Quote by: Jakob Allow me to elaborate. If we view all of society as one entity made up of several entities, which we will call social classes. The wealth/power/progress of a nation is the sum total of all the classes. If you progress one class, you progress society. However, if disparity also comes into a play. Take for example a few nations in Africa, regarding the AIDS epidemic. The AIDS solutions are only affordable for the rich. The rich, in most countries make up less than one percent of the population. Thus, the disparity between rich and poor negates any progress made within the nation. This is why it is imparitive to help those underneath us. If you continue to progress, and leave them in the dust, the disparity between you and them will make null all your progress. |
Point #1: You're talking about welfare. That's not affirmative action. Actually, that's a pretty fatal flaw with your argument. Stick to affirmative action.
Point #2: Yay for welfare and advancing the poor and all that. But that doesn't mean we should make someone who doesn't have a high school education, say, a world leader unless they earn it.
