Myth of the American Dream

The Meritocracy Myth

"According to the ideology of the American Dream, America is the land of limitless opportunity in which individuals can go as far as their own merit takes them. According to this ideology, you get out of the system what you put into it. Getting ahead is ostensibly based on individual merit, which is generally viewed as a combination of factors including innate abilities, working hard, having the right attitude, and having high moral character and integrity. Americans not only tend to think that is how the system should work, but most Americans also think that is how the system does work (Huber and Form 1973, Kluegel and Smith 1986, Ladd 1994).

In our book The Meritocracy Myth (Rowman & Littlefield, 2004), we challenge the validity of these commonly held assertions, by arguing that there is a gap between how people think the system works and how the system actually does work. We refer to this gap as “the meritocracy myth,” or the myth that the system distributes resources—especially wealth and income—according to the merit of individuals."

Thomas More - extract from Utopia which hits home

"Though to speak plainly my real sentiments, I must freely own
that as long as there is any property, and while money is the
standard of all other things, I cannot think that a nation can be
governed either justly or happily: not justly, because the best
things will fall to the share of the worst men; nor happily,
because all things will be divided among a few (and even these are
not in all respects happy), the rest being left to be absolutely
miserable."

I think a cool description of shaman's

"What
distinguishes a payé [shaman] from others is that he is an
intellectual...He is a humanist, in the sense that he is interested in the
'pagan' antiquities of his own cultural tradition: in myths of origin, in
archaeological sites, in long forgotten place names, and in stories of
legendary migrations."

Get OpenOffice forget MS Office

Take a Test Drive - Keep the Car!

Microsoft offers you a "test drive" so that you can see what Microsoft Office 2007 might look like when it finally goes on sale.

The OpenOffice.org Community invites you to go one better - download a fully-functional, legal copy of the OpenOffice.org 2 office suite today for a test drive. If you like it, use it free for as long as you like. We say it's the ultimate no-strings-attached test drive - if you enjoy the test drive, keep the car!

• Like Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org 2 is a complete office suite, with a word processor, spreadsheet, presentations, drawing, and database.
• Like Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org 2 will happily use all your existing office files in MS-Word, MS-Excel, and MS-Powerpoint format
• Unlike Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org 2 is free of charge to use for any purpose: domestic, educational, government, commercial
• Unlike Microsoft Office, you don't have to worry that you may be taken to court to prove you have a valid licence
