In the early 20th century, commonly referred to as the “Lochner Era”, the Supreme Court of the United States protected businesses by rejecting State-regulated economic regulations (Choudhry 2004, 6).

Parrish, which involved, Elsie Parrish, a chambermaid at the West Coast Hotel, who sued the Cascadian Hotel (owned by the West Coast Hotel Company,) for not having been paid the legal minimum wage (West's Encyclopedia of American Law).

Going to school to get an education is what every parent aspires their child to do. Parents want the best for their children, to be accepted and to learn to their fullest extent just like every other child their age. However, there are many children and families who are not as privileged when it comes to receiving these certain opportunities. I ask myself a simple question: is education really taken for granted as if it is just a given and not a privilege? It seems that these days, going to school and learning is just expected. Nobody takes the time to realize how privileged they are to have an education, where they can learn to express themselves creatively and form opinions when thinking for themselves without others affecting you.…
