Serving In Florida

The essay “Serving In Florida” by Barbara Ehrenreich describes what people is living today because there are many people in the United States and around the world who had been living the same issue that is to not have enough money to survive. There are many people who had to prefer to make their job as their first option, and school their second option, and the reason of that is because they need the money to survive and they prefer the job than education. But there is also another reason why people are working for a minimum wage and it is because they didn’t have the opportunity to go to school, and that was back the around the 1900s. However, nowadays there are many opportunities to study, and the government is the fist one because they are trying to help every person who wants to finish with a career by helping them with money. I think I’m going through something similar because I have learned how life is difficult as I go to school and I work to pay my bills, my rent, my food, my car, and everything that I use every day with a minimum wage.

On Dumpster Diving 

Reading “ On Dumpster Diving” by Lars Eighner put me in the position of not knowing where I am today because there is a lot of people who is suffering day by day, and I am in the glory. It’s really sad how people have died just because they don't have the money to survive every day, and is not their fault, sadly they have to live that life. I feel lucky to have the life that I am living because I am not suffering like those people, but I would not like to see more people suffering and dying for the reason of not having money. The only thing that the government has to improve is to give a little help to those people who don't have enough money to improve their lives. But I think by given to those people food and some money would help every person more. An opportunity to those people to change their lives I think can be by giving them the opportunity to have a job so they can have an initiative. There are many ways how people can change their lives, but the people are the responsible who decide how they want to end.

On Compassion

In the story “On Compassion” by Barbara Lazear Ascher, is about how people react about the homeless people. In the story she explain how the people treat to the homeless people, as they just try to not have any contact with them. My experience with homeless people had been very low, but every time that I have the opportunity to help them is the first thing that I do. The only thing that I keep thinking every time that I give money is for what they are going to use it, because I always give money but to benefit them, not to harm them. But the only thing is you never know what they really gonna do, but at least I don't feel bad for not helping them. And what I have done many time is help the same person that I most see every day because he is asking money to help his mother that she has cancer, and I have see her so I trust on what he is going to use all the money I gave to him.
