Since Shorris realizes that the rich have this unfair advantage over the poor, he decides to create a course designed for those that could not learn these humanities in private schools and expensive universities like the rich could.
Another place is to go to local stores, these are good as they are usually closer than supermarkets and a lot smaller and less busy, this can be nice as you can relax as you shop, one problem could be though that they do not contain as much as supermarkets and almost never have a chemist in them which may be a requirement for some people. Another way is to do your shopping online, a great thing about this is that you can find absolutely anything you could ever need online and you don’t even have to leave your own home, so if you have low mobility this could be a very good option, one downside however is that you do require a credit/debit card and a lot of service users do not have these for safety

Changes don’t happen overnight, or with a snap of the finger.

Griffin 1 Griffin Sabrina Mrs. Joni Jameson AP Language Arts 1st period 18 September 2013 Class Wealthy class Americans tend to overlook the lower class. Barbara Ehrenreich in her book, Evaluation, addresses the observation of how the lower class are invisible to their economic superiors. The rich are seen by the poor quite easily, but it is very difficult for the rich to see who makes up the lower class.

Yassmeen Youssef Ms.Abayhan Writing 7 M 20 March 2013 Dear Editor: America was created to represent a country that gives everyone a second chance, a chance that exiles from other countries take advantage of. The poor, tired, and homeless come to America in hopes of having a better life. Some come to America illegally by crossing treacherous borders, while others chose to apply for legalization by waiting their turn. I believe that we should open the borders to America.
