Introduction
Hi my name is Robert Austin Lucas, I’m from a small town in
northern Kentucky and I came to Eastern because it wasn’t to big but it wasn’t
the small town I’m from. My first thoughts about the class was that there was a
lot of homework and that it was more like a history class than an English
class.
Government
I think that our U.S. Government is about as close to perfect
as government will ever get. We as “The People” will never fully know what goes
on in politics and in the end really have no hand in the decision that the
government makes. The best part about our government is that we aren’t a
dictatorship like other countries and we are, at least, able to vote in members
of congress and presidency. Voting is our only role in our current government, that
and paying taxes. The ideal government consists of many people in charge to
make decisions, not one person as there is in a dictatorship. The ideal
government consists of loyal and trustworthy representatives which we don’t have
and never will have.
Wealth and poverty
John Kenneth Galbraith said that it is the responsibility of
the wealthy nations to help out the poorer nations in order to make this a
better world. I agree to the fullest that it is our responsibility as a wealthy
nation to help those in need. It is also the responsibility of the poor nation
to accept our help and to follow our lead to bring them out of poverty.
Robert B.
Reich said that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
This statement is totally true because the poor can’t help themselves and the
rich only help themselves. The rich are set on making themselves wealthier and
more powerful, while allowing the poverty stricken areas of the world suffer
when they could use that wealth to bring someone out of poverty. Some of the poor
are so poor that they cant even help themselves out of their slump and need
someone to give them a hand and that is why it is our responsibility as a rich
nation to help those in need.
