https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq The article says that the United States has gone back to developing nation status. Using EVIDENCE from the article, either agree or disagree with the author. Comment on two other posts. en-us 2018-03-19 13:43:07 UTC 2026-02-19 17:56:53 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Manbag.png https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243503860 In my opinion, United States has not gone back to a developing nation. Every strong country will have weaknesses but the definition of a "developing country" does not fit the US. This country, for the most part, is developed, and while some parts might be a "Low wage sector", it's not enough to call the US a developing country. It's not enough evidence to change the status of the country .]]> 2018-03-19 14:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243503860 https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243504244 I disagree with the author and feel that the United States has not gone back to a developing nation.

The fact that the author said that there is a large percentage of our population who are living in debt or worrying about money is correct, but that doesn't exactly mean that we have gone back.

One portion of the country cannot describe the whole country. To say that the United States of America is going back to developing is to say Zimbabwe will be a m.d.c. next year.

I Don’t Think There’s Enough Evidence Presented In This Article To Convince Me That There’s A Change In The US Economic Status. The Article Presents The Unbalance In Power Between The High-Income And Low-Income, Which To Me, I Can’t See How That Would Revert The US Back To A Developing Stage.

Yes, I agree there are many places that are ¨poor¨ but looking at the U.S. as a whole it is a developed country. Also, the author says the 80%  that are uneducated are in low wage sectors. However, most of that 80% are working hard and have managed to stay above poverty level. The U.S., in my eyes, has proven that it´s people can survive without education. ]]> 2018-03-19 14:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243547448 mm312502 https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243547727 I do not think that the U.S. has gone back to being a developing nation. The article doesn't provide enough reasons to prove that a change has occurred with its economy. 80% of people in the U.S. are in the low wage area, the other 20% do have a good and stable job. Even though there are more in the low wage area and it is unbalanced it does not mean that the country itself is developing or is in a bad place. That is not the entire country. If it were the entire country then it would be considered developing, but as of now they are not in a giant crisis. There are many areas that are poor in the U.S. but that won't lead it back to developing. That is one area, not the entire country. ]]> 2018-03-19 15:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243547727 pp312466 https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243547772 I feel like the article is coming off wrongly. Even though (as said in the article) 80% of the US Americans are part of the low-wage sector and only 20% of Americans have good jobs and social networks, I don't think that means that the US is falling into a developing country. The article even stated that the US is the "worlds largest economy"; Because of that, I don't think that it would be so easy to just become a developing nation from where the US is at the moment (unless certain decisions are made and certain actions are taken). Just because part of the nation is in a low-wage sector, the remaining 20% is still keeping the US from becoming a developing nation.]]> 2018-03-19 15:00:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243547772 dp432224 https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243547788 I honestly don't agree with this article. The U.S. is not regressing to a developing nation. The author is presenting data that doesn't directly show that the US is going back. For example, there are 80% of people who are in the low wage sector. Okay? Does this tell us anything about the technological advances? the availability of food and water? the economy? which really--more than wages--determine the stage of development of a country? Because a country has problems regarding one specific thing in one specific area, does not mean that the country as a whole has the problem. That's like saying: There is a roach on the floor; this house must have roaches on the ceiling and in the toilet and screw it. The roaches are everywhere]]> 2018-03-19 15:00:14 UTC https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243547788 kt311787 https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243547802 The US has an extremely strong economy and the article while providing some evidence that US has a problem with its lower class, such as the 80% low income Americans.

I utterly disagree with the author because there are many areas in the U.S. that are less developed than others, but that does not mean the whole division has gone back to being a developed nation. In the article, the author talks about how far inequalities has progressed through the U.S. and that 20% of the U.S. is well educated.

The author states "much of the low-wage sector had little influence over public policy, the high-income sector was keeping wages down to provide cheap labour, social control was used to prevent subsistence workers from challenging existing policies and social mobility was low". I think that statement is true and definitely can be proven but just because that happens doesn't mean we're a developing country. There definitely a big gap between the wealthy and people in poverty but overall the country is developed.]]> 2018-03-19 15:01:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243548429 bc320887 https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243549119 Disagree, just because some parts of a country is poor doesn't mean the entire country is poor and homeless.

