The Poor Are The Richest

"The poor may have the smallest pockets, but they surely have the biggest hearts".

Rich people are the selfish people that only care about their wealth and about their

reputation, they are greedy and only care about making money. Furthermore, they are

consumed with the idea of degregating the poor so they can achieve success, even if it

means destroying others lives. On the other hand, the poor are those who battle to survive

among the rich and live their lives to help others. They are open minded and always

wanting to give more than what they have. moral character of the rich and the poor and

thus they don't help each other mutually in obstacles they each have to face.

Poor people are filled with hope and the desire to help others that are in need of

help. They are consumed with goodness and are always seeking to help out theiw on class.

The Mexican revolution is very good example of how, when in tough times, poor families

and friends stick together and help each other out. The people were searching for work,

money, and happiness, but were faced with many hardships along the way. Those who

were able to make it to their destination were not met with the fulfi but with the feeling of

being unwanted. On the other hand the poor welcomed each other and tried their best to

assist those in need of help.

Being rich causes individuals to abandon their values and be blinded by the fact

that there are others in this world who are not so wealthy as you and who are in need of

help. Eventually people reach a point in which they believe that money should be obtained

regardless of the cost. An example of this is demonstrated in the Grapes of Wrath

hundreds of immigrants travel to California and are faced with a society that is not looking

to help but to take away. The rich landowners are the ones who own the land, they are

greedy and only care about the

    This was the life for many people during the great depression when war had consumed most of all humanity and left the survivors to start over again from scratch. People were left without the basic means of survival, disease and illness took many lives because health care was unaffordable, and even education for children was considered a privilege for only the richer children. Many of the richer people were selfish and locked their doors up tight and employed very few workers at demeaning wages as to fatten their pockets and not have to pay out too much for labor costs. Handouts were almost unheard of among the communities because there was simply…

    After reading “As a Weapon in The Hands of The Restless Poor” one can feel motivated to help those in need. Earl Shorris appeals to emotion when he talks about creating a program to start to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate. He starts out the story to say he is writing a book which makes him an author which is an example of ethos because he seems reliable. Shorris then states that the poor have been “Cheated” which is substantially true because the rich were given the opportunity to succeed more as someone who is poor and cannot even afford to feed themselves. In order to help the less fortunate out he has to create a program to help the poor succeed. After a Rhetorical analysis of “As a Weapon in The Hands of The Restless Poor” by Earl Shorris one can conclude that most people take for granted even the little things in life, if one were to open their eyes and see there are many people who do not have a dollar to their name, and we have so much that we tend to lose focus on helping the less fortunate succeed in the world we live in today.…

    While I am not saying that giving to the less fortunate is wrong or those who are at disadvantages because of uncontrollable circumstances should not be given an opportunity to help themselves, I am stating my beliefs that the so-called “Great Society” has not been effective in the reduction of poverty and in many cases may actually be contributing to the continuance of people living in poverty.…

    Many townspeople felt that it was their responsibility as a citizen to care for the poor in their town. For example, a town council in France felt responsible for the “poor begging creatures” and “poor children” in the town, and they respond by renting out a barn at the city’s cost to house and care for the poor. (Doc 2) This shows how the towns felt that it was their duty to care for their poor. Also, Juan Luis Vives, a humanist, felt that the poor, in their deprived situations of begging, stealing, and wandering, are driven to that by necessity of self care. He feels that there is a duty to help the poor, however many people do not act on that duty because they are overwhelmed by the immense number, they uncertain where to put their money, or they just don’t perform the duties commanded of them. (Doc 3) This shows the feeling of responsibility to help the poor that the people had, and also the responses they had to this feeling. Another account of a town council’s meeting says that those poor who are simply unable to find work are deserving of assistance from the city, but those who are idle are…

    I Love Being Poor

    So let’s begin with the simplest question first. What is the difference between the rich, the middle class, and the poor? The vague answer would simply be the amount of money they own or make. In all honesty the obvious explanation is the work ethic and the experience. For example poor people most likely won’t have the opportunity to do things that people with more money will be able to do. Therefore they won’t have enough/the same experience. In result they won’t qualify for high paying jobs. As far as their work ethic some poor people have very good work ethic and others don’t. For the simple fact that some poor people don’t like how they live and are determined to “get out of the hood.” While other poor people just accept that being poor is their life.…
