Dark Days

The video really opened my eyes to the harsh realities that exist in this country. The life styles of the people in this video surprised me as well as affected me emotionally. Seeing the way these homeless people were living and the radical things they were doing to survive shocked me. The fact of the matter is that in a country run by capitalism there are always going to be three main types of classes by which people are classified, which are: upper, middle and lower class. I am aware that many people in this country are homeless, and I have even been a part of many community service projects, run by my church, that have helped to provide clothes and shelter for homelss people. I had no idea that there were people that actually were creating their own society underground in a tunnel. These people, in an attempt to survive and avoid the troubles of paying for taxes and dealing with the society, began to build homes underground! I was startled as well astonished. I felt very bad for these people and was overwhelmed with joy that the government helped this people move into apartments and gave them a chance to start a new life.

Although these things are sad to see, the fact still remains that the only one to blame if you are in this type of situation is yourself. Most of the people in this video where victims of drug abuse. I believe that this country gives people that opportunity to succeed and amount to what ever you want to be. This is evident in the video when these people where given homes with running water and electricity, as well as the chance to start over and begin to work. I believe that they found themselves in that situation because they simply just gave up and stopped trying. This country gives people countless opportunities and chances and I feel that in this country, not to sound cliche or anything, but where there is a will there is a way.
