Americans voters are the ones that put the politicians is power and are the ones who decide what they want. Most of the time citizens rather had chosen a mixed economy combining both public and private initiatives than having only a communism, anarchist or libertarian economy. Citizens have this concept because for centuries they have embraced the idea of individualism, where individuals are responsible for their outcomes or success. Americans do not want to use their power to create other economy than the one that they can take advantage.
Technically Americans like to have a mixed economy even though there is inequality. Income inequality is the most common inequality. Rich people are having more and are passing their fortune to their kids. These kids know how to navigate in the world of organized institutions because their parents are involved in all aspects of children’s life. Where as working class families, most children are not prepared for the world of organizations because kids are in their own world and parents in another. There is a big gap in lifestyle between the educated and uneducated. Is not because citizens have unequal opportunities, but the unequal circumstances. The richer class and the middle class have the same opportunity of succeeded, but because of competition, money, health family and other circumstances they get unequal results.
In 2011, there was a movement where it states that 1 percent of income earners have much to pay, but pay too little. Where as the 99 percent was paying more than the affluent Americans. This was a concern for many Americans because they thought that they are not getting the same rights. When the declaration proclaims all men to be created equal, it means that all regardless of th...

...socialism economy, where private individuals control investment in production and distribution of wealth, but at the same time the community decide what to make. Furthermore, in a libertarian is a radically different perspective, government should be limited and individuals should make decisions without government interfering. But in a mixed economy, government interferes in providing benefits to the people. For example, the government collects taxes in order to improve infrastructure and programs of welfare.
A market economy creates risks, insecurity and astonishing opportunities. That is why Americans believed that working hard is how they can succeed. Furthermore, they prefer a government that creates policies that offer more opportunities. Americans like to have a mixed economy combining private and public initiative because they can use it to their advantage.
History is the branch of knowledge dealing with past events. The past is neither the present nor the future. The historian’s task is to understand the past by analyzing the evidence given or written in the present. Thus, history as a way of knowing implies cause and effect through time. Another areas of knowledge related here is the human science. The human scientists study and interpret experiences, activities, constructs, and artifacts associated with human beings, attempt to expand and enlighten
The discipline of history and its study can have its origin traced to ancient Greece. Ironically, this detailed, research driven study along with all of its associated research methods had its humble beginnings rooted in story telling and fanciful tales designed for the enjoyment its population, not its education. Gradually, the people of Greece became aware of more than just their geographical and political surroundings, forcing the idea of history and how to understand it to evolved. From these
History is the study of the past, particularly on how it relates to humans. (Anderson, 2014) Traditionally, historians record past events and also attempted to answer historical questions through the study of written documents and oral accounts. In general, the sources of historical knowledge that historians consult can be separated into three distinct categories: what is written, what is said, and what is physically preserved. (Lemon, 1995) However, History does not rest solely on memory but on
History is an important aspect of life that effects everyday life for everyone, and there are many reasons for why it should be valued. Valuing history allows people to not repeat the same mistakes, and this can be applied in relation to preventing war as well as discrimination against minority groups; ensuring the Earth remains habitable and simply in preventing individual mistakes in everyday life. A common saying that most people would’ve heard before is that, ‘history repeats itself’, and it’s
The Objectivity of History The issues that are raised in this source by Marc Trachtenberg are is whether or not objectivity is still a relevant idea, and if it is not then is history in fact dying. Keith Jenkins' "What is History?," Carl Becker's "What are Historical Facts?" and Richard Evans' "In Defence of History" will be used to discuss and examine these issues. Marc Trachtenberg is questioning if objectivity is possible and desirable in today's society, and this is a question that many
The study of history would be incomplete without the use of theoretical approaches, which historians use to analyze documents and present their evidence. How a historian analyzes a document can shift subtly or drastically depending on the theoretical lens. Social history and cultural history are two separate approaches that influenced a wide variety of other sub-theory categories and many historians today. Though the two may seem similar, cultural history was developed as a response to the limitations
The Truth in History We are all taught essentially the same things in school. We learn of the presidents and what they did and when they did it. But we know, as adults, that we did not get all the facts or even a portion of the correct facts in regards to history. In the essay, "The Historian and His Facts," Edward Hallett Carr shares a bit of insight into the people who record history and write about it. We are given a deeper understanding of historians and just what it is they do and what
importance of history. Modernists, for example, completely reject history and see it as no importance, they believe that ‘if one is committed to the future, then why bother with the past?’ . However, if you were to ask a history student, whether the level GCSE, A-Level or even degree level, the answer would be varied. Just many of the few possible answers could be; that history is to facilitate others, and that studying it is a social responsibility to educate those that don’t. History teaches us empathy
The term “public history” is not often a term most people have in their vocabulary. Many everyday citizens would tell you that they don’t even understand the true definition of what public history is. Webster’s dictionary defines “public” as, ‘of or relating to most of the people of a country or state,’ and it defines “history” as, ‘the study of past events.’ So by the dictionary definition, it is the study of past events relating to most of the people of a country or state. One would agree with
Christian released “The Case for ‘Big History’” in 1990 as a response to what he considers the collective inability of historians to strike an effective balance between detail and generality in their work. A leading advocate for Big History, Christian contends historians must explore the past through a variety of scales that date back to the creation of the universe. Such an approach allows historians to better understand how different societies perceive time, frame history as a way to understand humankind’s
“History exists only when it is “made” by the historian.” (Vince, 65). According to R.W. Vince, it is very easy for researchers to get lost between “fact” and “interpretation” when documenting theatre history. Even when scholars uncover identical pieces of information, they may each have their own personal explanations as to why these facts exist. In turn, readers must exercise critical analysis when studying scholar’s research and not fall into the trap of viewing history from the author’s perspective
While interviewing one of the most popular history teachers on campus at Madera High school, many topics were discussed regarding his job and students today. Mr.Hinton has been a teacher for many years, so he understands the positives and negatives about history and how there are a lot of people that are that are stereotyped and misconcepted a lot in this world. Also, how its not right to treat people of color and non color and as human beings like bad and rude and all the humans beings and a lot
What is history? Should we study history? Who creates history? Is history relevant? The definition of history, is a question which has sparked international debate for centuries between the writers, readers, and the makers of history. It is a vital topic which should be relevant in our lives because it?s important to acknowledge past events that have occurred in our world that deeply influences the present. This essay will discuss what history is, and why we study it. History is the study
methods of collecting evidence and interpreting the past are essential to the study of history. These approaches are not static; they evolve as society and culture evolves, and evolution of approaches and methodology is vital to the continued study of history. The tradition of cataloging and referencing is the foundation of traditional history and this is their legacy to the modern practice.The new approaches of history have seen the value of borrowing from the knowledge, approaches, and concepts of other
possibilities.” Subsequently, if Founding Fathers, Sun Tzu wrote documents that fit the definition of being biased, does the document lose its value to historians? Is there a document that does not have bias? History has long been written and interpreted through biased opinions, however, to truly study history, a historian must form an impartial view when
