"is it wicked to be we all agree that he is a good member of society who works his way up from poverty to wealth, but as soon as he has worked his way up we begin to regard him with suspicion, as a dangerous member of society. a newspaper starts the silly fallacy that ‘the rich are rich because the poor are industrious,' and it is copied from one end of the country to the other as if it were a brilliant apothegm. 'capital' is denounced by writers and speakers who have never taken the trouble to find out what capital is, and who use the word in two or three different senses in as many pages… all the denunciations and declamations (of the wealthy and powerful) which have been referred to are made in the interest of ‘the poor man.' his name never ceases to echo in the halls of legislation, and he is the excuse and reason for all the acts which are passed. he is never forgotten in poetry, sermon, or essay. his interest is invoked to defend every doubtful procedure and every questionable institution. yet where is he? who is he? who ever saw him? when did he ever get the benefit of any of the numberless efforts in his behalf? when, rather, was his name and interest ever invoked, when, upon examination, it did not plainly appear that somebody else was to win—somebody who was far too ‘smart' ever to be poor, far too lazy ever to be rich by industry and economy? " —william graham sumner, from what the social classes owe to each other, 1883 using the excerpts, answer a, b, and c. briefly explain the point of view about the gilded age expressed by the writer. briefly explain how the concept of social darwinism relates to the events or views expressed in the document. briefly explain one event or idea from the period 1865–1898 that could be used to support or refute the views expressed in the document. your responses:

a. The writer expresses a point of view within his writing that pushes the idea that money is not bad and the rich are not always evil and greedy. He brings recognition to how some people come from poverty and work extremely hard to achieve wealth, and though they have not changed as an individual, members of society start to change their opinion and view of them. The writer seems to disagree with this common view of the rich and the Gilded Age as a whole, rather implying wealth is well earned. b. Social Darwinism goes hand in hand with the concept of natural selection. It was used to justify conservatism, racism, and imperialism in order to discourage thoughts and/or plans of reform. The theory of Social Darwinism relates to the views presented in this document because William Graham Sumner implies that people are against the events going on in the time period of the Gilded Age. Sumner's document was most likely written to try to discourage any ideas of intervention or reformation, while simultaneously justifying the overly wealthy . C. The Panic of 1873 was primarily caused by the abundance of investments in railroads. While the Gilded Age progressed, so did the investments in railroads. Over-expansion in the industry and these railroads caused a financial crisis that triggered economic depression lasting until 1877. This is an argument to refute the views within Sumner's document, because though he acted like everything was going to be alright and there was no need for reform, the Panic of 1873 was a consequence.

Explanation:

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
