This work emphasizes several topics of controversy by including essays which were considered either highly influential or highly encapsulating of the topics at hand. The readings on feminism and the societal structure surrounding women, I found illuminating. When the conversation turned to immigration, I was appalled at the horrors imposed on the innocent, obviously seeking refuge for their lives and that of their children. The historic detriment of African Americans that persists today is not only enough to induce depression, but is somehow rarely acknowledged by those in power as well as the average, middle-class dinner table. I was further baffled by the close connection that the inhabitants of New York’s richest neighborhood had with the state of downtrodden wasteland that is it’s poorest. The epidemic of homelessness and poverty afflicting the ghettos of New York allied with the seeming indifference to such tragedies of the policy makers therein, is nothing if not