Yes, but they are most likely not. They are probably struggling to get enough money but I don't think having some people who are poor will affect a nation that much, its pretty much inevitable to have poor people. ]]> 2018-03-19 15:02:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243549217 fm416285 https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243549240 I disagree with the article, we are not going back are in the developing stage.

The economy is way to strong and big for the US to be considered a developing country, And while there might be some places that might not be very wealthy, that does not determine the economy in the whole country.

The US probably could find a way to make it easier to get jobs but with things like having to have a certain amount of education for a good job. not everyone can or does it so those people just have to deal with the fact they are going to be put in the lower class. i don't think we should provide for everyone but instead we should make it easier for them to have things like a home, and food.  ]]> 2018-03-19 15:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243549849 kl323402 https://padlet.com/dredmondson/wda2huqt6ewq/wish/243550356 I disagree I understand that the amount of poor people is growing as said in the article, but that does not mean the whole nation has regressed and is a developing nation.

In the article it says "the remaining 80 per cent, he said, are part of the US’ low-wage sector" which seems like a stretch. I don't think 80% of the country is in the lower class. Maybe by that they mean not living in a nice suburban home but they are still above the poverty level. For the united states to be considered a developing country many people would have to be below the poverty line, therefore struggling for the basic necessities.

The fact that about 80 percent of the population has a low-income shows that the economy has declined greatly. The fact that the vast majority of the low-wage people consist of minorities shows that most people, despite all of the hate of this, are still generally racist to those unlike them in culture or skin color.

By saying that 20% of the population is well educated and enjoys good jobs and supportive networks, then how the other 80% is on the low side of the wage sector and how instead of enjoying the luxuries of good jobs and supporting networks they have to deal with the burden of debt and the worry of job security.

For example the dual - economy having a racist undertone, i can see how some of it is true but some of it is not, more and more black people or the "minority" is achieving many things such as owning a business, but is some places the statement is true, however it is false to assume the rest of the united states is like that. But it is true that most people in the U.S. are fairly racist, towards the minorities, or people that are different in general. However it certainly does seem the U.S. is slowly reverting back from its progress, the amount  of homeless people and low income families is growing larger either due too social or economic changes.

You can't just say one of the biggest superpowers in the world is not fully developed. I do agree that there is still room for improvement given the current status in our country's government.

The article also ended with how receiving proper education can offer many more advancements and benefits to the nation from Mr. Temin. ( Mr Temin says that education is the solution to offer everyone in society better opportunities and calls for investments in public schools and public universities. ) This necessarily doesn't mean the U.S is going back to the developing status because what we really need is a reform.

This we know. But it all depends really on your perspective and definition of developing.

If you compare the US, the literal powerhouse of the world, with one of the best economies out there, to any developing nation- the US doesn't really fit that stigma. 

In the sense of "how does the US compare to other developing nations", no, we wouldn't be considered developing. While it's quite obvious that places such as Venezuela (which was compared to us in the article) aren't nearly as developed as we are economically or financially, we do have some flaws also presented that could consider us to be developing.

The article brings up the point of the minorities normally being lower on the economic scale, this is not a mistake, of course. This country is inherently built upon the status of minorities being at the bottom. In this situation, we could be considered "developing". Developing as in coming to understand our own country, which we don't. We can't work in harmony as a country and in this form we ARE developing. But economically, the 20% that we have are substantially holding up the country.

It's hard to say what the definition of developing is. Whether it's how well and efficiently we work together and hold up our country, or whether our economy provides the status.

This causes a problem in our future as when the middle class is far reduced due to the policies instated by wealthy via funding those in power will cause an overproduction, this will lead to a spiral as the demand for goods is so great that the wealthy alone cannot meet it.
