ABSTRACT

No other country in the Western world has as high a level of inequality of wealth and incomes compared to the United States and none offers less opportunity for intergenerational mobility. Just the opposite, mobility has been decreasing greatly over the last thirty years while inequality has increased, and young people earn less than their parent’s generation. All of this is a result of conservative tax, budget and economic policies since the 1970s that have left the U.S. as more of a class-stratified society than Great Britain. Children born into poverty are very likely to remain in poverty all their lives ...

Overview

The future of mobility is dictated by the changes in the current policies as well as the changing trends and challenges that relates to the transportation sector. However, existing policies addresses the concerns about the future of mobility and these policies demonstrate significant impact to that future. Debates surrounding the issue with the current policies suggests that the prevailing policies are rather bias in favor of private vehicles. These policies has immense impact to the future of mobility. Therefore, these policies needs to be reviewed to better understand the context of these policies and to have a clear view of ...

Introduction

In a society that expresses itself by some type of status hierarchy, such a society people naturally may move up or down in the system throughout their lives. This widely opens the definition of social mobility which simply refers to how far and easily a person can move in the social system. This is the term that used to describe the movement of different individuals or families through a system of social hierarchy (Breiger, 1990). There are two major types of social mobility; social mobility within the career of individuals and social mobility between generations. The intergenerational mobility is social mobility between ...

The increased use of wireless and mobility technology that came towards the end of the twentieth century has led to the creation of many gadgets that enable movement and connectivity of people at the same time. In the past wire connection was a must for someone to communicate with another, but presently people communicate at any part of the world using a hand held device. The information and technology sector has greatly been accelerated by the fast revolution that plays a great role in ensuring success in the area of wireless and mobility. The wireless and mobility concept ensures that an individual ...

Economic segregation can be defined as the extent to which persons of different social classes live amongst each other. A study conducted in 2010 indicates that roughly 76 percent of people in the United States live in middle class. This has changed rapidly overtime. Economic segregation is mostly associated with racial discrimination. Racial segregation on the other hand refers to separation of certain races of people, mostly facilitated by income disparities. In a normal society, the tendency of people to identify themselves with a certain class is common. These classes are based on factors such as social status, income levels, race, ...

Abstract

Perhaps, most people in the world believe that United States is the place to access greener pastures. Therefore there are many immigrants to america.The immigrants get into United States through illegal and legal means so as to access the opportunities believed to exist, (The Great Migration, 2002). In most cases the concept of social class is linked to social identity, ecomomic role and political affiliation, (Devine, 1997). Status consistency puts into consideration the plurality of status in society. Each member of the society is ranked in different hierarchies. Individuals are claimed to have consistent status if the status he ...

Across the globe, the levels of success of students and academic institutions have been questioned. Specifically, the quality of education has been criticized. The argument is based on that the modern day job market has been dominated by graduates who fail to satisfy the required professional qualifications. Consequently, organizations have resulted to retaining employees of old age who have massive professional experience in their fields. The effects of this trend have been significant in the society. For instance, the widening wage gap has been on the increase with teenagers failing to surpass the success of their older generations. In ...

The Asian American Literature has a long term of influence on the quality of living among the people. Several myths of mobility are inscribed within the American and Asian histories of literature.

Early1900s America society was populated with a few haves and many, many have-nots. Those that had power and money did whatever they could to keep the status quo. Industrialists and big city politicians worked together to stay rich by forcing the working class to stay poor. Yet by 1970 the working class was no longer on the bottom but instead it had become solidly middle class. The differences between 1900 and 1970 are reviewed in terms of social mobility in order to understand whether or not social mobility was greater in 1900 or in 1970. It will become clear that ...

International Finance Trilemma

After 2007-2012 global economy recessions, many nations are striving to sustain their economy stability in the efforts of meeting the respective governments and citizens’ fundamental needs. Primarily, Trilemma of international finance hold that a country or nation cannot concurrently peg the exchange rate, maintain the independent monetary policy and permit free financial flows cross-borders (Feenstra & Taylor, 2008). International finance Trilemma states that under no given scenario that a country will enjoy steady foreign exchange rates, capital mobility and monetary policy that is independent. Based on international finance Trilemma, the central bank is often tasked to ensure that the economy is stable ...

