This is a interesting essay. I can't say I understood all of it because there were some parts that I did not get. Jose makes some valid arguements in this essay. "This suffering and misery is not a sad twist of fate, not the result of unfortunate circumstances - it is caused. Oppression and exploitation have caused hunger, suffering and death in the world." I think this is very true. I think that if many people did cause the world to go hungry and suffer, that people should now help and make the world a better place for everybody. Paragraph five is a very moving paragraph to me. I agree that any workers have been exploited to make products cheaper. I do not understand how their, "sweat, their blood, and their life which have produced the symbols of selfishness that are mansions and Hummers." I think what Jose is trying to say is that many people who take advantage of the labor of millions are usually very rich and so do not care about the millions of people that they have ripped off.

Why is our present society in the wrong? I have to agree with Jose that it is the wrong, but why? We have had so many acheivements in this century. Lots of new and improved items have some out our society. Why is it that our society is in the wrong when so many things gave some out right. Many people think it is in the wrong because of all the people who do not have anything to eat when they get home form tedious and hard work. I think Jose is right that to build a world that works we need to give to each person whatever they NEED not want and pay according to their labor. Lots of people do not trust people as Jose stated, I do not believe that i will ever get to the poiont where we thin that it is ok to kill. I do believe that rasicm will get worse and worse and that we will not trust people of a certain race. I think that Jose makes a valid point that the world is getting worse and worse.
