Robber Barons In the late 1800's, many men made fortunes by taking unfair advantage of natural resources, cheap labor, or their influence over the government to build up their businesses. These men became known as robber barons.
What do you think would drive a person to become a so-called robber baron? Do you think the way such people run their businesses is wrong? Explain whether or not you think there are robber barons today.
I think that someone who is poor and can't handle a business or business is poor then those people may drive themselves to become a Robbin Baron. Also I think there are Robber Barons today all over the world most of them trying to make money and make their business powerful.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jackie Zhang because the more poor people they are then there will be more Robbin Baron that exist.
DeleteIm sorry its suppose to be Robber Barron i typed it wrong :(
Deletethe people who are poor i doubt they can make a company and suddenly have it successful. i think the poor would try to find a job that has a robber baron running it.
Deleteif they are not making money &' there is no wrong way to run a buisnesss because it is your buisness so you can do what you want &yes there are rober barons today because there are con artist
ReplyDeleteI think something that will drive a person to become a so-called robber baron is that if the person that make fortune by taking unfair advantage of natural resources, cheap labor, or their influence over the government to build up their businesses. I think people who run businesses like this is wrong and I think Robber Baron still exist in this world because there are more and more poor people who earn money from these jobs
ReplyDeleteExcuse my grammer :P
DeleteDo not so much worry about your grammar instead worry about your response. Though I am not saying to ignore the way you write it.
DeleteI think what got people to become "Robber Baron" was for their own good to build up their businesses. Yes i think its wrong how there running their businesses because there taking unfair advantages without caring how other people felt about it.
ReplyDeleteI Think that people that dont have money steal, they cant afford it. The steal for a living.
ReplyDeletethat is a good idea because those people may have owned very little money or they can't get a job or their business is poor and they go broke
DeleteJamal does this address the question that I have put before you to answer
DeleteThey would become a Robber Barron because they were broke and needed the money really badly, and yeah the way they run their buisness is wrong because they were taking advantage of the natural resources and taking advantage of the government too. Yes there are still robber barons today because they're poor and they need the money.
ReplyDelete- ashley :(
DeleteAshley your responses should require more than a frowny face
DeleteI think they can only do bad things and not good thing so they called themselves Robbin Baron and ever since they probably only did bad things like giving bad deals and forcing them to trade with them.I don't think they're business is fair.I still think Robbin Baron still exists today.
ReplyDeleteI think someone who is poor and can not make money may drive themselves to become a Robbin Baron.I think there are no more Robbin Barons today,because I think there are no more natural resources in the world.
ReplyDeleteI think thatis wrong because there stealing money and there poor .There still people today that do that and do it for unnecessary
ReplyDeleteI think that Robbin Barron are people who are not making a lot of money.i think its wrong the way people run their businesses because they would be stealing money from others because they can't afford it.
ReplyDeleteI disagree Marjona because it IS the Robber Barron who makes the money and the workers who do not. He or she makes a majority of their profit based on the work the people who work for them do.
Deletei think money or power would drive a person to become a robber baron. i do you think the way such people run their businesses is wrong because it's like stealing. i do thnk there are robber baron now because no matter when, people would need or greed for money.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you when you say people would become a robber baron for either power or money. I also agree with you when you said that they're people who are very greedy for money these days and would do anything for it.
Deletei also think that money can change a person they become greedy
ReplyDeleteI do agree with you Jissell, however, does this answer the question you have been asked to answer?
DeletePeople have many money, and they opened their own business. I think the robber baron ran the business in the wrong way, because they don't have skill of opening the business, so how can they open the business and don't communicate to others.
ReplyDeletei think people bacame robber barons because they want to earn more money and have their items popular to the world so everyone would buy them they also change the laws to help them.i think it isnt wrong because they earned it for making a great product but the law changing is wrong because changing a law is going to affect many other people in the society.i think that there is baron robbers but i dont think they were very successful because if people are very greedy something bad might happen to them.
ReplyDeletewhat drive a person to be a robber baron is someone that want more money. i think they are wrong since it is unfair. only rice company can do this since it takes money and small company can't do anything to stop it
ReplyDeleteI think people became Robber Barons because they want to make money. And there's a lot of Robber Barons all over the world today.
ReplyDeleteRobber barons are motivated by money.It was not right to do that because they are unfair to other businesses and their own workers.I have no idea of who are some robber baron today.
ReplyDeleteI partially agree with you because there're more than one reason that people become a robber baron.
