Social Welfare Institutions

I felt so sorry for those people who were hired to work for such low pay. 30 us dollars for two weeks! Thats crazy. Americans are paid at least more than 100 us dollars per week. It is really unfair how they don’t even get near our minimum wage amount. That is why those countries […]

Today in class we talked about how the media holds information to the public in America. It seems as if they are only allowing us to hear what they think we should hear. By hiding information, it seems like they are trying to set our minds a certain way and make us view specific situations […]

Today in class, we talked about world views and mechanistic world views. Through our reading, the ruining of the earth is like someone killing their own mother. This can be applied to what we learned in class today. We need to find a way where we can work together with nature, not harming it b/c […]
