Essay
Dozens of people are being arrested everyday from protesting in America.
No matter where and when, it’s all for the same reason, complaining to the
government and claiming for tax cuts. This protest is an immature behavior.
People say 99% people are poor and can’t live a stable happy family, well that’s
nonsense, because what I see there are only 20% of the people who are actually
unemployed and won’t live a stable life. Others are just complaining because the
government is giving money to the rich people but not making the public more
fair. I will tell more about it further in the essay. People believe this is going to be
a change like the Renaissance, but the truth is no, it won’t change. The
Renaissance is a new beginning for arts, science and beliefs. While the protest is
about changing rules and laws for the citizens to have a better life. Although the
people who are against the wall street protest have something Machiavellian in
them. Machiavellian means dishonesty, leadership and self-centered. In this essay
I will be discussing the relationship between the wall street protest, Machiavellian
and the Renaissance.
The Renaissance was a new beginning to Europe. It brought hope and future
to everybody and shaped the modern world. It was a change in art, science and
beliefs. Although the wall street protest is only trying to change political views. In
the Middle Ages, there was no life in Europe. Everyone fell for a fraud, which is the
belief system. There’s nothing wrong with believing in Jesus, praying for him and
worshiping. However, there’s always a limit, you can’t lie to your people to live
2. more fortune, it’s obviously a very immature selfish behavior. But the occupying
wall street protest is different situation. The government aren’t just giving money
for the rich people to live happier, they give money to support the country. U.S is
now facing a economic crisis, in order to face it the government have to give their
money to the people who have the ability to recover the problem. Therefore there
is a clear difference between the two events. The wall street protest is not
important, there has been no change so far and won’t change in the world better.
According to the recent news, 99% of the people are poor and 1% of the U.S
is controlling all the money when they are already rich. There are events
happening on the streets, unhealthy issues which leads to dozens of people being
arrested everyday. Do you really think this can change the government? The
country’s economy is more important than the “fake” 99% U.S citizens. In fact, lots
of protests have already ended without success, people gave up because
technically there are only 15% who are living in a poor situation. No matter how
hard the people try, the government won’t fulfill everyones expectations and give
everyone a new fair life, because they have priorities. As we all know, the U.S is
facing a large economic difficulty. In order to keep the country rich and working
they have to support the people who have the ability to work for the country, and
that is exactly what the government is doing right now. It’s logical, the people
cannot live without an economic. If the government gives all the money to the
citizens and giving everyone a new fair life, the same problem will happen again.
People cannot expect to earn free money from protesting, they have to accept the
fact that the country has financial problems and that’s the way the deal with it.
3. Example China, at the beginning almost every person lived without a professional
job, everyone did farming and lived a simple poor life. Now, that period of China
has disappeared, this is when the people are supposed to be protesting for
fairness. The protestors are relying on the country, slowing the progress down,
destroying their own country, leaving no path for their future generations of
America.
“Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil.” -Niccolo
Machiavelli. Machiavelli is a great Italian statesman and political philosopher. He
was so great that his name turned into an adjective, Machiavellian; which means
dishonesty, self-centered, and leadership. The 1% of the people in U.S have
something Machiavellian in them. First of all, the government in Machiavellian.
Machiavelli gave support to politicians and leaders, even though Machiavelli is
more intelligent. While the government is giving support to the rich people, even
though the government is more powerful. From the whole point of view, it is
unfair for only 1% of the U.S to have all the money. But in order to success
(recovering financial crisis), they have to be self-centered with that money so they
are motivated to work hard. According to Machiavelli, you have to be self-
centered to be a successful leader. The 1% are being self-centered with the money
right now to deal with a bigger problem that is more significant than the 15% of
the people who are living in a poor situation.
Summing up, the Renaissance was a change in beliefs, art and science,
whereas the wall street protest is trying to change for laws and politics. The whole
