Lifting Out Of Poverty Video Analysis

I also enjoyed how his speech talked about how we cannot advance as a society if we do not get along. It made me realize that yes, my views are different then most conservatives however, we all need to find a way to get along or nothing positive is going to come. It was interesting to learn that the only way to get the next group

    When the video talked about how children were sent away to boarding school because their parents did not know how to handle them or communicate with them, it broke my heart. These children did not have regular communication with their families so they seemed to rely on the other children for love and support.

Many of the people interviewed said that their deafness was treated as a handicap that…

As it was proved the police officers behaved better when they knew they were being filmed at all times and so did citizens. If we could implement this idea into every city and let it be known, then I know for a fact that police brutality rates will decrease…
