Someone who's good with history [I badly need help!]

[Kay Scarpetta]

Greetings to my fellow homo sapiens. I have history essay questions to answer before school starts next Tuesday. I have answered all except one, one which I cannot answer worth a damn. I was wondering if anyone here could possibly lend me their knowledge.

William Graham Sumner said that the wealth and luxury enjoyed by millionaires was justifiable as "a good bargain for society." Based on the industrialists' role in the late 1800's, support or criticize Sumner's assertion.

Anyone who helps will get credit in the paper (leave your first name, please) and a cookie.

Basically what he was saying was it was okay for the millionaires to keep getting richer on the backs of the average American b/c the millionaires owned most of all of the industries. He figured they made the stuff, they deserved to get richer while hard working Americans had to keep paying the higher prices they deemed in order to use the supplies.

It's a vicious circle. To survive they have to by the supplies, but they can't afford it very well b/c A) the industries are raising the prices of goods while at the same time giving HORRIBLE wages to the workers who inturn have to buy the supplies. It's a no win situation for the workers and a win-win situation for the millionaires.

So I would say I disagree with it. I'll find you some good places to do research.

2.) What was their biggest-selling song?

Good job!
I always thought John was the tallest? But I knew Ringo was the least tall.

And I'm not surprised that "Hey Jude" was their best-selling song. My next choice probably would have been "Yesterday."

Yep! Tall Paul!

My major in college was history and I love the subject, but I have to be honest when I say that I know very little about William Graham Sumner.

Yesterday is rated the most covered song of the 20th Century. (That sounds so weird!) :lol: Like the 20th century is so ancient! :lol: :eek:

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it sold millions, too (the Beatle's version).

Hmmmm, how would that be a "good bargain" for society?? :confused:

Case in point: Fifteen years ago, one person in a L.A. music magazine wrote in and criticized what he saw as a "lack of hair" in the front rows at an Iron Maiden show. While people wrote in and complained about this guy's assertion about "the follicular challenged" ("and just look at Scott Ian of Anthrax, his head's shaved and HE rocks!!"), I understood his point. He was talking about all the rich yuppie scum who were all so clean-cut and could afford to buy all the expensive seats before the real Maiden fans, the younger, poorer metal dudes could. The yuppie scum were most likely not real metal fans, just wannabes who buy out seats only because they can.
