For my groups presentation, I believe that we did a well job on keeping what we talked about to the point without any nonsense. We gave our audience the mot important information they needed to know and managed to have well put together explanations.
What could have been improved was the design we had for vertical and horizontal integration. The poster was all beat up and I believe that people couldn't see what we were exactly discussing with them. Other than this I believe that there was nothing else that could have been improved. Given what the teacher said, all presentations had gotten stronger with the next. So I suppose we were the strongest group because we went last. We kept if brief and to the core.
I pretty much know this because of the time span that presenting all of these chapters took. Plus our classmates were losing interest of paying attention. Evidently we saved our presentation for the next day when people were likely to pay more attention than they did before.

Do you think an individual today can rise from "rags to riches" like Andrew Carnegie did? Why or why not?
I guess it all depends on the product that you're trying to produce and sell. Lets say you want to be a manufacturer of a new guitar line. If you are able to produce them efficiently and make them last an extremely long time then yes I do believe an individual can rise from rags to riches.
But it's not the same as it was a hundred years ago. Nowadays we're running out of certain resources and that holds a great problem depending on what you're trying to sell. The more you have the less you can sell it for. The less you have, the price begins to range higher.
It is not really hard to start a business. The key factor in it is how you're able to get your product(s) out there in the world so you can make profit. The world works in weird ways all the time.

In this photo, I see a crowded room full of men. This place doesn't look healthy, given by what I see. It looks like everything is piled up onto other things. Looking at the faces of these men makes me feel like they're uncomfortable, and depressed. But ultimately shows the blank expression on their faces. "This is life." These men feel tired and over worked. All they have is a blanket to cover themselves up in.
Where do they store their food? I see bowls and pots, but no food storage. Is it illegal to store food in your compartment at that time? Did food have to be given to you?
These people are hit by the harsh realities of life. I am pretty sure that they aren't that well paid either. Is this because they are immigrants? I believe that this is unfair. Although this is a big part of life during this time period.