Abstract

A large amount of the existing research work that has been carried in mobile networking are mainly based on the assumption that there is an existence of a path between the sender and the receiver. Decentralized mobile systems are however exemplified by network partitions and this has been one of the main driving factors towards the study and implementation of the fully context-aware protocols. This protocol is mainly based on the fact that nodes can be exploited as carrier of messages in the network partitions in order to attain delivery of network components. The nodes in context aware protocol can ...

Twenty three percent (23%) of this population is above eighteen (18) years of age and can legally drive a motor vehicle across the United States’ 3,531,905 square miles of land . Transportation is made up of three very distinct components, transportation infrastructure, vehicles and transportation operations. Infrastructure in ...

In addition to the fact that Tiebout's assumptions are unrealistic, as mentioned before, even with these assumptions he did not provide a mathematical proof of the equilibrium in his article. Some scholars tried to formalize the model and suggest that the model does not work as we would expect from a pareto optimal general equilibrium model. Bewley (1981) showed that Tiebout equilibrium does not have a Pareto optimal solution unless we add some other restrictive assumptions to the model. He provided a series of examples which highlights the inefficiency of Tiebout model. Moreover, as the reviewed literature shows, relaxing Tiebout’s assumption does ...

Section A

In the US, the income level is unevenly distributed due to several factors. The first factor is education. Due to industrialization and growth of the private sector in the US, there is high demand for highly skilled labor in terms of academic qualifications. Therefore, individuals with Bachelor’s Degrees are preferred to those who have a college degree (Weissman, 2012). The level of certified expertise becomes a critical determiner of the job entry level and chances of upward mobility. Due to this factor, income inequality between the highly qualified professionals and the average working class is high. As the working life ...

Introduction

There are fundamental gender differences in organizational management styles, values, leadership strategies and policy preferences, which constitute barriers to women’s ascendancy to the highest levels of leadership. These differences not only condition women’s leadership/managerial styles, but also shape the effectiveness of any such styles, which in turn reflect on their participation in public administration. This paper distils the existent conceptual, theoretical and empirical models on public administration, gender disparities, and underlying factors that prevent women’s upward mobility as well as the subsequent effect on organizational outcomes. Ultimately, however, management and leadership styles in any context continue ...

There are various ways of defining a social class depending on the author. Marxists its membership is determined by ones relationship to means production .This refers to what one does within the society as a way of producing goods and services. According to Marxists capitalists owned the means of production and they occupied the upper most social class while worker labored in the factories owned by the capitalists producing the wealth for the capitalists and they occupied a lower social class. Bourgeoisies was a class of professionals between the capitalists and the workers and they had characteristics of both the two classes Modern ...

Social mobility is the social standing of persons with regard to their classes and position in the social hierarchy. People move from one position in their social standing to the other depending on different factors that directly affect them. In the context of socioeconomic and political problems, the lives of many people are affected negatively, and this affects their social mobility. Naturally, it is expected that move up the hierarchy (vertical mobility) and not downwards. Mobility is usually enabled by many aspects. Human and social capital can act as a standard gauge that can influence the change. When people ...

In recent years, there has been a tremendously huge debate on whether public transportation is more sustainable than privately owned vehicles such as cars. There are those who believe that public transportation like buses, trains, and airplanes are more sustainable than cars because they operate at full capacity while cars only carry few passengers at a time. However, while taking into account sustainability and public transportation, some people argue that buses and trains do not run at full capacity. Each mode of major public transportation affects the environment in various ways, and plays a role in land use patterns encouraged by investment. ...

System Justification

Even though racism is a severe violation of human dignity, it was the status quo in the corporate world and personal lives of people during the 1990s. However, the system justification theory explains that some people are interested in maintaining the political, economic, or social norms that are considered status quo, even though they are detrimental to certain social groups. Racial prejudice and discrimination are the central themes in the novel “Brothers and Sisters.” Campbell (1995) was motivated to write the novel after the beating of Rodney King to depict the status of African Americans in the US. The ...

Use of new technologies, such as, the internet increases the ability to access employment, thus facilitating upward social mobility (Kenyon, Rafferty and Lyons 154). However, social mobility, in this situation, creates a negative effect on job opportunities. First, competition for the top jobs becomes stiff, since no one wants to obtain a low-paying job, due to their desire of attaining upward mobility. Second, individuals shun low paying jobs due to fear of a downhill move in social class. Besides, advancements in technological innovation are making jobs disappear, increasingly. New technology has led to the invention of machines that have the capacity to ...

