Today

Earlier today, a friend and I briefly talked about how in today's society there is a distinct difference in the class system. If you take a good look around you, you will see either how easy or difficult kids have it these days. Take a drive to out skirts of Columbus. What you will see is house after house with there doors and windows boarded up. On the boards there is graffiti everywhere from gang members representing themselves. If you take a closer look at the houses you will see them run down, junk all over the place, and perhaps a broken window in more than one spot. Now imagine how the kids feel. They could be embarrassed to tell people where they are growing up or how they are scared night after night for there family's safety. Then if you go to Gahanna, New Albany, or even Upper Arlington, it will be a totally different look. Family's have a house that looks nicely up kept weekly, maybe more than 2 cars, and kids who have nice clothes to wear everyday. Everyday they don't have to worry about there safety or even a care in the world. This is because, we get everything we want. It's really not fair. How one part of society can be fighting for there lives and 4 miles away another part could be eating a dinner where they have more food than they can eat.

  1. I know what you mean. I guess , as a society, we need to take ownership of all situations and help those who need it most.
