Guilded Age

Guilded Age There are many different views on whether or not business should be regulated during the Guilded Age. The rich who controlled the government at the time were against any kind of regulation of business. They wanted one hundred percent capitalism. The workers on the other hand wanted the business to be regulated, and the legalization of unions. There were many wealthy business owners who believed in the gospel of wealth. This was the idea that God made the rich rich and the poor poor. This was a common thought process of the Guilded Age. Andrew Carnegie was a major follower of this thought. This is shown in his speech “Wealth.” In this speech he says that rich and poor are necessary for the race. It also describes how it is survival of the fittest. The ideas of the gospel of wealth are a scary concept today. If you look at it with a revisionist viewpoint the idea that rich are rich because God said so leaves us open for so much discrimination. The thoughts of this time were not able to see this, and the business owners wanted to keep the power in their hands. So the thoughts of the era by the rich tells point towards no regulation. The gospel of wealth was a main reason that the owners were able to keep the regulations from coming about. ÇEVİRİSİ Guilded Age Guilded Age'de iş düzenlenip düzenlemeyeceğine dair birçok farklı görüş vardır. O dönemde hükümeti yöneten zenginler, her türlü ticaret düzenlemesine karşıydı. Yüzde yüz kapitalizm istediler. İşçiler, işin düzenlenmesini ve sendikaların yasallaştırılmasını istedi. Zenginlik Müjdesine inanan birçok zengin işletme sahibi vardı. Bu, Tanrı'nın zenginleri zengin ve yoksulları fakir hale getirdiği fikrindeydi. Bu Guilded Age'in ortak bir düşünce süreciydi. Andrew Carnegie bu düşüncenin önemli bir izleyicisiydi. Bu, "Servet" konusundaki konuşmasında gösteriliyor. Bu konuşmada, zengin ve fakirlerin yarış için gerekli olduğunu söylüyor. Ayrıca, fittestin hayatta kalması da anlatılmaktadır. Servetin müjdesinin fikirleri bugün korkunç bir konsepttir. Revizyonist bir bakış açısı ile bakarsanız zenginlerin zengin olduğunu düşünürsünüz çünkü Tanrı bizi çok ayrımcılık için açık bırakır. Bu seferki düşünceler bunu göremedi ve işletme sahipleri gücü ellerinde tutmak istediler. O halde zenginlerin çağın düşünceleri herhangi bir düzenlemeye işaret ediyor. Servetin müjdecisi, sahiplerin mevzuatın gelmesini önlemesinin temel nedeni idi.

Alexander the Great and His Achievements - Büyük İskender ve Başarıları

Alexander the Great and His Achievements Alexander the Great was the king of Macedon. Alexander of Macedon, or ancient Mecadonia, deserves to be called the Great.

Thomas Jefferson’s Views on Education Thomas Jefferson believed that universal education would have to precede universal suffrage.

Thomas Jefferson’s Views on Education Thomas Jefferson believed that universal education would have to precede universal suffrage. The ignorant, he argued, were incapable of self-government. But he had profound faith in the reasonableness and teachableness of the masses and in their collective wisdom when taught. He believed that the schools should teach reading, writing, and arithmetic. Also, the children should learn about Grecian, roman, English, and American History. Jefferson believed the nation needed public schools scattered around, for all male citizens to receive free education. By 1789, the first law was passed in Massachusetts to reaffirm the colonial laws by which towns were obligated to support a school. This law was ignored. Private schools were opened only to those who could afford to pay them. In the middle states religious groups opened most schools. Not many schools or institutions were opened to the nonwealthy people. The women, blacks, and Indians were not able to...

THE BEST TEACHERS ARE PARENTS - EN İYİ ÖĞRETMENLER VELİLERDİR

THE BEST TEACHERS ARE PARENTS - EN İYİ ÖĞRETMENLER VELİLERDİR   I remember a day which was very horrible, however at the same time it was very important for my life. While I was preparing exams to be enrolled to a university at the private institution, my grades were not good actually they were too bad. I didn’t tell the truth to my parents about my grades. After awhile days, my mother went to the private institution to get information about my performance, and the tutors said my grades to my mother. So, when she knew that, she wasn’t angry with me, but I was scary. After that, my parents taught me that telling lies is not a good behavior. Therefore, I think that parents are the best teachers for their children for three reasons. First, the family is the first place to teach to children. Until children go to the school, parents teach something such as what they should do in community, how they should talk to elderly people, and how can choose true friends. Parents also teac...
