A World We Dare to Imagine (Post #3)

Sharing Is Caring Sharing Is Caring is an organization that seeks to help children living in poverty get the same benefits as the average child. The mission for our organization is to support impoverished children in our communities by allowing children to donate to other children.   There are many organizations that specialize in charities for children, however our organization focuses on educating families and helping them donate to children in an easy way through a process facilitated through our organization. Children are the future of our country, and a big part of who they become as an adult starts with their development in their childhood. In America, today, one in five children are living in poverty. Studies have shown that children who live in poverty are more likely to be criminals and are more likely to suffer from severe health problems. I am passionate about the work that my organization will do because we understand how important childhood development is...

A WORLD WE DARE TO IMAGINE (Post #1)

After reading the excerpt and the book The Blue Sweather, it has opened my eyes to the rest of the world and challenged me to think of ways to make the world a better place. Many people say that the “American Dream” is a lie because people do not have the same opportunities. I believe this to be false claim, and I think there are other reasons to why some people find themselves as an adult not being able to be successful.   I believe that our society should start investing more money on the children especially at a young age. The “American Dream” is one hundred percent real in the United States.   Whenever I think about this statement I always think about my father, and his path to success. My father came to the United States as an Immigrant with no family, no friends, and no money. Today, he is extremely successful because of the opportunities America has given to him. He will no doubt admit it was easy, but my father came from a good family who educated him well and he ...

Extra Credit Random Post

For this random post I will be talking more about politics once again. Speaking about politics I wanted to bring about the controversial issue about whether or not Roy Moore should continue to run for senate based off recent allegations against him. Allegations were brought onto Moore 4 weeks before the elections, accusing him of sexually abusing a 14 year old girl four decades ago when he was 32 years old. There have been many different sources that have claimed this, however Moore has denied these accusations. In my own opinion, the claims made about Moore are convincing that he is guilty especially since so many sources have been claiming this. I also had the chance to listen to Moore's interview with Sean Hannity and I do not believe Moore was able defend himself well against these claims since he basically admitted to dating 17 year old girls when he was 32. On the other hand, I am somewhat baffled because this evidence has been brought out right before his election which make...

Born on Third Base (Part 2)

Even though I did not connect much with the author’s views, I still enjoyed most of the content that this book had. What was most valuable to me after reading this book was the different experiences and point of views that Chuck Collins had mentioned throughout the book. Although, I do not agree much about how Collins interprets the upper class and everyone else I still believe he did make some valid points that I certainly thought about. Collin’s purpose of the book was mainly to call for social change between the rich and the poor and end the “war” that goes on between the two. I do agree with him that the views the rich have on the poor and vice versa is damaging and there could be some possible ways to achieve trust.              Furthermore, I do feel like this book is more powerful because it is written by an author who was part of the 1%. I feel like if the author was never born from a wealthy family, his thoughts and state...
