A lot of things have changed between the 1800s and the 21st-century.Many issues need to be addressed whether dealing with social, economical, environmental, or political. Through the many years of living in America, I had problems that dealt with Medicine.Some aren't able to afford it, only those with healthcare can get specific benefits.In 1915 those who made less than $1,200 a year would get covered.Now we are in the year 2017 and most people don't get to have the benefit, especially those without Medicaid.It's really hard to find a place where they accept all people.I remember when I was injured bad to where I had to go to a hospital and the only way insurance would cover it, is if I had Medicaid.So those who can't afford the Medicaid can …show more content…
They get more benefits of having a job. During the 1970s, 72% only required a high school diploma. The only con about going to college is after everything, there will always be a debt to be payed. Student loans will be a pain. I, myself am for sure I want to attend college, even though things will be a lot tougher on me with student loans. I am not a US citizen nor do I have the legal documents to be able to easily go to college. There is another way for me to be able to pay student loans other than FAFSA, but there will be more paperwork to be done. This is why I believe this issue is a big impact on me in the 21st
...ave changed and college is extremely expensive now. There are not enough jobs openings for college graduates which leaves them unemployed with heavy debt. The vast majority of jobs in America require only vocational training or a skill certificate. People who do not have the aptitude for college should not be forced into thinking college is the only way to be successful in life. Society should encourage students to explore all job options not just the college related ones, because with the way times are changing getting trained from a vocational school is the best option America’s citizens have.
twentieth centuries. At the turn of the century, the U.S. had faced countless problems as the
On a global scale, the United States is a relatively wealthy country of advanced industrialization. Unfortunately, the healthcare system is among the costliest, spending close to 18% of gross domestic product (GDP) towards funding healthcare (2011). No universal healthcare coverage is currently available. United States healthcare is currently funded through private, federal, state, and local sources. Coverage is provided privately and through the government and military. Nearly 85% of the U.S. population is covered to some extent, leaving a population of close to 48 million without any type of health insurance. Cost is the primary reason for lack of insurance and individuals foregoing medical care and use of prescription medications.
Over the past years, getting a college degree has been the pathway to a settled career. College has been a reason for people to carry on after high school. Now that tuition has been raised, getting a degree seems to drain students with more loans and could be in debt. College has been raised to the point where people rather start working at a minimum wage than continuing with school. Working in a part-time job would be an easier choice rather than pursuing a degree.
The 20th century brought about many changes, with several events molding society in the way we know of it today. With the Great Depression, World War 2 , and the Cold War, America faced many internal and external threats, that endangered the American way of life and forced the country to reshape it’s views to move past events that seemed, at the time, to be the lowest points.
In recent years, the number of Americans who are uninsured has reached over 45 million citizens, with millions more who only have the very basic of insurance, effectively under insured. With the growing budget cuts to medicaid and the decreasing amount of employers cutting back on their health insurance options, more and more americans are put into positions with poor health care or no access to it at all. At the heart of the issue stems two roots, one concerning the morality of universal health care and the other concerning the economic effects. Many believe that health care reform at a national level is impossible or impractical, and so for too long now our citizens have stood by as our flawed health-care system has transformed into an unfixable mess. The good that universal healthcare would bring to our nation far outweighs the bad, however, so, sooner rather than later, it is important for us to strive towards a society where all people have access to healthcare.
A lot has changed from 1880 to 1900 to 2017, we still have many issues from the past that have carried into 2017. We still have corruption throughout our cities, from people losing jobs, or having a job that barely sustains them. The women couldn't vote for their country, for the person that was going to lead them for 4 years. Their where children working in sweatshops, to kids doing drugs and alcohol today. The world has changed, but it seems it hasn't changed in the way we hoped and imagined. I wonder if we brought the people back from the past to now if they would wonder, what has this world come to, and what is to come?.
Many people of which do not know, or even understand programs, or funds that can assist them in these situations they are in. People not knowing or cannot afford health care is a huge problem especially considering the fact that many Americans are elderly or suffer from acute disease, disabilities, and even mental disorders. Without proper health care many of these Americans will suffer tremendously and their symptoms may develop even worse without proper medication and help. This cannot be given without affordable health care.
If you graduate from college, and want to start a family one day. Your choice in going will amplify your children’s interest in going as well. If you expect your children to go to college but you did not, then who is to blame for their poor decision? Going to college now can start a tradition in your family that could live on for decades. Research shows that someone with a bachelor’s degree makes almost two times more than one who does not have one. High school graduates make an average of $28,000 and college graduates with a four-year degree make $45,500. It is also proven that the unemployment rate is lower for people who have a bachelor’s degree. As a result high school graduates are more prone to living in poverty once out of high school. College should be a requirement because many college graduates earn more than high school graduates. Bill Gates is the most successful man in the world and he went to college. Carlos Slim is the second richest man in the world and he too went to college. What I am trying to say is that the top two wealthiest and successful people in the world have gone to some degree of secondary education. This is not complicated math. If you go to college you will increase your probability of becoming successful or becoming even more
During the years between 1920 and 1960, America saw change in many aspects of life. The United States was a part of two major wars and a crash of the banking system that crippled the economy greater than ever seen in this country’s history. Also the country had new insecurities to tackle such as immigration and poor treatment of workers. These events led to the change of America lives socially, economically, and politically. The people of America changed their ideas of what the country’s place in the world should be. The issues challenging America led the country to change from isolation to war, depression to prosperity, and social change. The threats to American way of life, foreign and domestic, were the changing forces to the country in the twenties to the sixties.
Industrialization in the 19th century changed our nation. We became a modern, faster paced society with modern technologies. Women joined the work force and helped develop our nation. Cities grew and developed, leading to advanced transportation and high rise skyscrapers. Even farmers began to feel the improvement of the nation's economy. Industrialization had spread across the USA.
The U.S. expends far more on healthcare than any other country in the world, yet we get fewer benefits, less than ideal health outcomes, and a lot of dissatisfaction manifested by unequal access, the significant numbers of uninsured and underinsured Americans, uneven quality, and unconstrained wastes. The financing of healthcare is also complicated, as there is no single payer system and payment schemes vary across payors and providers.
With the United Nations listing health care as natural born right and the escalating cost of health care America has reached a debatable crisis. Even if you do have insurance it's a finical strain on most families.
In the last 100 years, many things have changed. They are more enhanced and easier to use. A hundred years ago, people were more reliant on themselves. Today we are more reliant on technology. So many things have changed over the last 100 years, some of them being clothing, schools, and technology.
Individuals in my generation that decide to go away for college may graduate with a degree, but they also graduate with debt and have a hard time finding work in their area of study. College graduates are young, and many may not have much experience in their field. It is a bittersweet option to go to college and further your education, I am all for it, but I am not for getting yourself in tons of debt, that will cause you to live your whole life paying off student loans and such. Which is one of the reasons why I chose to stay at home and go to community college, I’m saving money while still getting a great education. In earlier generations, people may not have felt that college was important because they needed a job to support themselves and their families.
