Why does Zakaria think that social mobility is going down in the United States? What do you think about his conclusions?
He thinks that social mobility is going down in America because Americans are only funding institutions for the wealthy. The wealthy in America are only funding the wealthy, and the poor have no money to help their children succeed without a healthy welfare program. Which America does not have. I agree with most of his conclusions, although I do not think that the poor should get anymore money than they already do solely through welfare.
What is the biggest factor for getting the US back on track with the American Dream and social mobility? Why?
The biggest change that has to be made in America is a country wide public school system that is not only welcoming of all people, but also funded well. With a school system that has generous opportunities for all students and a well-equipped staff, all students will be equal, regardless of family history.
