I mostly agree with your worldview. It is true that our society today has turned into a place of injustice. The essay really made me think about all the things that I have, and whether or not I really need them. I really liked the comparisons of hungry people, and the $100 bottle of champagne; thousands of people dying from a curable disease, yet there are still doctors doing cosmetic surgery research.

There are some parts of the essay that I do not exactly agree with. It seems that it was mostly written about the two extremes, but what about those of us who lie in the middle? I do not live in a mansion or own a SUV or other big vehicle, and my family does not buy expensive champagne or have cosmetic surgery done. I know that even though we lie in the middle, it is partly our fault, but we do a lot of things to help the less fortunate as well. Although I agree with the fact that it is unfair we have so much, and people in other parts of the world are suffering, it really is not our fault that we were born in such a wonderful place with oppurtunities, while others were also born without choice in a place of suffering. Where we ended up was all by chance, and there is not exactly anything that we can do to change that, except helping others, which can make a big difference. Maybe the point that was trying to be made in this essay was not that it is the rich people’s fault, but that we should concentrate on the needs of others (less fortunate) than our own needs.
