The Things We Choose Not To See The Things We Choose Not To See The topic of violence is a recurrent theme in the media today. We all see it on the nightly news where we find out about the latest homicide or act of violence among the people who live in the lower class areas of Philadelphia. However, as many of us are middle and upper class white Americans the news reports are just topics of discussion among friends at school and work the next day. We see these incidents as random acts of violence performed by the savage “street people” that either have been brought up the wrong way or who kill one another just for the sake of the act. It is easy for us to criticize the lives of these people when we sit in our nice home eating a good home cooked meal or walking down the street in suburbia. However, if you look deeper into the nature of these crimes you may gain a new insight into what motivates people to behave in this way. I am in no way condoning the act of violence towards anyone because it is my personal belief that there are just, out, way, people, walk, street, violence, life, things, one, much, act, you’re, situation, family, because, yourself, think, themselves, support, same, respect, pretty, position, news, money, job, however, home, good, everyone, there’s, survive, soon, school
