the american dream

I agree with what George Carlin says that corporations are using the concept of the american dream to force people into submission in some way. I believe this because people work as hard as they can and most of them don't get anywhere with it. People get screwed over everyday especially when it comes to their jobs. Even thought i believe this i think in a way it does bind us all together because it gives us hope for a better life then the one we have now. Even though that hope is false hope. I also think immigrants coming to america with a dream is still intact. Immigrants come here for a better life than the ones they had because of course this is suppose to be the land of the free. that means people are free to make their own choices and do what they want even though that's not always the case.

class and education

I worked in a place where your education didn't really matter because i got taught what to do as soon as i started. i was trained while working there. I worked at a library, I still do. I got taught how to do everything i did working at a library. At the library back at home i would help check books in, look for things on the microfilms, and organize the DVDs. At the library on campus i put things in to the computer, shelf read, check in journals, etc. For things like this your education doesn't really matter. The most you need to know is how to use a computer, how to write and the alphabet all the other things you are taught to do. I don't think i really was treated different because of where i worked i was treated pretty much the same but i think that is because i am still young and in college. I don't think the level of education a worker has should determine the amount they are paid or treated. we are all people. i would expect someone to treat me according to my personality not how much schooling i have. schooling doesn't account for what you learn through experiencing something.
