This weeks question mind boggled me. It is a tough one to understand and answer. With that I will do my best. I believe the question is how the government helps families in a sense, but I also believe our government is helping the worng people and leaving the true needing families left short of even being fed. "equity" is hard to level with everyone. Things like taxes, loans (personal and student), and minimum wages all play a role in "equity." These topics plus more are the issues not allowing the less fortunate to get by. I have a feeling in the upcoming years, if this is continued, protests will be growing to fight for what is right and for what is right the government should do. Or at least you would think! I believe the government knows this is an issue and is not yet knowing what to do with it. I know for a fact the the state of Minnesota deports their homeless in an attempt to keept their streets cleaner. They send them to denver. I worked at jesus saves and talked to many homeless people, when i was nursing and administering free flu vaccines to them. A majority told me the exact same thing, That they were put on a greyhound and sent to Denver. How can we do this to people who are struggling. Is it cause society in that area can't put in a helping hand and build a homeless shelter big enough to fulfill the homeless in their area. It's pretty un American.
Peer Review:
ReplyDeleteThe writer up for peer review this time around will be Mike. I came across his blog and found it head turning so lets start with that. As an overview Mike nails down the question of Week 12 as he sees fit. Firstly he defines the role that equity plays into welfare such being taxes and loans. Then there are some details made on how the homeless are deported into Denver and a revolutionary tone to his argument.
I relate to Mike’s argument because I agree with the majority of his outlook. The character kept in the blog is well met and personable. I especially like the point made based on the experience mike had with working at Jesus Saves. It shows more authenticity behind the views he presents on homeless issues in Denver. The questions made are very expressive and too the point as well. My favorite is the “how can we do this to people who are struggling?” It makes a good point and brings in that factor that its not “them” but “us” and we should not put our heads out just because we ourselves did not do it.
In areas of improvement there are little as I see. I always touch on the subject of bringing more examples such as quotes to the blog to make it stronger. You can never have enough of that. I saw the comment Mike made about having a picture up about two comics but could not pull it up however I wish I could because that was one eye drawing part that I wanted to see. There are some parts though that can be looked into further such as why won’t the government fix this never ending problem. Why do they continue to say they will fix it by forming committees and then forgetting about them?
Overall I found the blog to be inspirational and exceptionally personable. The only thing I would watch on is more examples. I enjoyed reading it though and will keep tabs on this blog to see future aspirations.
