Answer to Question 1

Many social scientists believe that existing trends point to an increase in social
inequality in the United States. The purchasing power of the dollar has stagnated or
declined since the early 1970s.
As families started to lose ground financially, more family members (especially
women) entered the labor force in an attempt to support themselves and their
families. Wealth continues to become more concentrated at the top of the U. S. class
structure. As the rich have grown richer, many people have found themselves among
the ranks of the poor. Federal tax laws in recent years have benefited corporations
and wealthy families at the expense of middle- and lower-income families. Structural
sources of upward mobility are shrinking whereas the rate of downward mobility has
increased.
It has been said that a chain is no stronger than its weakest link. It is to our advantage
to see that those who cannot find work or do not have a job that provides a living
wage receive adequate training and employment. Innovative programs can combine
job training with producing something useful to meet the immediate needs of people
living in poverty. Children of today (the adults of tomorrow) need nutrition, education,
health care, and safety as they grow up.
