Unites States History
Compare and contrast one of the men who made a fortune in the Industrial Revolution (i.e., Rockefeller, Carnegie) with someone who has made a fortune in today’s technology revolution (perhaps Steve Jobs or Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg). Areas to consider might include their socio-economic backgrounds, how they developed their business models, their charitable donations (and motivations), their treatment of workers (at all levels), and their involvement with anti-trust or other similar issues. Pick at least two areas to discuss. (Note: Please don’t cut and paste their bios from the Internet. We can all look that up ourselves– we want to hear your own thoughts and analysis of your reading. Just explain where you found the information.)
