HartzIV 

Share definition Flag
Another term for Arbeitslosengeld II, a term for a social security benefit that is around 400€ that - not only, but mostly - unemployed can get. 1/3 of people who could get it doesn't request it, because the system is very painful for them. E.g. they have to accept every job - no matter what - if they don't want less money. Also they have to explain themself a lot of times, etc. And often they get things they need really late (e.g. bus tickets for the month). Also 400€ is not really much in Germany. Those 1/3 who doesn't request HartzIV save Germany more than 20 billions Euro per year..
HartzIV hat ersetzt zu werden! (HartzIV needs to be replaced!)
HartzIV führt nur zu prekärer Arbeit, Armut und Existenzamt. (HartzIV only leads to precarious positions in work, poverty and existential angst.)
Wir wissen alles über HartzIV-Empfänger, jedoch kaum etwas über die Superreichen! (We does know everything about people who get HartzIV, but we doesn't know much about people who are extremly rich!)

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
