Sam Impact On Society

Decent Essays
Someone like Sam impacted society in a good and a bad way. There could be many good things about what Sam is doing but almost for every good thing he does there is a bad side to it. For example if he is helping someone get into their dream college they could be taking the spot of someone who deserves it. He could affect his town economically because how could some high school kids get $2500? You could only imagine what kids are doing to get that kind of money. They could be stealing money or even selling illegal things. Also he could totally affect his town socially. I say this because like he said in the video everyone at his school knew who he is and what he does. So if there were anyone that got mad at him they could have just stabbed him
