Hello all! Welcome to my Project 2 Page! Here you will find my script, audio recording, and works cited page over my topic Inequalities in the Economy! By either listening to my podcast or reading my script, you will be able to see behind the curtain of our economy in regards to how most business practice discrimination and oppression in the application process and why. Starting with a brief summary as to why and when these ideas began in America, to explaining how it is prevalent in the world today, I use many in-depth studies and research papers to engage with you, the audience, and to illustrate the significance of these issues. Included are primarily American studies, with one additional study in Germany to show that these issues are beyond just America. I implore you to take a moment and listen to my finding in order to learn about this important topic in order to possibly help yourself or others! Thank you for listening and/or reading!
