a talk about inequalities
so i found a site online that talks about just inequalities in the united states. it is a written version of a speech by janet yellen, who is an economist. this article talks about different forms of inequalities in our country. the main theme is of money. there is job and money problems in our country and it affects almost everything about our lives. its clear that if someone doesnt have as much money as someone else it could be harder for them to do some of the things that people with money can do. without money it is hard for a person, or if the community is bad, it is hard for that society to function up to its potential. this can all go with the idea of libraries. in a wealthy community it is much easier to find the money to build or maintain a library and its resources. in a more rundown or less fortunate society it is not easy to find money to build a library or to maintain it.

ReplyDeleteI agree with your point that it is very difficult for communities and individuals that are struggling financially to make significant financial progress. Your article stresses that there is a strong link between lack of education and financial instability. Generally it is tough to find a high paying job with little or no education. You could research this issue by talking with people in low income communities in an attempt to determine what aspects make it challenging for them to seek higher education. It would be interesting to see if technological inequalities play any role in inhibiting their education.
