster that swallows anyone standing in front which not many could escape. Mr. Carnegie suffered from the effects of having too much power that blinded him of anything else that was real. Through the years the U.S government has attempted to break monopolies with very little success. The history of this country story is full of Carnegies that forgot where they came from and it seems that the only solution to this problem would

My parents made the decision to stay in New York because they were comfortable here, familiarity, the influence of Catholicism, and thought we had already traveled enough to get here. We lived in a
