In the article "The Use of Global Poverty" it tells us how people and in society live in different class. And how poverty is function with Americans for example the benefits between the poor and the rich people. There are different prospective that tells us about poverty and wealthy towards the western companies. And gender is reflected towards genders and how men get paid more then women do. Other countries produce low production the low wadges the are not high in there education end up being jobless. They point out the poor countries are china and Nigeria but china growing because the production of gas that they produce. The whole thing is related towards the world poverty and how the lower class brings towards the western production.
What can relate towards the article of The Use of Global Poverty is the video of People like Us: Social Class of Society. How it shows and proves and describes how class is in america and how we are surround in society. For Americans now having money it means having freedom to create your own living which proves where you fit in. This video proves how different people feel like with having family members or relatives in higher classes. Some in the middle class feel like people that are in higher class they feel ignored. When they feel like they do not bring the society attention like their not happy of where they are and where they stand. There was a women there who was in a lower class that try to change her self to a upper classes. Society always wanting to be accepted by everyone because you want to fit in with everyone else.
All this class leads towards everyone background with their family and education and also culture. Whatever you grow as a child especially your family background is what kind of class you are in the upper class or the lower class. Everyone is not the same but it proves who you are and what you are surrounded in society. In chapter nine of class and global inequality explains how Marx and Weber went through power in society.
Its crazy how all those rich people claim to create jobs, when what usually happens is that the rich people create jobs, not for Americans, but for people in other countries. That way, they keep costs low while keeping profits high.

I agree with you the rich people usually do create the jobs but for the lower classes to work for them. But it seems just because their in higher class they feel more control in a way in my point of view.
ReplyDeleteAlso Egilitis states that if democrats had the collective conscious of global wealth. The global wealth gap is still incredibly large. The rich countries get more rich and the poor stay poor unfortunately. She goes to mention the article "The Underseeing Poor" to back up her claims.
ReplyDeleteI do understand your point Otniel the democrats do have collective towards global wealth. But in society we make what level of class we are in which reflects towards what we talk about in class.
ReplyDeleteBasically people who have white collar jobs (Typically Caucasian race) look down on their blue collar employees and I think the reason behind it is structural mobility.
ReplyDeleteDon't you think we are being manipulated to believe that our problems are caused by the wealthy and not by our social values as a whole?... I don't know about you, but I would love to be filthy rich and I believe I would behave in the same manner as the wealthy do to protect my wealth. I think sometimes those on the bottom of the ladder will always complain about sour grapes when they realize their dreams are unattainable. Chapter 9 talks about Meritocracy, the belief that one will be rewarded for their abilities, however, we are socially brainwashed by this notions and instead we need to realize that the circumstances we were born into plays a bigger role on who we are.
