, Introduction
My aim in compiling this portfolio was to reflect on the things that have struck me
throughout this crazy module.
My starting point for doing this was to revisit my opinions to the multiple choice questions which
were presented in the Crossroads assignment. I present these current opinions, together with my
original opinions, and some brief notes in the section entitled: “Back at the Crossroads!”
Once I have done this, I draw some key conclusions about this crazy module and about the
things that did indeed strike me.
Back at the Crossroads!

about it.

(Rawls, 1971) So how is possible and acceptable that the wealth of the few should depend on the
poverty of many? I still maintain that we all ought to do something about poverty, if we would all apply
this principle then I do believe that we would be moving in the right direction into eradicating poverty,
the few that are already wealthy should consider or let me say the government should be considering
redistribution of wealth in the world, that is our only hope to eradicating poverty in the whole world.
It's true that most wealthy and prosperous people take advantage of others because doing so provides
benefits. Exploiting the system of low pay is the foundation of Bob Van Dijk's success and fortune.
