Sarah Whitestone- Advantages and Disadvantages


Living
in a capitalist society has its pros and cons. The advantage is that you are
capable of doing anything in this society. This means that the government has
little control over the businesses, therefore they can compete against each
other. This leads to people being able to choose what they would like to do for
a job. You also gain control over all of your money, they can choose to save
it, spend it, donate it, its all up to them. It gives people the right to own
their own property


The
disadvantages are that there is a large gap between the poor and the rich, “The
rich get richer and the poor get poorer.” So the wealthy, get their money
really easily, then the poorer ones work hard for the penny they get every day.
I feel as though everyone should get an equal chance in life. A capitalist
society is not fair to the people who can’t start on the top of the ladder,
once your at the top you have nowhere to go, the bottom all you can do is go up
but some of the rungs are missing so it makes it that much harder living in a
capitalist economy.
