In today’s society 35.9 million people live below the poverty line and America, as a whole does not do anything about it. Though there are many organizations that help the homeless and needy the rich instead of getting involved just throw money and go about their day. The rich do not take the poor’s pride into account and thus further dividing the line between rich and poor. I believe we have the capacity as a Nation to change but the will to change is not present. I wanted to show the divide of rich and poor by having a picture of a man holding money and smiling, and a video of how much money the richest people are worth. I also used a cartoon to emphasize how big business run society and are of a small percentage of society. I really wanted to show how the rich affect the poor and i thought, what better way to do it by using children. I used poor children to capture the true essence of poverty because everyone can relate to when they were younger and how they had a good childhood.
