Question

I just attached the post#3. But, I do not know it was correct. It was jsut my thought..If I did wrong, just let me know please.

Bog post #3

In Paul Krugman's essay, he talks about 'inequaility' and also, he says the matter of living standards. But, I don't know what is the standrad for. I don't believe there is the standard for people. Every person has their own standard, and each of them is different. And 'inequality'... I guess people probably know the world is not fair. Unfortuantely it is the result of capitalism. But I also think why rich people get more benefirs than other people even though they do not work hard. why are they not affected by inequality like lower classes... because they have money. However, it doesn't mean that they are happy. Ithe 'who built the pyramids', Michael is not really happy.But, there are many people who enjoy their life even thogh they struggle for living.
I agree with inequality is unfair. But it can't make people unhappy. In the movie 'Born rich', I don't really remember the name... some of they say, they are not always happy but they have a lot of money and can get everything they want.

Bolg post #4 Part of my draft...

It is familiar sights what many black people are working in McDonalds, Burger kings or Wendys’ wages are not really high in those places. In the other hand, most of employees on Wall Street are not black, their wages are higher that other workers. Is it just completely coincidental? It seems that Wall Street does not want to accept black people to work on that place because the skin color is not white.

To get a job, for job seekers, people think there are some important things such as a degree, certificates or licenses, and those things are usual requirements to be hired by firms. However, some people whose skin is black have to consider something more than others. In Johnny R. Williams’ text ‘ In job hunt, College Degree Can’t Close Racial Gap ‘it says “Similarly, Barry Jabbar Sykes, 37, who ahs a degree in mathematics from Morehouse College, a historically black college in Atlanta, now uses Barry J. Sykes in his continuing search for an information technology position, even though he has gone by Jabbar his whole life.” Barry does not seem special, he is just ordinary person who has a college degree, but to obtain an opportunity to be hired, what he has to do is tougher than white males.
