Need help!! So basically I have to write a essay on the social Injustice issues but I want to know which is a better topic to write it on and also on which topic it is easier to write

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

The given topic are the following but I can also write instead of that topic thou

OpenStudy (capnkookcx):

So I do get that you have to write on Injustice issues but what do you mean which topic is better to write it on? and then maybe I'll understand the other question

OpenStudy (kenljw):

In 1940 less than 5% of populace had a 4 year degree or higher and the rest of the populace was able to work and have a good middle class income. Today 28,8% have a 4 year degree or higher while 20% don't graduate from High School. This disparity in education is natural if you just consider IQ and not economic oppression which some blame. My Uncle had to leave school, in the 30's, in the third grade due to brain damage due to high fever. He was able to work two jobs most of his life, one in the steel mills, and raise 4 girls. These opportunities are not there for normal and lower IQ people anymore with the wages paid for lower level jobs. I realize the top 20% of the populace pay 85% of the taxes but the other end can't pay taxes because they barely have enough to live on. I suspect the % of 4 years degrees or higher will eventually saturate at about 40% corresponding to the upper IQ spectrum leaving 50% having to eek out a living, 10% of the populace is on SSD and SSI because their not able to work in today's urban environment. 150 years ago everyone was able to work on farms and some industries being able to support a family and take care of their own disabled. The top 20% make more than $170,000 per year while those on SSD and SSI make $12,000 per year and the rest in between more toward the low end. I really can't say this is social injustice but it definitely is an injustice of nature.

so basically i have to choose a topic from one of them but also can choose instead it

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

But can someone help me with find a good and easy topic

OpenStudy (kenljw):

What I gave was under capitalism and wealth gap. This country was founded on a democratic republic under laws and capitalism. Up to the 20th century capitalism worked fine as the populace spread west and everyone was able to a place to live and their own homes were their workshop, like farming and logging. In the later half the 20th century the vast majority became employees and capitalism doesn't really fit in a country were most people work for someone else. We all hear where someone is able to start a business and become successful but they really are few. In our present environment we are better to become socialistic, like the EU, but this country's business model will not allow it and the populace are brain washed, that's why you have the Affordable Care Act in stead of free socialized medicine as most other countries.

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

lol I just need the topic

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

You should generally choose a topic you like or are interested in... There are so many options you can choose from.. It's not a matter of what topic is the easiest, it depends really.. on what you're the most passionate/knowledgeable about... and if not, which topic has the most information about so you can include examples to further prove your argument and support your thesis/main ideas and themes in the essay. This is completely up to you Lol.

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

The US was not founded on capitalism, nor has the US ever held a capitalistic system. If you want to see what 'real' capitalism is, study up on Austrian economics. Keynesian policies and tons of corporatism is the exact opposite of capitalism, and that is the system the US currently has. The EU does not have free health care system, either. It is payed for through excessive taxation and is beyond inferior to the US's privatized health care system. For example, it took my grandpa almost two years to get his knee surgery in Germany. In the US he would of gotten it done within the first month. Ironically, countries like Great Britain are actually having to privatize some of their health care due to the excessive waiting lists. The US was thriving in its early days because of fewer regulations and taxes. Companies could actually afford to expand in the states instead out sourcing their locations to Cambodia, Vietnam, India, etc. Socialism has yet to sustain a country. "If we cannot all we be rich, lets all be poor" An injustice? How exactly? If someone works their *** off through elementary, middle, and high school getting phenomenal grades, play sports etc and one day is accepted into an Invy league college, and goes onto getting a Master's or Ph.D in Neuroscience or mechanical engineering, why should they be forced to subsidize the people that did not do their best throughout school/college? Why should they pay for someone else's failures when they worked their tail off to get to their $100,000 job? The expected level of education has risen because the value of a education decreases. E.g the more people with a HS education, the less it will be worth. This is 'common sense' You do realize IQ is not an accurate representation of someones intelligence, right? They are socially and culturally biased. Your intelligence is not predetermined, you have the ability to learn. Even the slowest of the slow. Raising taxes on the wealthy will not help either, that has been done under four different presidential administrations and every single time it has been done the over all revenue is actually decreased. Why? Because anyone with wealth is smart enough to place it in a bank in another nation where it will not be taxed like crazy. Decrease the cost of living. Not increase the minimum wage, not tax the wealthy, and definitely do not create anymore 'anti-poverty' programs. Free the market and allow small businesses to compete with corporations. Corporations and the State are the problem. Corporations lobby for regulations to get rid of the competitors, and play the enemy when it comes to the minimum wage, which has been proven to fail (Seattle for example). Regulations, minimum wage laws, higher taxes on businesses, just destroy the rich corporation's competition. They get more customers, and more money, The only way to reduce the inequality is to free the market. There is great proof in the legalization of the marijuana market. That in it's self has done more damage to the drug cartels than any government program. The same thing will happen when we legalize the markets by getting rid of regulations, the minimum wage, and for a moderate stand point reduce the taxes on everybody greatly.

