In “What Do We Deserve?”, Arora takes a look at political philosophies and asks an important question: “How much of my good life do I really deserve?”. " He raises the argument that the competition of life is “rigged from the start” (Arora). How can the competition be organized so that it is fair to everyone? Society can start by leveling the playing field to give all equal opportunities, eliminating the idea of ​​winner versus loser and encouraging and rewarding hard work and natural talents. Once the system is fixed, we will see that those who put in the effort and take advantage of their gifts will be successful and truly deserving of their earnings. .A form of meritocracy is employed in the United States. This system recognizes and corrects socioeconomic disadvantages (Arora). Although efforts have been made to correct the problem, many continue to fail even getting worse. The Lee County School District, a district that boasted no “F” or “D” grade schools in 2010, now has three struggling schools and eight “D” grades. The number of 'A' level schools also fell from 60 in 2011 to 36 in 2013 (LCPS). How will this growing problem be solved, not only in the United States but around the world? One important action is to continue the effort to improve schools around the world. Schools in poorer areas of districts would benefit from more and better trained teachers and faculty. Other actions to help improve schools could include adding more leadership and extracurricular activities, encouraging students to focus and stay in school, and improving things like school lunch and recess. It is important that students enjoy being at school and enjoy learning, otherwise they will lose interest...... middle of paper ......er, what difficulties they have faced, those who deserve their victories.
