Hernderson explains that economic studies indicate that increase in minimum wage entices teenage students to drop out of ...

This means that the rich do not make minimum wage as you have stated. The people who are affected are the working poor.
For that reason, I think that it is impossible for us to raise minimum wage for the poor because the poor who face challenges that result from low ...

Imperialism is the domination by a stronger group of a weaker group’s territory, customs, values, laws and institution (Hobson 44).

Imperialism has been seen to have far more negative effects on both the conquered and the imperialists. This has been demonstrated by George Orwell’s essays.
