However, economic inequality is not a new concept. Miles Corak points out in his 2012 essay the importance of understanding the dynamics of inequality over multiple generations and how this shapes current and future inequality. Corak highlights the disconnect in American society between believing one has “equality of opportunity,” and as a result, social mobility and capital, versus actually having access to economic opportunity greater than that of one’s parents. The interactions between the

The Significance of Women During Colonial America Life during colonial America was bleak; in many colonies such as Jamestown or Plymouth, from fewer than 150 people, a new community an ocean away from their old homes had to be created. Factors like agriculture, shelter, and economy were no exception to the long list of necessary things that needed to be developed. At first, the colonial people continued to abide by the same customs that they had back in Europe. As time passed, though, they began
