Slumming

I thought this article was quite intriguing fascinating and angered me all at the same time. I started to feel myself getting a little angry. Just the fact that rich people would even want to know what its like to live like the poor is the stupidest thing that I have ever heard before in my entire life. I think that they should be ashamed of themselves. It was almost as if they were mocking the poor. If they think they could hold these little special charities and parties on the weekends because they think that they are doing someone a favor, then they are sadly mistaken. Even some of the parties that they hosted were absolutely ridiculous to me. A silent auction for irritable bowl syndrome, that sounds stupid for someone to even think of.

I don't really believe in stereotypes unless I have seen them for myself, but I know that a lot of people say that the rich are nothing but a bunch of materialistic people who blow thousands of dollars on things that normal people can't afford just cause. But then there are a lot of them who take their lives and helping people very seriously. This story kind of paints the rich in a very negative way. I think that they felt like they were doing people a favor, like they were actually helping someone. Although this seems to be a fictional article which I am glad it is, it did affect me in a way. Maybe to not believe that people like this actually exist in this world. But I do believe that there are people out here like this.
