11G's IDU Revision by Joseph M.

The graph shows Denmark as the country with highest social mobility and US and UK as the countries with lowest mobility.

This helps me understand how social systems works in terms of globalisation and sustainability by presenting the reality of the socio-economic system based on data obtained from the countries.]]> 2017-09-11 06:38:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186251478 Identify Key Details https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186251681 "there has been an enormous transfer of wealth from the middle class and the poor, to the wealthiest people in this country" "American work longer hours for lower wages" "We have the highest childhood poverty rate"]]> 2017-09-11 06:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186251681 Key details https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186251730 The image illustrates that the social system is based on your race. For example, "African Americans and Latinos are more likely to be unemployed." The White has the lowest unemployment rate compared to the Latino and African American as the society is biased to one side which allows them to explore more job opportunities. Another example shown in the image can be the graduation rate differences in April 2014 for the White, Latino and African American. White resulted in the highest percentage with 62.1% compared to Latino with 51.0% and African American with 39.9%. ]]> 2017-09-11 06:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186251730 Main Idea https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186251840 "What do African-Americans and Hispanics have to lose by going with me"]]> 2017-09-11 06:40:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186251840 Key Details https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186251853 1) "These People!

All they think of is money." we can see how thirsty the people were for money back in the 20th century. Another dialogue is "she goes around looking at people's feet in their own homes." This means that the woman is analysing people's wealth by for example their outfit, their living conditions and appearance. This could be because she was very materialistic and wanted to see how she could keep up with the times by making herself look rich. Through this we can conclude that the attitude of the people back then were materialistic, thirsty for money, and to keep up with trends and maintain their social status by seeming rich or being rich.]]> 2017-09-11 06:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186251914 Key Details aliciang0507 https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186251930 Based on the The Wealth Distribution, it can be seen that as countries with more population have lower income. It also shows that almost across the world, income equality is happening but just depending how bad it is. Countries with 75% of population and above are living on less than $2 a day.]]> 2017-09-11 06:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186251930 Key Details https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186251964 Donald Trump is trying to persuade the racial minorities to vote for him in order to sustain the countryby stating that they have nothing to lose because they don't have anything to begin with by referencing the poverty, crime and educational statistics.
He is referring how the racial minorities are the most affected by poverty and lack of access towards higher education.

As it is a worldwide's source providing data and trends of the world, it is open to everyone so it is not biased on a specific culture point of view.

The black society's racial discrimination is backed uo by evidence stating that the people born in the black society has a very hard time to go up social classes since birth. Also, black people are more likely to drop their social class as they go to worse schools and most families only have a single parent, making it a very hard situation to improve their social class. ]]> 2017-09-11 06:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186252477 Main Idea https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186252481 1) Myrtle treats people like objects because she was with Tom.

This implies that the social mobility for blacks in America is lower than other races, further stated with statements from the source such as "Black Wealth Barely Exists" as well as "The median wealth of Households is now 13 times greater than for black households". This ultimately portrays that America as a country, shows the belief that the blacks work low income jobs and should not climb up the social ladder meanwhile most whites are encouraged to climb up the social ladder due as evident with the evidence of discrimination in America.]]> 2017-09-11 06:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186252488 Discuss possible reasons behind Tom's attitude in the excerpt. https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186252578 The main reason behind Tom's racist behaviour is that he was brought up in an environment where African Americans worked for him and were beneath him. This moulded him to have a mindset where African Americans are looked down upon. Hence, the idea that people who are his servants can be the same wealth level as him intimidates. This motivates him to stop any possibilities from this happening.

It show that half of the Black Americans born poor and stay poor. It also show that most of the African Americans middle class kids are downwardly mobile. This show that African Americans are not shown equal privilege than whites who are not downwardly mobile, hence proving that America would rather prefer to give privilege to the whites than the African Americans. ]]> 2017-09-11 06:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186252637 EVALUATE THE SOURCE https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186252767 Origin: Five Bleak Facts on Black Opportunity by Richard V. Reeves and Edward Rodrigue Thursday, January 15 2015
Purpose: Talk about the increase in status and economy of the black society.

- shows the socio-economic issues faced by the racial minorities in US.

Limitation- it is posted by Donald Trump who has the reputation of posting facts and information which are not true.
- Donald Trump is a wealthy white man, who often does not understand the struggles of minorities.
-Donald Trump is a former businessman and social division would have benefited him, therefore the statement might be misleading
- Because of the 140 character limit on Twitter, statistics and data weren't included instead they were referenced only, therefore not supported by immediate facts. ]]> 2017-09-11 06:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186253140 Explain https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186253528

This source talks mostly about the fundamental rights and opportunities that are given to a person at their birth. This tells us how inequality starts at birth and follows the person throughout their lives. Some people are more privileged than others. This allows some people to have more opportunities and success than others. This information can be used by most characters to describe how much opportunity they have had in their lives, and how these privileged and opportunities have brought them to where they are now, or even including this idea in their opinions and perspectives. Not only that, as a character may refer to another character- talking about his/her life.

1. The author wrote the novel in the time period it represents hence he has first hand experience with the social system of the era.
Weaknesses
1. It is an excerpt from a fictional novel hence some details could be exaggerated.

- Shows the materialistic personalities in the 1920's, using dialogues as example of perspectives.
- Uses metaphors to indirect the middle and upper classes
Limitations:
- No statistics used (This shows the snobbish attitudes in middle and upper class where people believed in their words because they have money)
- Excerpt from a fictional situation. It is not evident that it has happened in real life (Yet again, it's a novel, hence no citation is shown)

This source is reliable as it consists of statistics based on data from countries. It is published in the Economic Report of the President and derives from The White House. It compares the social mobility and income distribution in different countries.

Limitations
Firstly, it is only a graph. The source does not explore in depth in terms of social mobility. It might also be outdated as it is published in 2012, with information from 1985.]]> 2017-09-11 06:51:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186253937 Values and Limitations aliciang0507 https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186253952 I feel that the info graph isn't clear for everyone to understand as doesn't really explain much about how Wealth Distribution affects the population around the world.

Since the source is an infograph, its easier to identify and see the particular countries with different income level distribution based on the specific colours. ]]> 2017-09-11 06:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186253952 List of Questions https://padlet.com/jmvelarde85/11GIDURevision/wish/186254426 1) Identify the choice of words that represents the degradation on lower class.

It is valuable as the person who wrote the speech, Bernie Sanders, is a well-known politician and candidate for president of United States so we know that he is knowledgeable in the economic and political status of America.

Other than that, the source does not give specific details how someone might be born with privileges and advantages over others which can cause confusion in the readers.

Values: This excerpt is taken from a book that was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, who lived in the late 1800's to 1940. Thus, it can be considered as a credible source as it was written by a person who lived and experienced the life of that era.
