I arrived in Texas a few hours later. I was met at the airport by my mom's friend. While in Texas I found a job working at I Hop, which is a restaurant known for their pancakes. After a few months I had to quit my job because I was no longer welcome to stay in my mother's friend's home. I felt very uncomfortable being there any longer.
Struggling with Dementia: A Puzzle Being Torn Apart I remember just ten years ago right before my husband’s grandmother was diagnosed Alzheimer (a form of dementia). She lived on her own at this point; while we visited she would always bake us fresh cookies while we watched westerns with her about once a week. You could just walk in her apartment in enter a time capsule these were some of the happiest memories of my life. Then as the days passed and weeks turned into months she started to forget little things here and there. She started to get frightened more often even for her, that was hard because she was living alone at that point this made us very worried about her.
It is clear that the press was using the Dreyfus trial to their advantage by circulating false information to get support and profit from the rapid selling of newspapers.

It was author Emile Zola that wrote a letter to the president of the republic accusing him of knowledge of Dreyfus’ innocence it was this
Civil Rights Movement The civil rights movement of the 1956 initiated by Rosa Park, a middle age black woman, who had worked all day cleaning white people homes for a living. On a particular evening Rosa had worked all day and walked to the bus stop to catch the bus. Upon getting on the bus and sitting down and resting her tired feet, the white bus drive asked Rosa to get up and go to the back of the bus and let a white man sit down. Rosa had followed all of the Jim Crow laws that perceived blacks as second class citizens; but this day she decided to refuse since she was so tired physically and emotional to being treated different, that she refused to move. This refusal was against the law and a policeman came to arrest her (Pearson Education Inc. 2007).
I remember a story my mom told to me. One of the employees working at my family’s business was receiving food stamps before she had gotten the job. Because she had gotten a job, she was unqualified for food stamps, even though she really needed them. Her sister worked at the local grocery store as a cashier and dealt with people using food stamps all the time. One day, a man came through her
Ida exposed a powerful businessman's " corruption in business and political lawlessness", making her a "muckraker" as well ("People & Events: Ida Tarbell, 1857-1944" 1).

They reveal the truth of an injustice in society, helping to better improve society.

The first snows of winter had begun to fall in Aaqcheh, a small remote town north of Mazar-e-Sharif. A weak sun tries to break through a haze of fog as my father and I walked along a dusty road to the nearest bazaar for some breakfast supplies. I remember distinctly that bazaar being full of the impoverished of our town; begging for a piece of bread so they could feed their families for the day.

Inequalities in social services, poor health, education and nutritional status, weak social protection systems, among many other factors are contributing to continued levels of poverty in Afghanistan.
