Dangerous Working Conditions

On January 10, 1860, there was a terrible accident at Pemberton Mill in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Seventy-seven people— mostly girls less than 12 years old—died when the building collapsed on them. The
victims' families were given very little compensation. One observer called it "the respectable millionaire homicide."

Do you think rich people are held to a different set of laws than other people?Explain.

  1. In my stand I think that rich people are held to a different set of laws than other people.Since they are considered with a lot of money people would want their hands on it too.So to get there they would do anything they can to get their hands on it.For food,shelter,women,or fame.Everyone would want at least one of those in the past.

  3. I think rich people are held to a different set of laws than other people because since they have lots of money they can bribe anyone to do anything for them. They also have the ability to sue you.

  5. I think that the rich has a different set of laws since they are paid more attention than the others because they are "rich".

  7. I think rich people are held to a different set of laws than other people because they have the power to get whatever they want because they have more money.
