2.Jeff and Sharon recently met on social media. Sharon is 36 years old and is working at a fast-food restaurant making minimum wage. Jeff is a 23-year-old
Harvard University graduate with a nice, new career, and he makes a lot more money
than Sharon does. Jeff claims that he is much more successful than Sharon despite
being thirteen years younger than she is, and he tells his friend Martha that Sharon
must be lazy and lacked ambition. Sharon, in turn, claims that Jeff clearly has lived a
privileged life. She tells her friend Mario that Jeff cannot possibly understand what
it's like to be poor in this society.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

our founding fathers introduced the revolutionary idea that each person's desire to pursue their idea of happiness was not self-indulgence, but a necessary driver of a prosperous society. they created a government to defend that right for everyone.
