Major Decision-Making Settings
However, in recent years there has been several ominous long-term trends to contextually examine in relation to major decision-making settings, especially those regarding career choices and complementary education requirements.

For the first time of American history the expectation of increasing standards of living from generation to generation has reversed course.

And while horrendous political decisions have unquestionably contributed to many economic situations by burdening the citizenry with massive debt and a host of unsustainable social programs, a person must comprehend the difference in political reality and an individual’s reality.

    When this theory was developed, it was not unheard of for young adults to wait to decide on their career future until closer to adulthood or focus on careers the family had chosen for them. Today, adolescents are being encouraged to consider their futures at a much younger age. For example, in middle school students are encouraged to research their intended careers, thus putting them into a crisis much sooner. This could also allow for more uncertainty in the older adolescents and emerging adults. By finding their career earlier, they may feel that they must be committed to the field and thus once they reach adulthood and start entering the field they may find that they are not suited to the field and must go through diffusion again until they reach a conclusion of what they are suited…

    Many Americans believe that we live in a society that allows everyone the same opportunity for success. This however, is not the case. According to the article and many studies, this opportunity is decreasing and if nothing is done, the very ideals on which our country stands could no longer exist. Income inequality is growing and there are less chances for social advancement, especially for those who are in the lower classes. The United States is running the risk of turning into class-bases society, similar to those seen in Europe.…

    When compared to children in 1940 the average upward income mobility was 90 percent. According to Raj Chetty increasing the United States’ GDP is not enough to reverse the widening gap in equality. The GDP growth must be dispersed more evenly across income groups to see any real progress (Chetty, Grusky, Hell, Hendren, Manduca, Narang, 2017). As result the decline in upward mobility can be reversed as much as 70 percent (Chetty, Grusky, Hell, Hendren, Manduca, Narang, 2017). Without significant changes to how economic growth is distributed the downward trend is sure to…

    With the advances in medical technologies, people are able to live much longer than they did 100 years ago. Also, most people do not have to engage in hard labor in order to put food on the table. Years ago, most people had their own farms and provided their own food. Now grocery stores are on every corner, and bad harvest seasons no longer prevent families from getting a nutritional meal. Public assistance programs have also helped the quality of life. Now people who are not fortunate to receive high paying jobs can qualify for unemployment and food benefits. The average family of 3 can receive up to $200 to help with the cost of food. With these programs, less Americans are going to sleep without a meal. Also with public education, not only are children educated for free, but those that qualify can receive free meals at schools. It is so much easier to live the American dream. Now one can start at the bottom and work themselves to the top with a proper education. As long as a person has an education, the possibilities are endless. In the 1940’s it was all too common for children to drop out of grade school to help their parents on the farm. Now the high school graduation rates are on the rise. The drop out rate from high school dropped from 14% in 1980 to merely 8% by 2009. http://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator_scr.asp. However to make a decent living in today’s society,…

    The keystone to the American dream has always been the certainty that the next generation can do better economically than their parents. Americans pride themselves with the understanding that through hard work they can do better than those before them, but this may no longer be true. Climbing the economic and social ladder in the United States is becoming increasingly difficult and the middle class is shrinking. The decline of the middle class population in the United States can be attributed to an unfortunate cocktail of several factors. Among these factors are wage stagnation, tax policies more beneficial to the wealthy, the rise of the “gig economy,” the decline of unions, and globalization.…

    Instead of moving up in society today most families are realizing that they are starting to fall backwards on the "class latter." This is also true in other countries such as Cuba where Fidel Castro took control in 1959 with his military might and created "a period of perennial degeneracy for the Cuban people." Now we all know that the kinds of political problems we face here in the United States is no ware near that of second and third world countries but "we tend to have some problems of our own which are beginning to rip apart the very fabric of this nation."…

    Ten years from now, I don’t know how wealthy I will be. I don’t know what kind of job my husband will have, nor do I know what kind of job I will have. What I do know though is the American worker is struggling, and the struggles will most likely get worse. The United States used to pride itself on providing for its families through hard work. Today, most people lacking education beyond high school struggle to maintain a lifestyle they once dreamed of. Not only are high school graduates suffering but many college graduates are as well because so many jobs have been eliminated due to globalization and technology.…
