After I read interviews, I choose the Richard Lieberman’s with Daisy Kinard because I like her personality. In the interview, an interviewer, Richard, is trying to find the reason why she moves to New York, and what her family and she do. Also, he seems to want to know about her thought about her rough life, and her expectation before she comes to New York. I guess Richard find out the life of black people. Interviewee, Daisy Kinard, has been in really hard time. She can’t get an opportunity to study she wants. She has to work ten or twelve hours a day to get 50 or 75 cents that she says a lot. For better life, her family moves to New York, but it is not the New York she hears about from white people. For the white people, New York is a great place, but not for black like Daisy. She says in interview, “You have the rich, the upper middle class, the working class, the lower working class.” She realizes her fantasy is just fantasy. She is really disappointed when she got New York first time. But, she seems to be good when Richard interviews her because she can meet many kinds of people – integration.

. Paul Krugman shows that there is a big gap between lower class people and rich people in the book. I agree with his idea. Inequality is a serious problem in society now more than before. It causes some problems such as dividing people’s class, and loosing their opportunities. People have to consider about inequality But, I’m wondering that if the gap is reduced, all people can get satisfaction? Did rich people do some thing wrong with others? Of course, we take care of inequality to reduce the gap between them. But, it is possible that maybe inequality won’t be disappeared totally. I believe that we also consider about what we can do. Each person holds each position. So, people should do their best in their fields. It can reduce people’s negative thoughts of inequality. Inequality is a big problem now. In my opinion, we should take care of inequality objectively.

In 'Who Built The Pyramids?', MikeLefevre says him 'working class'. He works really hard for his family, but he doesn't have time to spend with their family. He wants to his son to go to college and get an official job which he is proud of. In her other hand, the movie ' Born Rich', they have never worked hard, they can do and buy anything what they want. They don't worry about money at all. They have no idea about sociey becuase they don't need to know. It doesn't affect their life at all. People, who rich, maybe ideal model what Mike wants his son to be. Actually, many 'working class' people want to be like them. Most people don't want to worry about money, peoepl want to get a big house, treating their family good. However, only few people achieve their dream. Ironically, people sometimes blame rich people, but they really want to live like them actually.

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.
