The Menace Of Negative People Analysis

Tensions in The United States are high between different races, as cultural differences are splitting our country. Although, this was a problem that has been around since The United States was founded, it is becoming more apparent today. Violence between different races has risen, because one group thinks they are better than the other. Our current president, Donald Trump has also hinted at the idea that races such as Mexicans, and Muslims are not worthy of being in the United States. This leads me to believe that racism is the biggest problem facing our country today. This problem will most likely be around for centuries to come, but I believe it can be contained. Too confront this problem, I believe our country has to treat every individual …show more content…
In The Menace of Negative People, Barbara Ehrenreich states, “That negative people do suck. They suck the energy out of positive people like you and me. They suck the energy and life out of a good company” (Ehrenreich). I couldn’t imagine what the world would be like with no negative people, but what I could tell you is that, if you stay away from negative people you will stay positive throughout your days.

Many people stay away from a specific race because they believe the entire race is dangerous. As humanity, we can really make a difference if we wanted to but we don’t like to go out of our way to give a helping hand. To many people have the mentality that “if I don’t benefit from it then why do it.” I believe the only way we can stop racism is if we all come together as a whole and really stand against it. As society we would benefit from this, because we would stop hating one another, which would stop wars and the innocent killings that we are experiencing today. We are in a crisis and many people don’t even know it because they are just going on about their days, just making their money and living their lives to the fullest. There are little kids dying every day in other countries while we sit on our thrones in The United States of America. The beginning to end this problem is all the start from abolishing racism. We need to put this to a stop before it’s too late and the world goes more
