People like Jeff Bezos or Bill gates because the ownership they have of the biggest companies everything else falls under their control]]> 2022-03-01 21:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072338638 https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072339352 Just like the Gilded Age, the present society in the U.S. is full of diversity. This includes the rich and the poor. Also, corruption in the government and more is still present. These are some similarities and connections between the Gilded Age and now.]]> 2022-03-01 21:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072339352 1852743 https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072339951 It's no suprise that the wealthy still control America even to this day. The wealthy also know as the 1% basically control the outcome of America such as how the elections go. The 4000 wealthy families back in the gilded age most likely did the same thing.]]> 2022-03-01 21:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072339951 https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072339959 the gilded age is similar today in the ways that there's still a lot of greedy people and those who still want to be the one percent. alli and noah]]> 2022-03-01 21:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072339959 1684614 https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072340803 The Gilded Age is similar today because there is a widening gap between the rich and poor and differences in social status. Both share multiple similarities including corrupted governments. ]]> 2022-03-01 21:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072340803 1335043 https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072341432 The Gilded age was a significant time in american history. It seemed as if America was finally gaining control of their economy and choices. However they still faced various challenges, immigrants specifically were constantly degraded and exploited. They worked low paying jobs under harsh conditions. Much like today, nothing has changed. Immigrants aren't treated as humans, they get belittled and forced to succumb to poor working conditions in order to support their families. ]]> 2022-03-01 21:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072341432 https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072341679 Just like they were talking on the video; it feels like you went to bed in a country and woke up on another one different. Rich people were really rich, while the poor were really poor and I don't see differences with that and what we see now. We have a lot of homeless people, and we also have billionaires in the population of the country. ]]> 2022-03-01 21:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072341679 https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072342031 One thing that the modern-day world relates to the past that is the gilded age, is that the wealthy still "own" America. The 1% that is rich hangs above the population that is still poor and struggling. The era of the gilded age is not all rotten and decay though, great and revolutionary innovations developed during this time (elevators, skyscrapers, kitchen appliances), and the future followed suit (internet, smartphones, computers).

The air and streets are still dirty in a way npot the same but america still is not taking care of their country]]> 2022-03-01 21:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072344899 1268126 https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072344972 One of the biggest similarities is the big companies(rich) owning most of the industry. You can compare this to amazon or google being the biggest in their industries.]]> 2022-03-01 21:28:56 UTC https://padlet.com/1741525/1fps9o3ib6vil38q/wish/2072344972
