Some people are just born into a neverending negative cycle and there's no way out. suky1 https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264857730 2018-05-31 17:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264857730 People in really harsh, tragic living conditions were dealt a really horrible hand of cards in life. The system is pretty much like a lottery suky1 https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264857951 2018-05-31 17:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264857951 There are strong forces of injustice and oppression always at play, and we all participate whether we know it or not. We've created this system and need to fix it. suky1 https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264858311 2018-05-31 18:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264858311 "Brilliant minds are out there, and if people could just utilize the small talents they were given, they could make something out of their life. Instead of throwing money at problems, we should find ways to motivate all people." suky1 https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264858713 2018-05-31 18:02:07 UTC https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264858713 "I am no longer reading the news or caring because there's nothing I can do. I hear the urgency to redeem society, but I can really only be responsible for my own individual actions." suky1 https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264858837 2018-05-31 18:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264858837 "Everyone should at least be grateful for what they have. Nobody is entitled to anything, because other people have it a lot worse. When you are grateful, you can try to change something when the opportunity arises." suky1 https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264859041 2018-05-31 18:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264859041 "I don't like saying 'give back' because it's one-sided. If you 'give back' to the community, that means you're not actually *in* the community, which means you waste the opportunity to know people and talk to them and be around them." suky1 https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264859203 2018-05-31 18:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264859203 Rich people should invest in things like libraries and museums, so that people who do have the motivation can access free resources to improve their lives. suky1 https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264860139 2018-05-31 18:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264860139 The best anyone can do is to live morally as an individual, and to dissociate from oppressive people or businesses. suky1 https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264860303 2018-05-31 18:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264860303 Philanthropy and giving to charity makes a big difference in the lives of less fortunate people. suky1 https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264860333 2018-05-31 18:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264860333 Working together and listening to people different from ourselves is the key to a world in which all people can live good, meaningful lives. suky1 https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264860517 2018-05-31 18:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/suky1/v1xp43ewo4ks/wish/264860517
