To me, the biggest issue in America is poverty. People in poverty are constantly struggling just to live everyday. Sometimes they resort to doing stupid stuff to try and escape the cycle of poverty and they are labeled criminals when their intentions are good. They try to look out for each other and are constantly spit upon. Even as kids, they are usually growing up without parent or in one-parent homes, which causes serious psychological issues. Add to that, they can’t afford nice things and because of that, even getting hired for a good paying job can be almost impossible.
To stop poverty, we need to recognize our shared humanity. The U.S. is a pluralistic society, a society of different diversity and culture and we forget that we are not the only ones who need help. People from other countries need our partisanship as well. We need to educate ourselves before we take drastic measures on this matter. Our community needs to assemble a coalition to address the public agenda on poverty to the mass media. That way, more people would help donate or volunteer at a shelter of some sort.
If we do these little things, the world would find its way back on its feet. People in other countries would have a decent job, some kind of health care for their family, and food to last a whole week. When that happens, the economy would get better and we would be able to have decent imported items and not infected ones.
