Informational technology has helped so many people keep in touch with others, interact with others through social networking, help employees with work or help employers figure out whom their hiring. So how could informational technology help me? In plenty of ways, then not. One being through social, educational, and another being professional. So having all of this technology might be a bit overwhelming, but overall it is helpful to almost everyone. This newer technology today can help so many people with so many different things whether it be talking to your best friend, skyping with your future boss about your future career, spending over eight hours doing research on a paper that’s due in less than twenty-four hours away or just sitting on your computer for hours watching cat videos on the internet. It’s all how you spend and use your time on the internet.
Certain technology helps me and others in so many social ways, in more ways than not. Social technology helps me get ahold of people, contact those whom have no other way to reach them, or even just to see what your peers and friends are up to on a daily basis. Networking helps you keep up with everyone, and see everything that is trending right now. But let’s say I posted something inappropriate on my Facebook or twitter and my future or present boss sees that via social network, then what they perceived about me would be totally re-thought about the way I act outside of the workplace. That boss or co-worker would rethink their decision to hire me or even have me on the team just based on that one post on the internet. Just to keep the image they’re trying so hard to try and keep and boost up. Pertaining that image is their job, so hiring you or me that would also be ou...

... I put on social networks, and say to others because you never know how bad it can get if you don’t know the consequences. I have used the internet for many things, mainly that being for academic purposes. Those purposes consisting of helping research for a paper, finding out information for an essay or even watching a video to help with a presentation. All very good things to come from informational tech. Educational technology basically falls under the same category as academic technology and basically acts the in the same ways when comes to wanting to find something out or even just wanted to know what something means. So in turn having all of this technology surround us is help yet distracting… Because once you start watching cat videos you cant stop.

    Hesiod’s Theogony and the Babylonian Enuma Elish are both myths that begin as creation myths, explaining how the universe and, later on, humans came to be. These types of myths exist in every culture and, while the account of creation in Hesiod’s Theogony and the Enuma Elish share many similarities, the two myths differ in many ways as well. Both myths begin creation from where the universe is a formless state, from which the primordial gods emerge. The idea of the earth and sky beginning as one and then being separated is also expressed in both myths.

    Expanded and strengthened state private insurance companies are to be expected since more younger Texans enter the market thanks to the premium support. Texas can expect savings through more proper use of medical care, lower numbers in Medicaid, and savings from increased recipient cost sharing. Texas must refuse to comply with the new high-risk pools. There are many reasons Texas should not comply but the main reason is poor design. Currently, eighteen states have decided not to participate in these pools, Texas is undecided. Any person with a pre-existing medical disorder whom has been without insurance for six month will qualify. The law gave the Department of Health discretion in determining with conditions qualifies. Theoretically, the Department of Health could say the flu is a pre existing medical condition. If Texas does not refuse to comply with these pools it is only a matter of time before the demand will exceed the supply. A huge concern is when the funding is gone what do the state politicians do. I see two options. One, state officials will end the coverage all together and pull the plug. Two, continue to allow the program to run with the use of state tax dollars.

    Many people, all throughout history, have aspired to create a perfect life for themselves. However, this dream is not often very easily available. The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is a novel about the decay of society, the blindness of love, and the pointless pursuit of the now non-existent American dream. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald shows the United States not in the glittering golden light that many claimed, but rather cast in a dark gloomy haze, polluted by crime, corruption, and moral decay. Fitzgerald also strikes down the notion that foolish love is harmless. Additionally, the author illustrates that the American dream is a now no-longer existent, and foolish pursuit. Many thought the roaring twenties were the height of American society, but they were actually just the beginning of a downward spiral.

    During the Great Depression, while the competitors were cutting costs and reusing outdated designs, Kress was expanding and building more elaborate stores than their previous ones. The architecture was referred to as an “emporium” evoking an elegant atmosphere more suited to a fine cloth or furniture store in New York rather than the five & dime stores dotting small town America. Many wonder what the driving force was behind these design decisions, especially during a national time of economic recession. Perhaps simply to outpace the competition, but perhaps more importantly Samuel Kress was an avid art collector and a proponent of public art enhancing a community. In this way the Kress legacy of the brand became more than a retail business, it became a symbol of small town civic pride.

    In America, it is becoming more difficult to achieve the American Dream. The American Dream is based on the idea that people can move higher up on the social scale, as long as they work hard work to accomplish their goal. The American Dream is also based on the belief that the social class you’re born into, is not the social class you have to stay in. In other words, everyone can move up in their lifetime if they work hard. However this is not true today, and people are not moving positively up the social class ladder. It has become a chain reaction of people with a college education vs. people without a college education. People with a college degree, or who have parents that have received a college degree, are significantly more likely to be in the upper class in America today, giving them an unfair advantage.

Cardinally, does social citizenship decrease the convexity of class? – or otherwise presented – could the capitalist society be crucially revolutionised by the welfare state?