John Handwingspan was the weathiest man in the colonies and the reason his name is first and big is because he wanted the King to know he's against him. We say we don't have nobility in our country but what is nobility but the wealthy and educated which our founders were. The basic principle of capatalism is having capatial to do the work for you through investment. This worked well the first 100 years because people migrated west obtaining propery in which they could invest in and make a profit. Today people gain intellectual property through their education but still have to work for someone else, unlike the first 100 years. As for even the lower IQ can get a education through hard work and study,true but generally they will become "C" students and fill lower level jobs. You still must recognize the top 25 % IQ have today gotten 28.8 % with 4 year degree or higher and even among them are C students. I basically sugget the upward mobility model in our society is only for those who have been blessed with an inate ability and even them may be somewhat oppressed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First off, do not act like anyone in the west is oppressed. That's laughable, and frankly demeans the people that truly do face oppression. Nobility is a bad thing? Privileges do not just appear out of thin air. They are earned somewhere down the line. Although anyone and everyone can attend college if they really want to. Even if you do not come from wealth like the majority of people, you can become employed, join the military, get an athletic scholarship, etc and have your college paid for. My family would never in a million years be able to send me to college. Thus I'm busting my *** off now as acquiring tens of thousands of dollars in student loans, is not on my list of things to do. Not at all. In terms of lifestyle, assets, and disposable income - the wealthiest founders like GW were upper-middle class at best. And people like TJ died in bankruptcy. Only about 23% of the delegates were professionals, most were farmers that made a couple bucks a week (66% made 0.50-5.00 weekly). Well education has been a debate among capitalists for a while now. Many want to eliminate public education because of this problem. Ironically England became the most literate nation through a private system. There is a big myth today that in order to be successful you need education, and college. But this isn't entirely true. Many people with a college degree are working low level jobs. This wasn't the case 100 years ago because people took apprenticeships, where people worked as they learned under a job. This was like college, but more efficient because you gain job experience at the same time. The unions have made it hard to do this simply because you need a licenses, or some sort of degree to get a higher paying job. A lot has to do with the government, not capitalism. Become C students? Nonsense. If you want something, you will get it. If you are 'comfortable' being an average student, you choose to remain an average student. Your families wealth or lack of wealth does not equate to academic success unless the rich are able to buy out their professors. People from low income households are more likely to do poorly due to being grown up in mediocrity. If you grow up in a household with very little pressure to do well in school, are you going to do well? Compare that to a wealthy family that expects success out of their children/siblings... Two very different environments. Not at all. The upward mobility movement is for those that realize they will have to actually do a bit of work (gasp) to go from class C to class A, and realize they will not be handed anything - they will have to take it. However those that do not really want to be successful, will fail. As they should. And will probably blame their genetics or lack of 'natural ability' when in actuality all they had to do was work for it. Life isn't fair and no one owes anyone anything. This entitlement generation is killing what once was the greatest country on earth. You don't magically acquire a 100k job. You work your tail off to get it, and you work your tail off to keep it. I'm not exactly sure what you personally advocate for but handing poor person x scholarship simply for being poor will not do anyone, any favors. Especially considering the the chance of poor kid x dropping out is much higher than wealthy kid y.

