One of my favorite critics who specializes in economics said that If most people’s efforts are directed in the right path, they would be highly evaluated and that they will (2)go after happiness. However, Is it true? I know many courageous and talented people who died and remained poor, and suffered disappointments and inequality. Karl Marx, Vincent van Gogh, Martin Luther King, Jr. etc. These are but few people that come to mind. I have recently seen the movie “Young Karl Marx” and read the book “The Lucifer Effect”. A similar effect is brought on by the environment. Human nature is not so different, be one a proletariat or a capitalist. In the18th century, capitalists (1)glossed over a human rights. They ignored worker’s health conditions, and they (3)went for profit while operating their factories. If one were born in worker, it would be difficult to change one’s social standing even if one goes through (4)blood, sweat and tears. In recent years, many working-class people have been stood up against inequality. However, humans have created a more peaceful kind of equality in the 21st century. How did we accomplish it? In my opinion, It based on the sacrifice of philosophers or spokespeople who had a vision for the long-term.
