The Pursuit Of HappinessBlog #6 Frank Dimaria

I wanted to kind of pose a question to the class and think out loud about something that has been on my mind. We have moved from talking about ethnic hierarchy, to now the idea of immigrations, but every time we talk about a topic Marger always talks about inadequate resources being given to the minority group. I agree that someone born into a certain economic class has fewer resources with which to better him or herself, but I don’t think that this is limited to race. I feel that a black person in the middle class has just as much a chance to better himself or herself as a white person. And the same idea is prevalent in dealing with lower economic conditions. The point is just that; I feel that resources have to deal with an economic class structure. Some people are better off than others, ex. being born into wealth, but I don’t understand the whole concept of distribution of resources especially in a modern sense. I wanted to ask about it in class but I forgot to and I was wondering what the class thought. I understand that there really is an ethnic hierarchy in America but I don’t understand the distribution of resources other than in an economic sense. I believe that everyone has the opportunity to to make their own lives better. Of course this comes from hard work and perseverance.
