For my first post, I want to start off simple. I want to address my topic by visually showing you what poverty is like today in the world, so that when I start posting articles you will be able to fully understand the point I am trying to get across. As I keep posting I will go deeper and deeper into my topic, but I'd thought I'd start off easy. If you have read to this point in the paragraph and haven't watched the video above WATCH IT NOW, until you read on further. 
This video just astonishes me. Look how the people who need the help and need  guidance (the homeless) are being turned away by people just based on there appearance. I mean seriously, this people don't even know this man, but just because he looks home less people look at him as if he has a gun to their face. WHERE IS THE SYMPATHY? AREN'T THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING THE ONES WE SHOULD FEEL BAD FOR?! The people struggling with poverty should be the people who get the help or get the attention so that they can turn their life around and make it better. I mean really, why do people look at poverty and walk away from it, when they should be trying to do something about it? 
The craziest part of the video is when the guy puts on the nice jacket. When the home less man puts on the nice jacket, he doesn't seem to be  home less, and that is when people care to talk to him. Since the homeless man is not selfish he helps the other home less woman he sees  because he knows better. He realizes that she is the one who needs the help and is cold so he gives up something for her.... and that is coming from a guy who has NOTHING. But most of us have SOMETHING.... actually we have A LOT of things... and we are the ones who won't even say one word to a home less person. 
So not only are people that are poor are struggling, but on top of that, they are being judged by everyone around them. IS THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ARE IN SUCH POVERTY NOW A DAYS  IS BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE ARE CARELESS? The reason why poverty is increasing more and more is because WE aren't doing something about it. SO WHAT DO WE DO? .....think about it....
