Did you forget to say that this question is about "America and I" by Anzia Yezierska

Answer:

The central idea suggested by the author in this paragraph is that the American dream is a farce. Recognizing this weakness, the author does not regard the lecture "the happy worker and his work" as true for her.

Explanation:

The author of the article is a Russian woman who, still very young, immigrated with her family to the USA in search of the American dream and freedom. However, the author never managed to achieve the American dream and saw that even in America, the working class is oppressed and does not have its needs met, but is exposed to fallacies that build an illusion about how happy and privileged workers are.

Upon hearing the lecture on "the happy worker and his work" the author understands that the American dream is a scam, she will never reach it, because she will never have time to find it if she needs to work to survive, like most people in that country. For her, the lecture is a lie and no worker will be happy if he needs to work to survive. In this case, work is not an accomplishment, but an obligation.

Give me 5 facts for oligarchy
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
<span>The word “oligarchy” and the concepts which it symbolizes originated in ancient Greece. In its basic use, the word identified one of the general forms of government recognized by the Greeks: that in which political government is conducted by a few persons or families. It was also used more narrowly, by Aristotle for example, to refer to the debased form of aristocracy, that is, to government by the few or by a faction. The term “oligarchy” was also used to refer to the small group of persons who enjoyed a monopoly of political control in oligarchic governments; the term usually had the added sense that the oligarchy ruled in its own rather than in the public interest. For Aristotle, classification of governments rested on two independent variables: the number of persons who ruled and the purposes served by their rule. Oligarchy was present when a few persons ruled for their own satisfaction.</span>
