Galbraith:
1. One of Galbraith’s most basic premises is that America is now an affluent society. Examine in detail the society that you know for the purposes of validating or contradicting that assertion. Is America an affluent society? What are the signs of affluence? What qualifies as affluence? What are the results of affluence?
Galbraith's most basic premise is that America is now an affluent society, and I agree with him in some ways. For some America is a place of an affluent society, while for others it isn't. Some resources are harder to obtain for people especially lower-class citizens. Compared to other countries I would say America is an affluent society. The qualities or sign of affluence is someone or something with money, property, or materialistic goods. (Someone rich and wealthy) The result of affluence is some people having more power over others. This leads to different social classes in our country and division.
Reich:
2. To what extent is it the government’s responsibility to provide jobs to people who would otherwise not be able to get them? For example, should the government provide jobs for routine workers if their opportunities dry up? What arguments favor or oppose such a proposal?
Reich believed the extent of the governments' responsibility is to provide jobs to people in job areas of the government. I think the government should provide jobs for routine workers if their opportunities dry up. Routine workers who have been laid off due to money cuts in a workplace should be guaranteed a job. It keeps everyone in a job unless they don't want one.