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

I need help with it thou

OpenStudy (kenljw):

In stead of opinon I prefer to use dada, In 1940 less than 5% had a 4 year degree or higher, today its 28.8%. In 1900 child labor laws were passed prohibiting childred from going the old path of on the job training, in fact classes designed to prepare them for factory work. In 1965 my father took a company exam to get hired, he score 100%. The company thought there was something wrong with the test and had a engineer take it, he got 85 %. My father was born in 1915 and went to a one room school house to the eigth grade. He became a auto machanic and was in the motor pool during WWII, ather he earned a living in various ways and even study electronics and used it to repair the first TV's in the 50's. The reason I mention all this is companny's don't test future empoyees anymore but use academic credentials, though testing goes on, SAT for college GRE for graduate work, this itself should tell you there's some more gifted than others. You might be able to take civil service test, FCC licensing, even the bar exam to become a lawer as Lincoln did. The claim of telling a child you can be and do anything to want is, at least in the reality I know, a total misconception if not a out right lie. Your separation of what one can accomplish from their aptitude is also imaginary. Can a Down Syndroms child be a college graduate, no, but do admit that recently with a lot of work done by them and others they can take care of themselves and communicate. You say that an extreme case, but comparing the ability of a IQ of 100, average, with someone of 130 is just as extreme, Oppression comes about in many way's, most people think its likened to slavery which gave room and board for your forced labor and not givien any chance for advancement. This is generally what man means by oppression, what man does to another, and it take many forms. Historically addictive substances have been used to make a profit and somewhat control people by governments and individual profiteers. Substances such as sugar, coffee, opium, alcohol and any number of other things that people enjoy and crave. Some of these things seem so common today that you wouldnt' think of them as being oppressive, but generally just being alive and the need for food and water has oppressed requirinng man to seek out relief in this world. We have come a long way and sadly the world being created doesn't allow for everyone to survive but only those that are adaptable, and form of man made environment and natual selecton proforming eugenics. But regardess there'll will always be those above and below and it may not be oppression but it seems like it sometimes.

Theoretical scenarios will never be equivalent learning to real world experience. Most of those 'so-called real world scenarios' are not even appliable. They do to a degree, but they also go off of volunteer work and prior occupational experience. Besides even the 'slow' kids can counter their 'slowness' by studying more often. That's not true, actually. There have been several individuals with down syndrome that have graduated college and in the US alone there is over 100 colleges (that i'm aware of, there may be even more) that have programs for severely cognitively challenged students. I'll say it again, IQ tests do not accurately measure intelligence. They are very biased both culturally and socially as well as excludes wisdom, common sense, etc.. The only thing ts measures is how well a child is likely to do in a formal academic environment. One of my Australian friends that recently migrated to the states had to take some memory testing along with a IQ test. This is a very intelligent women, however she does not know much about the history or culture of the US as she was not born or raised her, and thus she scored incredibly low (like an 82 IIRC). How is she supposed to know "H. A. Rey is to Curious George as _______ is to the constitution?"? Exactly she would not. However she will be scored the same way as people that have lived here their entire lives. Not at all. Even the poorest of the poor in the US/UK/Canada/Etc have access to water, food, education, social services, government programs, and even luxuries such as TV and internet as (believe?) I've already stated. That is not comparable to the oppression women face in Sudan. That is not even in the same ball park. But if you want to talk about what does control people, that is dependency. Dependency on government and the need for others to help you is what controls people which is exactly why plantation owners would not allow their slaves to do anything - they were not allow to educate themselves, learn to grow food, make clothing, etc. The owners wanted them hooked so if they somehow managed to escape (many did not because they knew they could not survive alone) they would fail. Compare that to the slaves in the West Indies that had many other responsibilities like making their own clothing, farmed their own food, etc and when freed, became very successful. One group was dependent, one was not. Alcohol, Sugar, etc is anything but oppressive. No one forces you to consume any of those products and there are literally millions of people in the US that avoid them entirely. No one is at fault for your addictions except you. And again, someone's IQ does not tell me how much heart they have, or how much they desire to succeed.

