Galbraith suggests that America is now an affluent society. I say that a country in debt cannot truly be affluent, we have great potential in the matter. Even though the country has potential if the citizens that make up the country aren't financially abundant can the country be. If there are people sleeping in alleys and dumpsters versus people have a multitude of beds in their home can you say the country as a whole are wealthy? Signs of affluence would be property, liquid assets, and money. The results of affluence have mostly been corruptivity and power over those who have less.




I very much agree that the government should afford every able body with a opportunity to work. There are many people who would like to work but due to their social class, race, lack of experience, and many other factors they are discriminated against. The livelihood of your family could be at the hands of an employer and they are judged based on things they may not necessarily even be able to change. I think that if we are truly a country of equal opportunity then that should be proven and not just taunted.

Plato &. Freud

PLATO QUESTIONS: 1. Consider the issue of what it is we know when we rely on our senses. Is sensory knowledge as unreliable as Plato thinks it is? Personally, I believe that each individual's perception is based on a number of factors. Those factors become how we analyze the things we sense which in fact can be from a faulty point of view.  2. Are we materialistic when we praise sense perception? What are the alternatives to any such materialism arising from overvaluing (or solely valuing) sense experience? In opinion, I believe that our praise of sense perception would be more narcissistic than materialistic. I think it is the cause if lack of conscience knowledge. 3. If we could perceive the world beneath sense experience, what would it be like? I find it hard to answer this question as I can not predict a different reality. I would guess that our perception would rathe be based off of facts and conscience which I believe would create a more just world.

Clarify in what way the “unnatural distinctions” affecting women in society cause them to behave as Wollstonecraft says they do. Do you feel it is a genuine cause- and-effect relationship? Women in society are prevented from fullfilliing their moral duties. 4. Describe Diversity in Schools according to Kozol and what your definition would be. Including present day civil right issues in lessons, have a mix of ethnicities together. 5.