We Must Tell Our Own Story

Introduction

There exists in the world of sociology some controversy between two theories of thought. The debate is usually over a question like this “Which has more control over an individual’s life agency or structure?” One side argues that people are confined behind the boundaries of social structures. How a person behaves within the structure is controlled by the boundaries or his perception of the boundaries. How a person acts depends on how the social structure (or hierarchy of social structures) “allows” him to act. There is free will only as it fits into the power structure of social systems. ...

The issue of airline safety and security is at the forefront of current popular debate and discussion. This is not surprising, given the numerous cases that have plagued the airline industry in the past year. Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 370, for example, disappeared off the coast of Malaysia in March of this year, becoming the second deadliest aviation incident involving a Boeing 777. Another Malaysia Airlines flight assumed the top spot when it was shot down over Ukrainian airspace on July 2014. All 298 people were killed. With these recent developments, a number of issues have sprung up that question the ...

When one thinks of the American Dream, one thinks of the immigrant from the early 20th century, poor and unmoored, seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time and working hard to make a better future for themselves and for their families. With the untold potential of America at that time, it was entirely possible to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and become a success. However, in the past few decades, this potential has been slowly and surely eroding; in Holly Sklar's essay "The Growing Gulf Between the Rich and the Rest of Us," America is identified as a country ...

Why is movement important for heritage planning for living historic cities?

The importance of space and movement in cities is well recognized in many disciplines including sociology (Goffman, 1963, 1972; Lefebvre, 1991), geography (Christaller, 1933; Ullman, 1954; Weber, 1921) architecture and urban studies (Jacobs, 1961; Hillier, 1996). For example, in his urban sociological studies, Goffman (1972) looked at movement or flow to uncover the meaning of social interaction and cultural production in a general sense. He referred to mobility as an aspect of urbanity in a number of examples and empirical discussions. Goffman also developed a rich vocabulary for describing mobility in urban life impacting the way we think about self and other, ...

Introduction

Social stratification refers to a system by which individuals in society are ranked in a hierarchy on the basis of power, prestige or property. Stratification is a characteristic of society that persists over generations, creating a pattern of social inequality. In this case, the social inequality is attributed to unfair distribution of societal resources on a regular, wide-scale basis along the lines of certain specific, identifiable characteristics (Tumin, 1985). The most identifiable forms of social stratification are caste and class systems, which are practiced in various parts of the world.

The caste system

The term caste is derived from the Spanish word ‘casta’ which can loosely mean ‘ ...

The term “American Dream” can be described as the traditional social ideals of freedom, equality and opportunity achievable by all individuals in the U.S. It traces its roots to the declaration of American independence when everyone was regarded to be equal and endowed with inalienable rights to life, pursuit to happiness and liberty. It established an ideology which provided for freedoms guaranteeing success, upward social mobility accomplished through determination and hard work. This necessitated people to work hard to pursue higher education which was perceived to be a direct ticket towards its accomplishment. However, this dream was threatened after the ...

INTRODUCTION

With increasing emergence of cellular computing and internet, cellular wireless technologies have found its way into the limelight to supplement the increasing demand for wireless data services. Existing data services pose a challenge for the delivery of quick easy and cheap connections. The current wireless technologies are based on circuit switched radio transmission. This transmission process allocates a channel to a single user in a network for an entire communication period and when the traffic levels reach a certain threshold inefficient resource utilization is likely to be observed. Therefore the transmission method is ineffective and in order to satisfy the user demands, better methods ...

Introduction

Mobility is a significant basis for quite a number of private and economic activities. Thus, it forms a critical part of our everyday life. In many countries, mobility demand is mainly met by road traffic, with modern automobiles and road networks allowing for a high level of individual mobility. However, there are issues that are a consequence of this mobility. For example, mobility results in significant environmental problems in terms of carbon dioxide emissions that are mainly attributed to the burning of gasoline. Another problem is the declining fuel reserves and the subsequent rise in oil prices which translates to rising fuel prices. For ...

Abstract

The United Nations convention on the rights of persons with disabilities estimates the world population of people with disability to be approximately 10% of the world population. As a minority, people with disabilities have been greatly overlooked. In fact, very little is actually understood concerning the relationship between community mobility and urban planning. Urban planning not only influences settlement in the neighborhood and accessibility but also plays a big role in determining the inclusion or exclusion of people living with disabilities in the day to day happenings of the city. Is there justice in the urban life for the people with ...

There are several benefits to using business mobility. The first benefit is that it can enhance mobility.