DeleteI think people bacame robber barons because people want to make money and want to become rich. I think the way they are earning money is not the right thing to do but in this recent world people would do anything to earn money and bring fortune to their life. There is several robber barons today as what I had said people would do anything to become millionairess.
ReplyDeleteI think i agree with jordan because he got the same idea as i do.
ReplyDeleteWhat drive people to be a robber baron was that they tried to make more money than others. It is unfair because they are too greedy and selfish .I think there are few robber baron today
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that they are greedy and selfish
DeleteI think there are many people are Robber Barons today, because in order to get richer they have to have a evil heart and hurt others enable to bring fortune to his or her life.`
ReplyDeleteI think people became robber barons because people wants to have more money and want to get rich by selling their stuff.
ReplyDeleteI think it is because they are poor and try to be robber and become rich but it is the wrong way to do.
ReplyDeleteThey becomes robber barons because they wants money. I feel fine people run business that way. 'Cuz everyone want to make money, so they need to think different ways to make money. I don't blame them if they are doing this.
ReplyDeleteI think they become robber barons because they want money and they do it the bad way.I think they are wrong
ReplyDeletei think people became robber barons because people want money and does kind of people are greedy and mean
ReplyDeletei think they becomes robber barons because they are poor and robber barons can made a lot of money.they need to find different ways about making money because a lot people will offer the same and you need to fight with them,to get the job.i didn't want to blame them for doing this because they need money and they are poor i think
ReplyDeleteI think that they are taking opportunites to earn money by the people around them.
ReplyDeletethe people become robber barons because they wants money.i thinks the way robber barons run business is fine .i think in today 's world there were more robber barons
ReplyDeletei think a person became robber because they want things other people have.
ReplyDeleteI think what drives people to become a robber baron is when they are running low on money or need it very urgently. I do think that the way they are earning money isn't right and the way they are running their businesses isn't right. I think they're many robber barons these days because a lot of people need money urgently lately and they think that their only solution is to take money from other's hard work which is 100% unfair.
ReplyDeletei agree with u atifah but i think its the power that they get from their company that turns them into robber barons
Deletei think what causes people to become robber barons is too much power from their succesful business.i think the way robber barons run their business is not a way to work because their taking advantage of people who have no power over them so the workers cant do anything.i think there r plenty of robber barons today because they may not show it in public but maybe in private
ReplyDeleteTheir may be many robber barrons today because robber barons take bad decisions and take advantage and thats is a example of bad people like robbers and many people that hve a hard life. -----samiha akter
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because robber barons react very selfish when it comes to money maybe. ---- samiha akter
ReplyDeleteThey would become a Robber Barron because they were broke and needed the money really badly. I think the way robber barons run their business is not a way to work because their taking advantage of people who have no power over them so the workers cant do anything.(Jamima Priti and Maham Rasheda)
ReplyDeleteit is unfair to other people and it was not a way to work. too much power from their succesful business.
ReplyDeleteReason that might drive people to become a robber baron probably had something to do with their childhood experiences; they had experienced adversity when they were little, which leads to the both verbal and emotional bullying. As they grow older, the impacts of year-long bullying would release and express as some particular ways when they face the same problem as they're little. Thereby, in my opinion, the way they run their business is wrong because they take advantage of someone ( who might have the same experiences as them ) and bribe the government to do what they want. However, there're still a lot of robber barons that exists in every part of world, though maybe is not the same reason I mentioned above. But, what they do is just to feed their greediness based on others' hard lives.
ReplyDeleteI think that greed and a big ego would drive a person to become a so-called robber baron because that's human beings are, have always been, and always will be. Once someone gets what they want, later on, they'd want more and more. Since they can get "whatever they want" now, they're ego would grow and drive them to a state where they'd pass strict limits in order to continue getting more. I think the way such people run their businesses today is wrong because others get cheated in a way where it can cause severe problems for them. It's like taking candy from a happy child. Taking advantage of a lot of power in order to keep yourself rich and somewhat famous is wrong, selfish, and certainly not necessary. I think there are robber barons today because people can be greedy, egoists, and selfish. They are speculations of people who are already taking advantage of the government. Once you have something big, you're going want something else even bigger after you're bored with it.
ReplyDeletewhat would drive a person to become a so-called robber baron was that he or she want to be rich I think the way such people run their businesses is wrong because they were cheating I think there are robber barons today because there few of them trying to get help from the government even though they don't need it.
