On page 240, a man named David Onek talks about how there
is an “importance of stopping people from going to prison in the first place.”
Once someone has a record it is nearly impossible to find work. This then results
in people working for their money in different ways like selling drugs and doing illegal activities. If people work hard in the beginning it will pay off in the long run.
On page 277, it talks about the importance of
education. When living in poverty the school system will not be as advanced as
a location with higher property taxes. This is something that will be challenging to fix. However, It is important to get a good education
because employers like to see that it is possible to teach their new employers and that they will
work hard in that type of setting.
On page 317, it talks about how we should “strengthen ourselves…as
a community” This is something that I honestly believe in. When people living in a
community work together it is easy to see the difference in the way people respond to certain situations. Being a strong community will also help with less crime rate. I think this happens because people are less likely to want to steal from their friends and neighbors. I think being a strong and
reliable community can really improve poverty and crime rates.
