In “The Case Against Tipping,” Michael Lewis argues that we are growing into a society that tips someone “for doing what they’ve already been paid to do” (22). Lewis believes that the more thought the customer puts into deciding whether or not to tip, the more unpleasant it becomes (21). It is putting you under pressure to make a decision based on whether or not the employee needs the money. Lewis continues by arguing that no one who is going to buy a coffee is “evaluating the performance” of the person behind the counter (21).
Housing is a huge part of the economy. Everybody a certain point in their life becomes a tenant or a homeowner. Recently, I read “Evicted “written by Matthew Desmond , a story of tenants and homeowners in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Matthew narrates a story different families with various background, race, and needs. All those family faced a commonly problem which is an eviction.
Politicians fear that if they abolish Negative Gearing as was done for a short period in the 80’s there will be a destabilisation in the rental market pushing up the cost of rent. However as can be seen now, this would not be the case, the only reason rents slightly rose in Sydney and Perth exclusively was due to economic and population growth and the fact that there weren’t enough houses being built in the years previous. It also must be noted that 92% of houses that claim negative gearing do so on existing properties, which mean they do nothing to benefit individuals who want to fulfil their own Australian dream, by purchasing their very own home to raise their family in, but instead overinflate demand for properties, creating an artificial property market in which is being propped up on unsustainable holes in the Australian
As mentioned above that residents of Toronto have suffered from the high cost of living. Two main causes of the high cost of living are that expensive housing and high taxes. The Globe and mail's authors asserted that the government should limit the cost of housing and reduce the government charges and fees (Barnabic& Petramal& Tuckey, 2015, December 19). However, it is not a clear solution to solve the root causes.
Everyone knows that tipping is an act of kindness that I put towards those who provide service beyond the expectation. Michael Lewis, a convincing author that addressed the pros and cons of tipping. Whether the workers were an excellent server or a poor server determines the amount of the tips that is given. In “The Case Against Tipping,” Michael Lewis created an arguable topic that can in truth get people thinking, but his essay lacks the evidence of logic. Michael Lewis’ first point was valid.
Response Paper 2: Rent In 1994, Rent debuted on Broadway, the first musical to shed light on HIV/AIDs epidemic. Rent, book and lyrics written and music composed by Jonathan Larson. Rent takes place in Manhattan’s East Village and follows a young and impoverished, group of friends who struggle to make it as artists. Rent sheds light on the burdens of young individuals not only living in impoverished conditions but, also living under the shadow of the HIV/AIDs epidemic in the late 1980’s. The central theme to Rent, the struggle for young adults to not only become financially successful enough to literally pay ones rent, but to also be comfortable with themselves and other people.
The construction of this project would not help only those future occupants of the homes, but also the people hired to construct and plan the project. Affordable is a necessity in today’s economy. Many people struggle to pay off their mortgage, or to even pay their rent. Affordable housing would help out many of the people fighting to keep up with hefty bills. It would also help out those who have lost their homes to rent increases due to gentrification.

The noise and inconvenience of these buses on narrow residential streets have caused inconveniences for citizens. Another negative externality the tech companies are creating is the effect of driving up rental prices within a walking distance of their company city bus stops. Lower-income people should not bear the brunt of the negative externalities of economic
The Arising Effects of a Consumerist Society In the article “On the Uses of Liberal Education,” written in 1997 by Mark Edmundson he argues how colleges are getting into the consumer habit of overspending on goods. Instead of the money being invested to the liberal arts, a vast amount is spent on the consumer lifestyle. In today 's day and age, it is typical for people to be a part of the big consumerist society. Over time, consumerism has arose throughout the nation, and some more than others. Since the roaring twenties, the United States has progressively steadfast to the consumer lifestyle.
Systems theories Challenges emerge in the framework and developmental programs due to the state of mind about individuals and their needs than is reflected in current attitudinal, automatic, and financing substances (Carling, 1993). Challenges can take place by pushing real change through a framework, the upheld housing approach likewise flies in numerous personal stakes, both expert and financial. Frameworks that take such a methodology can without much of a stretch get to be overpowered with the objective of constructing housing in light of purchasers' inclinations, particularly in light of the fact that community emotional wellness services are commonly acting in "emergency mode," with little time to ask any other individual's perspectives (Carling, 1993). Listening to consumers, whether detailing new objectives with an individual or arranging another statewide way to deal with housing, takes additional time than that required by current methodologies. Carling (1993) explains that policymakers and experts dislike quite a bit of what they get notification from consumers, and the vast majority of the assets and devices they need to make housing are helpful just for office based methodologies.

This quote itself may not seem as if it is much, but in all reality the words behind it go much deeper than at first glance. Each and every day we are forced to make decisions and those decisions make us into the person that we are today. Whether the outcome may be good or bad, it all results back to the choices we have made.
