Class Argument

I really don’t have any opinion on what happened in class today. I really don’t care at all because it’s just a typical thing that happens in our classes every day. Our grade always yells and screams and curses at each other. It never really gets anywhere. I really don’t even see the point of reflecting on it.

As for the man killed during black Friday, I feel as if the man being killed shows how Americans don’t really care about each other. They put their own happiness and their own needs before anyone else’s and then when asked what they cherish most, they put up an act and say that their family is most important. This brings me to another idea which is that Americans are very dependent on image. They say family is very important to them only so that they can look loving and caring when in actuality only a hand full of those Americans will really truly mean what they say. This man was killed because people felt the need to fulfill their own materialistic needs. That and the fact that he was trying to do his job when the boss told him to stand in front of the glass doors with the angry mob on the other side.
