Welfare is government support for the citizen and residents of society. It may be provided to people of any income level, as with social security, but usually, it is intended to ensure that the poor can meet their basic human needs such as food and shelter. The Nordic welfare model is the most expensive, most comprehensive model, funded by a high tax. A welfare state may be a reflection of the relationship between a country’s government and its citizens, it […]
Progressivism was an era where more people were trying to protect social welfare, promote moral improvement, create economic reform, and foster efficiency because of the events of The Gilded Age, the turn of the 20th century, and the Chicago’s World’s Fair. These were all created to fix the problems of rapid urbanization, rapid industrialization, racial discrimination, and discrimination against immigrants. One of the causes of Progressivism was the Gilded Age. During the Gilded Age things appeared great in the US […]

Get help with your assigmentWhen Franklin D. Roosevelt was nominated president in 1933, he acted fast to provide relief to those who were in need. On June 8, 1934, Roosevelt sent a message to congress that guaranteed a plan for social insurance as a safety net “against the hazards and vicissitudes of life.” Then, only fourteen months later, on August 14, 1935, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Social security Bill in into law (Martin and Weaver). The Social Security Bill enabled several states to […]
The business of insurance is to bring together the persons with common insurance interests sharing the same risks, collect the share or contribution (called premium) from all of them and pay out the compensations (called claims) to those who suffer from the risks. This sharing business benefits the society at large by spreading the losses of an individual over the group of individuals who are exposed to similar risks. People, who suffer loss, get relief because at least part of […]
Answer: The Role of ministry of finance is to prepare the yearly government budget, in coordination with the other ministries and public enterprises. Thus the main motive is to collect money in form of tax from the people and then spend it again back on people. This is a kind of process where money is collected from rich and spent on the general public. While the tax money is collected in the government treasury they are mostly spent on public […]

Graduating college has tons of benefits outside of a higher income. Those benefits are but not limited to, better health, reduced poverty, and better opportunities for the parents and their children. Using that logic, the United States government should be more willing to encourage and support single mothers to complete college and earn a degree. Instead single-parents are struggling to maintain college because they receive very little support while in school. I am going to explore the reasons as to […]
Activism is defined as an action or a specific policy of utilizing and using very dynamic campaigning and marketing to bring about political and social change within the economy and the world as a whole. I believe that the history that companies have in activism is that they use their exploits to a full advantage. When it comes to activism, I believe that the concept itself is similar to how one uses a marketing tool (snapchat, instagram, and facebook) to […]
Minimum wage legislation emphasizes the importance of establishing a price floor within the labor market so that each worker is guaranteed a minimum income regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or level of education and specialization. Two primary categories of argumentation in favor of minimum wage exist today: a rights-based argument, which views minimum wage laws as an issue of human rights; and an argument based on favorable outcomes, which justifies an increase in the minimum wage because of the potential […]
Minimum Wage Imagine an ideal reality in which people no longer had to live with a handful of roommates in order to maintain an apartment or needed to work multiple jobs in order to support themselves or their families. Would that not be a wonderful reality? Maybe that reality could be brought a step closer by tackling the topic of minimum wage. The minimum wage is, by law, the lowest amount an employee is required to be paid for hours […]

The idea of the absolute basic income, given to all citizens at the government (or all individual citizens), was first demonstrated near the middle of the nineteenth century. But long before that there were thoughts of the so-called nominal income, the thought of the one-off contract and the purpose of the cultural contract (which however is the significant feature of all modern welfare states, with the insurances for and against unemployment, sickness, parenthood, accidents, old age and so forth). This […]
As people, we are faced with the possibility of loss in our everyday lives. Be it a car accident, illness, Property loss, or even death. As early as the millennia B.C, modern profit insurance was demonstrated in a contract of a loan of trading capital to traveling merchants. The first insurance company formed in the United States was in Charleston, South Carolina during 1732. Later in 1752, Benjamin Franklin helped spread insurance by creating the Philadelphia Contributionship which ensured that […]
Using the data I collected from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, World Bank, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Trading Economics websites, I created a few graphs based on the information I found. The data indicates that the average unemployment rates were fairly low in 2006. There was actually a decrease in the average of new jobs created each month from the previous year. The numbers fell from 165,000 new jobs created each month in 2005 to 149,000 new […]

To what extent did New Deal legislation represent a change in American government? This question is particularly important because it shows how the effects and the preventative masseurs of the past directly influence the way things work today. How the Social Security Act, the development of the State Welfare Programs, and Industrial Pensions and Welfare Capitalism stabilized the economy, protect the individual US citizen, and prevent another economic disaster from occurring. The Great Depression was the worst economic disaster in […]

Even though the U.S. is arguably the richest country in the world, a considerable part of its population suffers from the problem of poverty. The current paper explores the causes of such poverty. It is demonstrated that there exists a variety of contributory causes that together frequently lead the poor to preserving their socioeconomic status quo or becoming even poorer. One of the significant causes of poverty is the lack of access to college education. Generally speaking, the access to […]
In the past decade, the percentage of women who have joined the workforce in the United States has greatly increased, almost doubling from the 1960s to the 2010s (Shin: Oct 9, 2018). Even though there is a spike in women working, why is it that women represent the highest proportion of the population in poverty? This phenomenon is referred to as the ‘feminization of poverty’. Feminization of poverty is the reality that of all people who are below the poverty […]

In this current time, age discrimination has increased reported incidents around the world. For many, this type of discrimination is hampering the rights of employees or artists who were given less priority to claim a certain privilege or opportunity. This is due to the preference of institutions and groups towards the younger generation who are more active and cooperative. The aging population is concerned that this type of discrimination can significantly affect their emotional integrity due to the intimidating factors […]
Every city, in every state, in every country, in every continent has one thing in common: a large population of homeless people. The homeless are categorized into their own social group by most. Those more fortunate created this identity and do nothing to help them. Under the government’s close supervision, this needs to stop happening. It is their responsibility to ensure that each United States citizen is able to practice the right to live in peace and feel as if […]
DREAMers and MS-13 are two completely different groups of people, yet they are grouped together through one huge controversy: illegal immigration. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, “[an] illegal immigrant [is] someone who lives or works in another country when they do not have the legal right to do this.” There are countless questions and issues that arise from discussing illegal immigration, but one of the biggest issues right now in this country is whether illegal immigrants should receive government benefits […]
Deep in the heart of Texas, we find a melting pot of all different ethnicities. The United States of America is also a mixture with historical influence from many different countries as well as immigrants that help make this country great. However, it is when the balance of law-abiding citizens gets thrown out of whack by individuals entering the country illegally that we begin to experience issues. The rapidly growing Latino population within Texas is threatening to dramatically influence politics […]

In the last year, around forty-million […]
