Like in the play, people today judge others based on their social status and looks. The play provides a representation of of how people with less power have little say in society and how it effects these people. The book takes place in a time where oppression was not viewed negatively and privileged people took no pity for the oppressed. We use the book today as a way to teach us what used to be and why it is now wrong. Yet in today's progressive world people still hold old views and prefer to judge people by colour or class. Today's media brings out the truth of today's society and how it favours people of higher class and how these people still refuse to recognize the divide between people.]]> 2019-05-14 16:15:48 UTC https://padlet.com/max_henricks1078/d3w87kjpl6jo/wish/359984025 Another Day in Paradise- Phil Collins max_henricks1078 https://padlet.com/max_henricks1078/d3w87kjpl6jo/wish/360434244 This song by Phil Collins is a song about homeless people and their struggles with society.  The lyrics of the song include lines like 'Sir, can you help me?
 It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep, Is there somewhere you can tell me?'
 He walks on, doesn't look back , He pretends he can't hear her". This is typical of how most homeless people are looked at in society - as if they don't exist.  Most times in cities we see people lying on sheets of cardboard out on the streets with cups in hand and we walk right past them on our way to shopping, sports events, and restaurants and hotels. We don't see them really as people but just things on the street in a city- almost like a street post or garbage can. The homeless can't go to those sports events or restaurants but they are out on the street beside them and very divided from the rest of us enjoying those priveleges.]]> 2019-05-15 16:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/max_henricks1078/d3w87kjpl6jo/wish/360434244 White Boy Privilege- Royce max_henricks1078 https://padlet.com/max_henricks1078/d3w87kjpl6jo/wish/360867477 This rap poem by a teenage white boy that is referring to how black men are treated by police officers. This poem is written by a young white man who realized the advantages of white male privilege.  The poem has lines that say "All lives matter, but ... One: So do black lives. Why do two phrases that should work side by side seem to only divide? Two: That's all anyone's saying: Black lives matter, too."
The poem then talks about a black man arrested and killed by police in New York. "Eleven: That's how many times -- 'I can't breathe, I can't breathe, I can't breathe, I can't breathe, I can't breathe, I can't breathe, I can't breathe, I can't breathe, I can't breathe, I can't breathe, I can't breathe' -- Eric Garner said, 'I can't breathe' before he was killed by police. So I guess those three words only mean stop if you're white." This poem is talking about a case where a gentle black man who worked for the parks department of the government was choked and killed by white police officers and then that sparked protests and international media attention to the problem of white privilege.

Yeah, they're living the good life Can't see what he is going through
They're driving fast cars But they don't know where they're going
In the fast lane, living life without knowing And he says I wish that I could be like the cool kids Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit I wish that I could be like the cool kids Like the cool kids..." This is also how we judge people by the cool cars they drive or the clothes they wear, something you have to have privilege and money to own, rather than judge people by if they are kind and generous and polite actual real qualities we should appreciate in people. Clothes, cars, fancy homes and money divide people into social classes. Media influences society with this by showing tv shows that promote this even more to people with shows like Kardashians which only are based on looks and money.
