The American work Ethic is something our Country should be proud of. Since the days of George Washington Americans have worked hard for what they believe in, what they need, and what they want. It is our right as Americans to be able to work for these ideals. Without out a strong work ethic our country would crumble. From businessmen to politicians a strong work ethic is necessary to keep our country financially and politically stable.
People like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and J.P. Morgan are men who possessed the intellect, the foresight, and most importantly the work ethic to become powerful industrialists.These men displayed their work ethic to the country by being ruthless and tireless. They started something so important that a hundred years later it is still making a huge contribution to our country (Maury Klein pg. 32).What they started was the industrial revolution. Today our country is the most powerful in the world because of our great wealth. This wealth comes from the strength of our industry. If thou does not sow, thou does not reap(Hofstadter Recon.-Present Day pg.79). Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Morgan are the epitome of this statement.
Some of these industrialists methods may not have
Had Rockefeller not been ruthless in building his railroad empire, our country would not have had as strong a railroad system. Without a railroad system industrial goods could not have been transported. If the goods were not transported, they were not sold. If they were not sold, the industry would have failed. If industry failed, the economy would have failed.
Had it not been for the ruthlessness and ingenious business skills possessed by people like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Morgan our country would not have the economical power it has today.
