Underpinnings and Effectiveness of Carnegie’s “Gospel of Wealth” In Andrew Carnegie’s “Gospel of Wealth”, Carnegie proposed a system of which he thought was best to dispose of “surplus wealth” through progress of the nation.

The common moral of many well known stories is that money doesn 't not equate to happiness. You can live life without money and yet maintain a blissful life. In "On the want of money" however, an essay written by William Hazlitt, the author outright denounces this cliche idea and points to money as a key ingredient to a prosperous life.

Hazlitt builds on his argument of the necessity of money through his use of powerful diction,clever syntax through long repetition,logos, and an assertive tone.
The late nineteenth century was a pivotal moment in American history. During this time, the Industrial Revolution transformed the nation, railroads had dissipated all throughout the country, and economic classes began to form, separating the wealthy from the poor. One of the wealthiest men of this generation was Andrew Carnegie, a Scottish immigrant who fled to America to make millions off the railroad, oil and even steel businesses. Carnegie is considered one of the richest men in history, and even with all that wealth he decided to give back to the community. As a matter of fact, Carnegie donated most of his funds to charities, universities and libraries in his last few years.

In the great depression 1930’s the local and state government provided support for the poor, many assistances coming from churches were people would receive free food and agencies supplying the size of aid available to them.
It’s understandable that people will get fired or let go sometimes but they shouldn’t just be handed money until they die. I think that welfare should only be a temporary fix, like it was intended to be, not a life-long thing. Unemployed citizens should only be able to receive welfare check for a short period of time, long enough for them to be able to find a job. Welfare was meant to be a good system to help others during a hard time, but it was not meant to fund the unplowed until death, and it was not meant to put the working class in debt either. There are many small fixes to this problem, but not enough people who see that this systems rules and regulations need to be
Andrew Carnegie could have let his employees keep their wages and worry about donations later. Taking money away to invest it somewhere else is not helping, because the people
Temptation and greed are significant elements in the three stories, as many of the characters’ actions are a result of bad decisions made due to these forces. In Alice in Wonderland, Alice’s food related temptations are what cause her change of size and her progression through the world of Wonderland. Alice is often not even hungry when confronted with items of food in the story, it is their presence that tempts her to eat them: “In the middle of the court was a table, with a large dish of tarts upon it: they looked so good, that it made Alice quite hungry to look at them” (96). It is her lack of restraint when it comes to her appetite that causes her change of size and her lack of power throughout much of the story. Gluttony is displayed for

The work of Will Eisner’s A Contract with God, though created in a time of different ideas and lifestyle, are still applicable to modern society. In A Contract with God the concepts of religious struggle, Greed, and prejudgment, show off various faults within the Human Nature. These notions are expressed through not only the text but the accompanying visuals which create an atmosphere not seen before in its time. Being the first graphic novel while being able to stand the test of time definitely give the right for the highest prestige for comics to be named the ‘Eisner Award.’
Welfare is designed to promote the basic physical and material well-being of people in need. The problem comes with the ease people have in cheating the system. It is far too easy for someone to get more support than they deserve and to become totally dependent on that support. The most effective solution for this is simple. Welfare should only be granted to citizens in specific categories such as students and the elderly, and should not be granted to those citizens that do not fall in to those categories due to the fact they should support themselves and their families.
