If a single rich man cannot spend a few dollars to feed one hungry child, yet no knows about this, then why is he still treated with respect and perceived as charitable and intellectual? In high school, if a student gets a new, very expensive, car, they are suddenly "popular". If a family moves into the largest house in the neighborhood, are they not considered important? If America is spending so much time on how advanced or how extravagant a possession, then what matters are we closing our eyes to?.
In the year 1999, two boys attacked their school "armed to the teeth". Many teens survived this tragic episode but some did not. Why? People replied that it was because they were outcasts. Earlier, that same year, a worried friend told Brooks Brown a friend of the two boys, about one's website. Brook checked it out and it was filled with threats, including one against the boy. Eric told his parents, who reported it to the police who just called the boys" house with no feedback from the other line. So the case was dropped because the Browns wanted remain anonymous. Brook was freaked out about this but just chalked it up to big words and let it go. Then just days after, the tragedy occurred. It is likely that the parents were too busy to pay attention to the boys that they were able to steal their weaponry from the house and get it into school. If the parents had paid more attention to the phone calls and visitors of other teenagers and their parents, then it is likely this could have been prevented. .
America is one of the most affluent countries, so they must have the highest guarded country, right? Well after September eleventh's tragedy, we might think differently. While America was so worried about what concerts and movies are coming out, Osam Bin Laden was planning his revenge. His expertise and leadership skills were helping him plan the largest terroristic act recorded. After his first attempt to crash the world trade centers, he made a threat against the United States, and we did not respond to it.
