Would Christmas be the same if gifts were not involved? A lot of times, we get so caught up in receiving material things that we don't pay attention to the real meanings of the occasion. We live in a "me" society, where the only thing that people think about is themselves. At Christmas time, I often hear people say, "I'm not going to buy him/her anything unless they buy me something first." This leads me to mention the homelessness and poverty in America. The destitute rate is increasing tremendously each year. I honestly believe that if we work together, we could get the homeless people off the streets.
America is in such a horrible recession that we all should be looking out for one another. People are loosing jobs left and right, work hours are being cut, and many people are being laid off. It seems as though, ever since these things have been occurring, America has become worse. People are killing each other over the dumbest things. I mean, a man got shot walking out of his own house. How crazy is that! I believe that President Obama is going to make a change, but I know that it's going to take some time because America is in a major crisis. Every night I pray that there will be a day when I could look in the newspaper and not see any killings, robberies, or violent crime acts. Every morning, it is the same thing-"a man shot...a woman killed her children...an eighteen year old boy was found dead..." After a while, you get tired of reading about things like these. I ask myself the same question everyday, "What is America Really Coming To?"
