Not much had changed. The places that were poor before stayed poor, while Antigua stayed wealthy. Poverty rates and crime rates were pretty much the same as before. This trip was different though. We were building a school. This trip gave me more hope than the last trip. It showed me that if you can get people to help you, then you will be much better off. This concept can be used to help the poor as well. As long as people are willing to disperse some of the wealth many Americans can be better off. For example Mantsios also explains in Class in America that inheritance laws give a great likelihood of success to offspring. I think that if we dispersed some of that inheritance money that the poor would have a much better chance to succeed
