Living in the Shadows

The vulnerable populations are victims of an unfair and unjust society. I find it hard to believe that they are sinners who bring on their own health problems. The reason I say this is because if we were to drive out to the inner city of South Los Angeles and take a look around we would not fail to see that the options available to them are few compared to other neighborhoods. I am not just talking about food. I’m talking about schools, housing, parks, political clout and so forth. The way I see it is there are two groups. One group has what it needs to get by in life and contribute to society. While the other group regardless of how hard it might work day in and day out will only successfully land a few individuals into the other group. Those that never make it out will use the only resources available to them and thus self perpetuate the cycle living as a vulnerable population and continue to be victims of an unfair and unjust society pushing them further into the shadows.
