Chris - Internet - Poverty.

As I surf the net, i found an article, http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/20/beck.cities/index.html. This article is about how cities like detroit, michigan, and buffalo, New York has about at least a third of people who are in poverty. However, these countries, which have many people in poverty, their governments or the politicians, are not helping them get out of poverty. As their duty, they should be making sure that everyone is being safe and have at least a shelter to live in. I can not disagree with this article because I am from michigan, and i lived very close to detroit. I've seen many people sleep on the streets, get in fights, or steal and get arrested. This is because the government or the politician is not doing a good job.

By the writer's tone, I can see that the writer is strongly against the person in charge. (We've talked a lot about "change" in this country recently, but there's a much more important catchphrase that we've neglected: "All politics is local." Maybe instead of focusing so much on who we put in charge of our country, we should focus more on who we put in charge of our cities) I think the writer is not biased and I think he has a background or an experience from the past that really motivated him to write this article and try to take action. By writing this article, many people can watch this mass media and be affected by it and change their thoughts or opinions. I thought that this was more of a persuasive article to convince the citizens to make a right choice in picking their government, or a message to the government or the politician to do what is right and help to people who are in poverty. When I saw this, I was also convinced because, like i said, there shouldn't be people in poverty and we should help out; this is what the government or the politicians should do as a representative.
