The Dc Urban Moms And Dads Message Board Into The Mommy Fight Site

All i’ve heard from others is that money is everything. That its all you need to survive. That's not true, you don't need wealth. There's people with wealth or people without wealth. That's where people rate you or how you're famous or known out there because you have you have money. Well none of that matters because we were all born to be equal nothing more, nothing less. You might think thats how its suppose to be, where someone's on top or on bottom but everyone should be treated the same.

“Money talks” is an expression many form as a simple analogy to the problem associated with wealth today. However, the value of money is not to be taken in vain as money does not always showcase the attributes of knowledge and power. At the same time, those who do possess money do, in some cases, possess the attributes commonly associated with the wealthier class. “Money and Class in America” wrote by Lewis Lapham in 1988, showcases the pessimistic feelings Lapham has towards the American faith in money. Lapham believes that Americans are at a loss to hold the majesty of money at bay. Though I agree with Lapham to a point, I also believe that the assumptions of Americans do apply to a point.

The Moms.com negotiation has two roles: Kim Taylor as the buyer for WCHI (Independent television station in Chicago) and Terry Schiller as a syndicated sales representative for Hollyville, Inc. an international multimedia corporation that specializes in producing television shows and motion pictures. On this negotiation I played the role of Kim Taylor.

It can be said that money is power in the United States, and this is brought out in the essay, “Class in America---2012” written by Gregory Mantsios. He says that even though many Americans do not like to discuss class, “it can determine where people live, who their friends are, how well they are educated, and what they do for a living” (Mantsios). Many Americans do not speak about class type, and most find it unacceptable (Mantsios). Unfortunately, we can see that there are laws that are built to help and better the wealthy, while it cripples the rest of us. According to the Economic Policy Institute, “The richest twenty percent of Americans hold nearly ninety percent of the total household wealth in this county” (Institute) Gregory Mantsios without reserve describes the majority of people are at a disadvantage in their social class, while the upper class is compensated.

In American society, wealth has played a particularly significant role in shaping the culture and standards set for our country. With every dilemma that has occurred, money was been an underlying deciding factor in the end. John.F.Kennedy makes this very clear in his statement on lowering the prices of steel, all the way Jennifer Price's take on people being obsessed with a money, even Scott Russell’s article on the status quo Americans believe determines one's happiness and success. All of these passages tie together to show just how money influences our very own society.

In the world we live in today money is what defines basically everything. Money defines value, social classes, income, budget, and everything in our daily lives. Therefore if we are a democracy I think it is important the people know where the money of our country is coming from and being spent on. A big issue dealing with money are companies creating more front loading and even political engineering.

Vladeck (2002, para.14) addresses the issue of monetary power and its impact on universal health care coverage in the United States further pointing out that while politicians in the United States were able to succeed without huge electoral support, they couldn’t succeed without money behind them. As industry began to grow in the United States and contracts came up for large infrastructure projects such as the railroad, building canals or bridges and mining, the concept of political donations in return for lucrative contracts began to get established. Vladeck (2002, para16) also points out that wealthy groups and individuals have always been

Money is what makes the world go around. From day one, people are assimilated with the idea: to consume, one must spend a medium sufficient enough to receive an object that is desired. Every country has that medium. The Europeans have the Euro, the Japanese have the Yen, Chile has the Peso, and the United States has the Dollar. However, this idea of “getting and spending” has done more harm than good in specific countries. Particularly, in the United States there has been a growing issue of income inequality. The textbook definition of income inequality states: the difference between individuals or populations in the distribution of their assets, wealth, or income. The political problem itself, nevertheless, is deeper and

People search far and wide all the time to find the truth. According to Shana Lebowitz, “humans actually judge people psychologically based on their face, if they are able to trust another person” (P1). Americans in-particular have had an issue all throughout their country with both corruption and money flooding their political system ultimately preventing positive social change. The questions on campaign finance reform stems in two very different directions in political debate. One, is “Money Free Speech?" Two does it actually promote corruption like some political observers say and if so can it be stopped? Politian’s are first and foremost supposed to be a servant to the people regardless of their background, not to business and or themselves.

Money is an underlying concept and influence throughout Foxfire and in today’s world; it plays a role in who one has connections with and the actions and choices one makes. Foxfire took place during the 1950’s, in the beginnings of The Cold War, a time of sociopolitical tension between eastern communism and western democracy/capitalism. This era of political propaganda led the wealthy of the time to justify their rapacious actions and ideals. In fact, Whitney Kellogg Jr., an affluent white male who owned many large corporations, opposed much of what is now commonly seen as basic human decency. He rants about giving workers “‘sick pay! [To] pay ‘em for being sick!... Pay ‘em for being drunks!-falling into their machines!’” (284) believing

Gentrification is the term that explains the process of renovating and improving homes, or a district to conform to middle-class preferences. As viewed in the documentary Class Divide, a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York called West Chelsea has already undergone a major shift in their community. The addition of schools such as The Avenues, and tourist attractions like the High Line has generated a new identity for the community. Children who are born in poverty in the United States have a harder time getting out of poverty than those children who come from other developed countries. This is due to various institutions such as The Avenues that have created a gap between social classes, making it harder for the lower class to achieve success. Throughout the documentary, the storyline constantly shifts to represent two different point of views: the upper class and the lower class. Within these different points of views, the central themes become evident: income inequality, opposing views of privileged and underprivileged students, and the gentrification of a community.

Moms demand action (MDA) was founded by Shannon Watts in december 15 2012. Shannon started the organization after the sandy hook shooting she wanted to make a stand on gun sense so she started a facebook page where thousands of moms joined to help support soon became a big website where it started to get big where millions of people join and there are currently have 3 million members and 38,000 donors.

Many Americans rate back and imagine life with fewer, a privileged opposition in the high income sphere have brought their worries and sometimes trivial arguments online, where they have different discussions in the Web like how someone should teach a child, why people with high income do not actually feel rich, or why some people judge another by brands of their strolles. Besides, DC Urban Moms and Dads (DCUMD) message board works for a city where every third child lives in the poverty. While the active users of the site mostly come from the District’s tony 20016 zip code, and their average family budget is higher than $133,000. Unfortunately, DCUMD now has morphed into name-calling, judging and all out war between mothers of DC residence

I live in a society of “misfits”. Money is everything in the society I live in. Good hearted people are never shown to have as much value or worth as those with the biggest banks. In many ways people who fight the hardest to win, ends up coming up short due to the price tags. I constantly feel like I am in the middle of these battles. I was never a fan of conformity, it always made “different” bad, I don’t agree with that, the world needs mavericks.

In the first episode of The Ascent of Money, a man by the name of Niall Ferguson was set out to explain how powerful money was. Money has the ability to turn you into a powerful individual, but it can also crush you. Like Ferguson stated, “the power of finance is everywhere we look and it affects all of our lives”. Everyone needs to eat, everyone needs a place to live, and everyone needs transportation to and from work and school. We all need money to provide for products and services we use on a daily basis and that is what Ferguson is trying to get across. We can’t escape the the use of money.
