The journal I have read was a journal that talks about the issues of the unequal and the unfair legal system that we have in the United States. In a recent report the U.S. has one of the greatest legal systems in the world. There is a catch to this great legal system which is the ability to afford the cost of the system and if you cannot have the afford then you are out of luck as a person. This is a terrible fact in this society because it shows that there is no justice for the little guy and all the benefits go to the big fat cats that can afford what ever they want to do. This shows that if a little guy has to go up against a big fat cat then the little man has to go up against a huge display of legal support and power that will likely end up in not winning the debate and loosing everything that he/she has that they needed to sell just to afford to stand up to them. This goes to en tale that lower groups cant have the same justice rights as a person in the higher social class. With this realization this shows a distinct culture shift with the distance between the lower class and a higher social class with the disappearance of a middle class.

  1. That sounds like a great journal to do our podcast on. Send me a link so I can read the full thing so we can begin writing our transcript.

  2. Well my partner hasn't posted anything yet, so I guess I’ll reply to your post for now. This sounds like a very interesting subject. I think it will make for a great podcast topic and will be easy to find interview questions pertaining to this topic. I would suggest further analyzing of the actual article rather than simply summarizing. This will allow further insight into the author’s position and any possible biased opinions that could make the paper an unreliable source of information. Also, look for any underlying message or bigger picture that the author is trying to show to the reader and any sense of persuasion being used.
