On September 24, 1869, the U.S. money related part slipped into disarray after renegade theorists Jay Gould and Jim Fisk endeavored to corner the country 's gold business sector. The looter nobles planned to make a mint by driving the cost of gold into the stratosphere, and to draw it off, they manufactured a system of defilement that stretched out from Wall Street and the New York City government the distance to the group of President Ulysses S. Stipend. The intrigue at long last unwound 145 years back on what got to be known as "The shopping extravaganza following Thanksgiving," yet not before Gould and Fisk had dragged the whole U.S. economy to the edge of fiasco. In the event that any pair of speculators had the money related clout and absence of second thoughts required to design the confusion of Black Friday, it was Jay Gould and Jim Fisk.

Many Americans love shopping, especially during the holidays, with its captivating discounts and sales, which lead to uncontrollable splurges on irrelevant things. According to Quindlen, this is an example of America’s crazed consumerism and it is absolutely absurd. In her article, “Honestly, You Shouldn’t Have”, she states that there is currently an assumption that purchasing American merchandises symbolize an act of patriotism and at the same time, build a strong economy. She also states that we, as Americans, need to acknowledge important spiritual values such as friends and family rather than material goods.

What actually caused black Tuesday to happen? Part of the tantrum that caused Black Tuesday to happen was resulted from how investors used the stock market back in the early 1900’s. Back in the early 1900’s or specifically the 1920’s they didn’t have as much information as they did today, nor did they have the technological advances. Stock prices weren’t on computers, they were on tickertape machines. Machines that printed out stock prices on a slip of sheet.

Tokenism as defined by (Dictionary.com) is the practice or policy of making no more than a token effort or gesture, as in offering opportunities to minorities equal to those of the majority. Tokenism in an early childhood setting means to be specific in the approach of cultures, an example could be in a 3 year old kinder room when a group time is done and the educator may decide to conduct a group time that is specifically about the aboriginal culture, but then the next day you might do a group time that is based on animals or on a different culture and then for the rest of the kinder week at group time you do something different.

Tokenism is the act or practice of making an obligatory or minimal effort towards something. It occurs when cultural diversity and differences are not affirmed and embedded in everyday practices in the program.

Australian Government (2010), states that tokenism can be avoided in an early childhood setting by not focusing on a specific culture or a child’s specific culture. For example when working with a group of children there may be a number of children from a variety of backgrounds and cultures.

I find the notion that we should “occupy Black Friday””(Andrew Leonard’s “Black Friday: Consumerism vs. Civilization”). According to Leonard one act that a conscientious consumer could do would be a strike that would result in more layoffs, pay cuts, bankruptcies, and foreclosures.
