Power Is Money; Money Is Power
... to make it.
OJ Simpson's trial is another example of money changing everything. If
OJ Simpson had not been a retired professional football player, then the trial
would have been completely different. Because OJ was rich, he was able to
afford a very good team of lawyers. An average person would have had much less
of a chance at being found innocent, especially considering the weight of the
evidence. Supported by his money OJ's case became a media event.
When OJ had the trial, there was no way it could be completely fair. It
was unlikely that there was not going to be a fan of OJ on the jury. Also,
because he was rich, OJ was given better privileg ...

Fiscal Retrenchment And Privatization
... cut backs could be made and services replaced. In Oakland, the city government closed a fire station and four branch libraries, reduced the police departments money towards investigations, reducing after school programs, eliminating over 100 city jobs, and much more. The idea of volunteerism became a good way to cut back on paying for services, but still keeps the service going. This was used in helping keep things like neighborhood security and libraries in service. Although the volunteerism was a good way to help, the most significant change was the privatization of services.
Privatization “may well be seen by the future historians as one of the most import ...

Farm Subsidies - A Necessary Evil?
... the American farmer arose in the 1920s, and various
methods were introduced to help solve them. The United States still
disagrees on how to solve the continuing problem of agricultural
overproduction. In 1916, the number of people living on farms was at its
maximum at 32,530,000. Most of these farms were relatively small (Reische
51). Technological advances in the 1920's brought a variety of effects. The
use of machinery increased productivity while reducing the need for as many
farm laborers. The industrial boom of the 1920s drew many workers off the
farm and into the cities. Machinery, while increasing productivity,
was very expensive. Demand for food, though, s ...

Removal Of GM Jobs In Flint
... for the community. Members of the panel included
Bill Donahue (pro-opportunity), Larry Thompson (pro-opportunity), Dorothy
Reynolds (catastrophe supporter) and Ruben Burks (catastrophe supporter).
In the beginning, there were many advantages of having GM as the
dominate employer in Flint. The quantity of GM jobs in Flint provided for an
economic boom town in the 1960's and 1970's. Money from General Motors trickled
down from the workers to every part of the economy of Genesse county. The
population was on the rise which meant more homes, roads, and businesses. It
was all to good to be true. When Roger Smith (then President of GM) decided to
relocate numerous j ...

US And Russia Relations After The Defeat Of The USSR:
... to help Russia. But why? Why the United States wanted
to help Russians? And I think the answer to that is very simple: the United
States realized that America and Russia must not think of each other as natural
enemies, but must work together to make more peaceful world, even if they were
ready to destroy each other not that long ago. United States needed Russia as a
strong partner in the twenty first century.
Russia went through many changes in its economy since the Russian
Federation took over the Soviet Union. "An economy devoted almost entirely to
the production of military goods was forced to begin to provide what its
citizens demanded, not what its ruler ...

got hurt, got out of the way so some one else can take their place. Until a
group of upper class men and women had an idea to help the common worker.
Theses people where the progressives. Changing the way of business back
then was not an easy task, for the most part their was a laissez-faire
system or a hands- off approach to the way of business. The main theory
states that if government would not mess with them by making laws, the
strongest business will succeed and bring wealth into the whole country.
True the strongest business did bring in wealth to the country, but the
problem was, the working conditions. Some workers had to work in conditions

public policies. Now, Consumer Alert is the home to the spare time of over
6,000 volunteers. Each of these volunteers donate their valuable time to
Consumer Alert for the sole reason of upholding high ethics within the American

U.S. Wage Trends
... the list. Carnegie Mellon University reports, "recruitment of its software engineering students is up this year by over 20%." All engineering jobs are paying well; proving that highly skilled labor is what employers want! "There is clear evidence that the supply of workers in the [unskilled labor] categories already exceeds the demand for their services," says L. Mishel, Research Director of Welfare Reform Network.
In view of these facts, I wonder if these trends are good or bad for society. "The danger of the information age is that while in the short run it may be cheaper to replace workers with technology, in the long run it is potentially self-destructive bec ...
