So confused...

Where did the system go wrong? If we are learning about poverty in our classes, and I’m sure other college students around the country are learning the same thing, so how did we get that information and why are we learning about it and not doing anything about it. Not we as in “I” individually because I don’t think that poverty can be solved by one person, but by as a society.

So when did we just pass the point where we did things and just learned why things are wrong? When its literally a topic in class, like an epidemic, and its not embarrassing as a country that we cant at least get this more under control. 

I think in the clip from that movie we watched when he said, “we waged wars on poverty, not poor people”, how did this happen? Like its just a topic to us, some might not ever thing about it after this class, but it still exists.  We exert so much energy learning about bad things, but not what can we do to help fix it. I hope my rambling makes sense, but there just has to be some sort of solution to make things better for those who are less fortunate. Our parent’s generation thinks that we are lazy and that’s so annoying, their parents were role models and taught them how to change things, but ours didn’t. I literally have no clue besides volunteering at shelters and donating food. Like we just compare our lives to theirs and feel bad but we generally don’t know what to do. In reading others blog posts, everyone is just mad and upset, but there is no solution and its just confusing to me. We go on with our lives after we give our opinions and how we feel but that’s all. So what are we supposed to do!
