The pain the father must have been in trying to fight for his food and then getting it taken from him and having to feel hunger and sick. An image of sadness came to me because the father couldn’t do anything for himself. He was to weak to even try to fight them. The father imagining his old life back. Were he did not have to fight for his food he had the food he wanted, whenever he wanted.
Although the conditions of the agreement seemed extremely severe, the allied countries had no sympathy for the Germans. They were forced to pay excessive amounts of money as reparation fees to make up for all the damage and destruction that was caused during the war. 13% of German territory was given away and many important industrial areas were controlled by western allies. This caused a major impact on the economy and had many affects to not only the government, but German citizens as well. Many people became unemployed and were no longer able to support their families.
As Randall only has the problem of his house, Richard has the problem of not eating food and is desperate for it that he even eats paste from school. Not only that but he also doesn’t have a
Also the environmental damage with oil spills, chemical weapons and nuclear radiation damage. Otherwise there are a lot of other sacrifices in war. Many brave soldiers with a family and friends at home get killed and leave a lot of people in a big sorrow. It can take years or perhaps a lifetime to move on when you looses someone you love. And for those who have survived a war will maybe never get over what they have seen and experienced of terrible things in the war.
If it’s a bad eating place, why do so many people in poverty eat there? Because the food is unimaginably cheap. The soup kitchen isn’t just a place where people come to get their food. It’s a place where danger lurks around every corner. Brutal fights break out quite often over the constant struggle of hunger.
The Great Depression of 1930 took on many different faces. To many Americans, it proved to be an intense time of uncertainty, which reeked emotional and physical havoc in many lives. The unbearable circumstances these families faced were like none other in our nation’s history. Desperation, fear and, even death, became an ever present trouble in many American lives. Millions of people lost their jobs during these tragic times, and left their homes in pursuit of securing work, but most fell short.
Shell shock was a term only associated with World War one due to the major impact it had throughout the war. It was specifically used in Britain to express a psychological breakdown for a soldier from stress and trauma and fear from battles and fighting. It was hard to cure them as people and doctors considered them to be cowards therefore refused to offer help. Some men only received help depending on their high class or rank in the community, while others were even put on trial and even executed for being ‘cowards’. Shell shock caused a lot of problems and casualties for the country and for the war.
Their stress under the unbearable conditions in Iraq damages the mental health of the American troops. In an article on war trauma Greg Mitchell says, “Nearly one in five soldiers deployed in Iraq, now more than 300,000, suffer post traumatic stress disorder, according to the of-cited RAND Corp. study.” Troops that are mentally unstable or mentally ill from the conditions of war should not be forced to continue to fight in an environment that will only make them sicker. Unfortunately, they continue to experience the same situation that made them unstable. They become an unhinged fighting force happy to kill. This cycle creates more killers and more
Nicholas Bloom, Author of Public Housing that Worked, acknowledges the skepticism of most Americans in saying,“Across the country public housing projects are being demolished at a record pace largely because most Americans believe that public housing has no chance of succeeding.” So why is public housing failing? And what will be done before thousands more Americans are left homeless. Public housing has created reliance on the government, unsafe living conditions, and large concentrations of poverty. Everyday events and common occurrences inside public housing would shock many, due to the high volume of violence. Also shocking is the high prevalence of health issues.
Assaults, ransoms, kidnappings, drug trafficking, and organized crime in general are some of the most common in the country. Every day people face the risk that a loved one might become a victim of these terrible crimes. The people simply do not feel safe in their own country anymore, resulting in them deciding to leave it for a fresh start. Extreme poverty adds to the list of reasons why people immigrate to the United States. Poverty in Mexico has also increased in recent years.
