Chapter 6.

Question 6. Success in this world is measured by one thing "Human Capital". Without Human Capital survival is limited but possible. The in-depth analysis on page 134 really caught my eye. Wheelan talked about how Human Capital can benefit not only your future but the future of others around you. I like the idea that Human Capital is not about earning the most money it's about making us better and creating a socially acceptable community. Wheelan also brought up the idea that our community will become knowledgeable and healthy due to the openness we can possess to the needy and unfortunate. Education is foundation of success and without it our community will crumble. Take for instance what Wheelan said about putting 100,000 high school drop outs on a street corner in Chicago. This would lead to closing of stores and violent outbreaks, but if you switched those 100,000 students to High School graduates or College Graduates then business would grow and everyone would benefit. If our society can change those 100,000 drop outs into hardworking kids then greatness can be achieved.
