After students can recognize the struggle between large enterprises and organized labor, they ask students how to solve the dispute between the two groups. Enable brainstorming in groups

Discuss their answers to determine whether students can decide the role of the government in conflict resolution

Give cartoons 3 and 4 to the group and ask them to decide what the manga information is and how the manga represents the role of the government in solving the dispute.

Students study government policies to cope with large companies and labor disputes. When writing an assignment, you should explain at least three policies and discuss the effectiveness of policy / legislation.

In American politics there is a contradictory relationship between labor and business, going back to the Eugene V. Debs in the early 20th century and American socialist movement. Government, traditional democratic spells are used as countervailing force to combat competitive interests between business and labor, capitalist overcountry is managed and profits sharing equally in society as a whole To be done. For Democrats, this type of support fortress has drastically decreased in recent decades. As Andrew Prokop wrote in Vox:

For decades after the war there was an informal division of labor between the government and enterprises. The government will eliminate or eliminate the business cycle by manipulating federal budgets and interest rates. Under the influence of John Maynard Keynes, most economists believe that this is mainly a technical problem. At the same time, large companies (then IBM) will dominate the world economy and create innovation. For Americans, these companies will provide stable work, higher wages and more benefits (health insurance, pensions). Almost everyone can find a job in the "full employment" economy. Very poor people, people with disabilities, and the elderly are protected by a generous "safety net".

After their own problems, the government should leave the economy to business leaders. Some people think that the government's sole role is to protect property rights and the public order, including oppression of workers trying to organize strikes at times. Of course, workers have been trying to organize trade unions for a long time (workers' organizations promise higher wages and better working conditions), while socialists (people who believe the government will dominate the economy) We advocated democracy and government rule for a long time. business
