How much longer will we wrestle for power over others before we learn we need each other. Women need men, and companies need blue-collar workers, and nations need Industries. The shortcomings in our society, are a sad reality of the downfall of the world's most power nation, America. In “Rich Are Getting Richer, and the Poor, poorer” along with “Wonder Women”, we see a marvelous example of these shortcomings. “Rich Are Getting Richer,”, discussed the fall of American companies and “Wonder Wowen”, exhorts the power of women's independence.

Who cares if our society labels it as a man's or women's job? To Wonder Women that was irrelivent. This is the drive towards independence and possible the mastery of your own unique person.

Thus, were the consiquesnces of “What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without recieving” (Mitche). Leaders will work, even if money were no object. It's not about the women having the power of money, but the ability to use her talents and stand for her value in this world. Riseing above the rejections of your peers, society, family and quit being vulneralbe takes a lot of strength. Each person is unique, and has a choice to stand up for their own self-identity as an individual. Never, ever compromise yourself, because if you do you lose, and they win by destroying the person you would have
