crash into me

A couple of weeks ago, we watched the movie crash in class. This movie was basically about how different types of people rely so much on assumptions of other people and how these assumptions affect how we see people. It was really interesting to see how how race and class play a huge part in how people act around one another. this movie really opens your eyes and makes you wonder how our own assumptions and actions may affect the others surrounding us. Our actions may be subtle but still have such an impact. If you are able to get past the assumptions and see the person for who they are, the world wouldn't need to "crash" into one another to realize that we all are so different and no one is superior to the inferior.

class

this week in class we watched and talked alot about social class structure. Living in the upper middle calss you realize how much your truely take for granted. This was seen in the episode of 30 days. Morgan and Alex decided to live on minimum wage for a month and seeing the lifestyle they had to live wasn't nearly as bad as the people who are actually stuck in that class. Having to live pay check to paycheck and budget is extremely hard. It makes me realize how lucky I truely am. I wish there was more that we could do because these people can't afford medical insurance but when they need to go to the er for health issues they have to pay a bill that is so expensive that it might just be the amount of living they make that month. We need to make a change and not be so self-center about our desinger clothes and cars and houses..when people can barely afford any of that.