OpenStudy (kenljw):

My understanding is you can take the IQ of a baby or at least a very young child. In doing this it generally not culturally biased, but just a child interaction with its environment. The debate on wheter one person is more gifted than other seems futile when its so obvious. Yes a low IQ person can be educated to a high level but it requires much work by the individual and those teaching, but the way our educational system is set up that isn't really possible to many, generally what's done is try to just teach some basics on living. As to the heart of an individual, this is generally inate but can either be nuurished or crust by the environment. I understand that there are many people that really get started in life, there are different types of oppression some physical and others emotional and mental. The IQ scores in the US have increased 18 points in the last 70 years, Napoleon was the average hieght of a Europen at the time, 5' 4'', while the US was taller. The difference in hieght between North and South Koreans is 3'' and there from the same stoke. The environment play's a large part of our physical and mental ability's but there still is a hereditary component. There was a child raised in England in the 18 century that could write and speak ancient Greek by the age of 4, at 12 he had two PHDs. Such things are rare and could only happen when enviroment meets the abllity of a person, and sometimes an individual can overcome their environment but this also is rare. I was liston two people in a bar once, and they were getting down on those on welfare. I looked at them and said you look down so you can see how high you are, try looking up and see how far down you are.

Those born without natural talent in academics can counter it with studying. I've never been very smart academically speaking - especially when it comes to mathematics and science. Because of this, I usually spend several hours a week going through my notes and text books on my own time, making sure I know the material by heart. Because of this I generally score quite well. Sure I wasn't born with 'natural academic intelligence', however between classes, work, and extracurriculars I can can find at least 5-6 hours to sit down and study, and unless you are having to work 15 hours a day at the steel mill (lol), you can too (I'm using "you" in general terms to whomever may read this. Not just YOU specifically lol). You admit learning is possible with work (gasp!!). There are no excuses. Teachers/professors are not there to hold your hand throughout school. They are there to teach you and progress you to the next grade. Unfortunately some students can not learn at ____ percentile and will have to do additional learning on their on. In 2015 there is no excuse to not learn on your own time with the resources and utilities people have in the west. Are you assuming I believe every 12 year old can hold two Ph.Ds? In todays world with the curriculum and experience one needs to even hold a bachelors degree, I would never in a million years envision a child holding two. My point is anyone and everyone in America can get a basic 4 year degree if they set their mind to it. I fail to see your point with that remark? Welfare was designed as emergency aid for x amount of days, nowadays it has become a way of life for so many people in so many countries. It is even being advocated to use welfare to lift people out of poverty, which ironically has done the contrary. Giving an able bodied man/woman handouts produces nothing good. You are paying them to fail. The more kids they produce, the more often the father leaves, the more debt they accumulate, the more often x happens, the more aid they receive and the more they excel, the more money they have taken away. Expecting people to want to succeed under this type of system is illogical, and goes against human nature.

OpenStudy (kenljw):

Well I never said human nature was good, in fact following the path of least resistance is basic human nature. You expect those higher to follow their human natrue and yet expect those lowers not. Scriptuarally man is to become more than biological, animal, which requires a basic human character change. Everyone can come to have good thoughts and behaviors if that is the enfices of theaching and it is generally taught at home and within ones religion. Our debate on academanian aptitude seems a little off for this site bit its not. Resently I read in the news that 20 % of woman get sexually accosted or raped in college, this data shows how attached man is to their biological, animal, character but yet you expect those with lower aptitute to put all their energy and time in a academic advancement when they really know their going to be on the bottom of the pile anyways. I would never tell anyone to give up hope or not to strive to advancement, like my ADHD friend that does will acedemincal as long as shes on her meds but without them she really can't concentrate and gets frustrated and angree. Poeple have all sorts of disadvantages some can realilistically overcome others either have to be accepted while awaiting for a miracle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Except those statistics are incorrect and the methodology used was faulty. Two colleges surveyed a pretty small group of women, asked them unrelated questions, and tried to decipher from their responses whether they were raped or not. Ironically when the 'raped' women were later asked directly, the vast majority of 'victims' did not consider themselves raped at all. IIRC the most recent FBI statistics came up with approximately 1-in-40 women are raped annually. No they will not. If you refuse to study because you have made up the decision in your mind that you will always be at the bottom, then you have no place being in an academic environment. I'm referring to able bodied mentally healthy individuals. Not severely injured or severely ill people.
