Dorothy Day/Catholicism & the Poor
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that discusses the stance of Dorothy Day in regards to the Catholic Church and poverty in the Great Depression. Day was one of the co-founders of the Catholic Worker Movement, which began in the 1930s. With co-founder Peter Maurin, Day established the newspaper The Catholic Worker, started the Paulist Press and by 1936 had opened 33 Catholic Worker houses across the country, which offered a home and place of refuge to the poor. Day was originally attracted to Catholicism (she was not born Catholic) because she "felt that the Church was the Church of the poor" (Day 150). However, actual experience taught Day that the attitude of official Catholic organizations was that only the "deserving" poor should receive help and charity. As this indicates, Day felt that there was a distinct conflict between the Catholic Church, her religious belief, and the needs of the poor. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Economist John Kenneth Galbraith
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 3 page paper on economist John Kenneth Galbraith. Canadian-born economist John Kenneth Galbraith (1908- ) has long been considered as “America’s leading public intellectual”. Besides being a government and economic advisor to Presidents Roosevelt, Kennedy and Johnson, Galbraith has written a great deal about the destructiveness of capitalism and consumerism within American society; a perspective which is not only controversial but not well accepted by the monopolies and big businesses of today. More recently, Galbraith has taken a stance against the growing concern of globalization and believes that too is destructive to the poor within society. Today, Galbraith considers American democracy to be one of “a democracy of the fortunate” and since the collapse of several of the large monopolies, like Enron, is aware that his book “The Affluent Society” written in 1958 could be as relevant in today’s world as it was almost fifty years ago.
