Andrew Carnegie, born on November 25, 1835, was a Scottish philanthropist who was one of the richest men in America in the 1900 's. I completely agree with Carnegie 's opinion of how the rich should donate their money toward the good of mankind before they die, but disagree with his actions toward his workers . He started working in a cotton mill making $1.20 a week only to upgrade to $2.20 working as a messenger boy. He eventually taught himself telegraphy and worked as Thomas A. Scott 's assistant for $35 a month. He moved on to investing, with the help from his “mentor” Scott, in the Woodruff Sleeping Car Company and several small iron mills and factories.

In the paper presented below, the author assembles an idea about populism as a modern tyranny, taking book IX as a reference for the similarity of certain features among a populist leader today, with the tyrant of yesterday described by Plato. According to Socrates the democratic man arose from the oligarchic father when he dared to place in the same rank the necessary and unnecessary desires enjoying them in moderation. In Book IX of the treatise of Plato 's Republic, Socrates argues his disciple Adeimantus as the Democratic son of a man becomes a tyrant when he lets himself be dragged by evil companies that incite him to seek the pleasure of the forbidden at best dark of his being,
Hungry for knowledge and new formulas, I desire to become a renowned mathematician. When I get home from school, bored and deprived of mathematical challenges, I explore the vast secrets of the internet. Likewise, I watch videos on cool shapes and patterns constantly affecting our everyday lives. Despite this, my uninteresting life brings me back to school where I sit still in desks for hours learning about super PAC’s and oxidation reduction reactions. As most high school attendees would say, almost every single class they take is useless for what they want to chase after in college and the business world. For over seventeen years, spread abroad, seven mathematical problems shake and stymie even the best of minds. Clay Mathematics called these
Of a handful of democrats and over a dozen republicans, there is one man, Bernie Sanders, who titles himself as a democratic socialist. When people hear “socialist.” they often run in the other direction, probably because they don’t fully understand what that entails. The official definition of socialism is, “a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.” A primary goal of socialism is production to satisfy human needs, not as under capitalism, for sale and profit and to end poverty, racism, sexism, environmental disaster and to avert the still potent threat of a catastrophic nuclear war. The former Vermont Senator, Bernie Sanders, is an advocate for the rights and needs of human beings, and eradicating controlling banks and corporations, as opposed to economic hierarchy prevalent in today’s government. He has clearly made an impact in his home state, remaining the longest serving independent member of Congress in American history, serving sixteen consecutive years. As a democratic socialist, Sanders is the only candidate with intentions in aiding the end of capitalism, funded by the people, for the people. Bernie Sanders is by far the most ideal candidate in this election because of his progressive goals and ideas in regards to the rights of human beings, as well as his determination for social reform.

The people were incidentally under the control of an even worse government before, and so the opposition and immorality associated with these political parties were at first absent and they were welcomed by the masses. These dictators did not learn about their own mistakes for a long time. Lenin before Stalin did not recognize until for a very long time that his regime’s pattern of taking away businesses and shops from the middle class and the peasants was unappreciated (Pauley, 2009). The later dictators had their own initial propositions for the betterment of the nation. Although, Hitler believed that his origin was superior to that of the Jews; so much better that he felt the need to remove them from every position of power and started their annihilation. Consequently, Stalin felt the need to follow a modified Marxism that later resulted in millions of deaths. Mussolini however was the least damaging of the three, although following the same mentality of Hitler and Stalin; he did not cause as many deaths. The book showcases perfectly how the chosen ‘religion’ of the region, as identified by

In June 2014, the billionaire Koch brothers donated a $25 million grant to the United Negro College Fund (UNCF).The funds were donated through the Charles Koch Foundation, which is headed by brothers, David and Charles Koch. The stipulations of the grant include a restriction for young people with an interest in entrepreneurship and economics, and two out of five seats in the scholarship selection committee (Jones). This highly publicized, large donation has far from raised a few eyebrows around the country, because the Koch brothers are notoriously conservative and are known for donating obscene amounts of money to conservative causes and political candidates. For the UNCF to accept such a large amount of money with strings attached from donors
Inequality in the society has been an issue since the history of the universe and as we think we are bridging the gap between the rich and the poor we always find out that it is as a wide as it was. The poor will always exist in the society as the inferior group while the rich are the superiors who control various aspects and sectors of the society.
As I have stated earlier, the Chaebols have gained significant advantage to become the top class due to government control of the financial system in the 1960s. The power and wealth of the chaebol could be best explained by the music video “Gangnam Style”, produced by Park Jaesang, who is known as Psy in the video. As of June 2014, on the CNN Entertainment website stated that “Gangnam Style” has “charted a new record: 2 billion YouTube views” (Conlon, 2014) and has become the most watched video in YouTube history. The video is enjoyed enormously by the American public, which is kind of puzzling, because many do not know the Korean language, therefore, are unable to understand what the video is really talking about.
