Thought on Capitalism
While searching for a blog topic, I thought back to capitalism and how it was discussed during the symposium. Several pros and cons were brought forth by the various philosophers. While, pondering these, I thought about how we hear stories all the time where people start up businesses from nothing and are now insanely rich. Are they in the wrong for becoming part of the "rich" class? Or do they deserve it to be there? I know this was discussed briefly in class, but I cannot remember all the details. It is an interesting topic regardless.

I think that people who manage to get out of this capitalism cycle are fortunate and deserve their current wealth since they did work for It ; however, that persons children who would probably inherit the fortune one day probably doesn't deserve it. The children of a wealthy person are more likely to never work once depend on their parents wealth that is where I think people don't deserve big fortunes.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to capitalism, I feel like the people who put their hard work and time into building a brand/name for themselves, deserve to be "rich". They have dedicated their time and effort into making something of themselves. On the other hand, not everyone has the same mind set, therefore you cannot expect everyone to go to trade school or college and work their way up on the work force ladder. There are some people who are content with how they live and what position they live in. Some people honestly, don't want to work as hard as others. Which leaves room for people in the working class to have middle class homes and jobs. In this life and society, I believe that you work hard towards your goals and should reap the benefits of your hard work.
