Write an essay in which you make an argument about the this story and how it relates to libertarianism, meritocracy or egalitarianism, and the merits/flaws with that system.What Do We Deserve?

What do we deserve

In “What Do We Deserve?”, Namit Arora considers the problems that emerge when we confuse economic and social outcomes with merit or worth; in other words, when we assume that economic or social outcomes equate to “moral desert” (59).

Such misperceptions are an outcome of stories of social mobility that are central to American culture, and Arora argues that resisting these misperceptions requires “telling new kinds of stories” (59). Locate a story of economic justice (or injustice) and analyze it in order to discover the lessons in fairness and deserving that it imparts.

Write an essay in which you make an argument about the this story and how it relates to libertarianism, meritocracy or egalitarianism, and the merits/flaws with that system. Your example could be factual (a story of a small-time investor who made it big in crypto-currency) or fictional (a story of a grasshopper who loved to party even when the ants didn’t).

Your essay should apply specific ideas and quotes from Arora as a lens to help you analyze your selected example and what it tells us about economic justice and fairness. You will need at least three sources, minimum one for the story and two backing up claims with facts.

How can her educational excellence be said to make her an example of the system even as she criticizes the system and what it’s done to her indigenous values and views?How does it call into question what it means to be “American”? Is “American” a cultural construction, because if not, who would be more “American” than the people who were here before European colonizers?

Read “The School Days of an Indian Girl,” “An Indian Teacher Among Indians” and “The Great Spirit” in the book American Indian Stories by Zitkala-Sa

In these stories, Zitkala-Sa describes contradictory feelings about the education system for American Indian tribal members. She feels differently about the system at different times, but the development of her feelings toward and her understanding of the system isn’t even or smooth. For example, even after she comes to certain conclusions about negative impacts of the American Indian boarding school system, she excels in that system, and even after she understands how the system’s purpose is to make its pupils less “Indian” and more “American,” she comes to teach for it.

How do you explain these paradoxes and contradictions? How do Zitkala-Sa’s writings show her caught between two different worlds with different values? How do her writings show her both harmed by the American Indian boarding school system and succeeding in it?

How can her educational excellence be said to make her an example of the system even as she criticizes the system and what it’s done to her indigenous values and views?

How and why can both points of view, even as they seem contradictory, be said to be valid? How does the stated educational purpose of the boarding school system for American Indians, to make its students less “Indian” and more “American” seem problematic?

How does it call into question what it means to be “American”? Is “American” a cultural construction, because if not, who would be more “American” than the people who were here before European colonizers?

Where does Zitkala-Sa, an “American Indian,” fit between “American” and “Indian,” and how does her experience with the boarding school system demonstrate that difficulty?
