New Light in a Void of Hope

Disease, pollution, and disparity for some, happiness and hope for all. These are

 the characteristics Slums share globally as they are often poor, crowded, and polluted, though  they are

 the home for the rural immigrants. And even though Slum`s are places of starvation and disease, in

 reality they are places of new opportunities, brotherhood, and a relatively cheap living. But even in

 their disparity a new hope and a new light are enough to cause poor rural immigrants to travel to

 slums.

For many disparity is not a driving force, the idea of earning more money and gaining new

 opportunities is the driving force that allows people to live in slums. Meaning that ""People move not

 because they will to be better off, they move because they expect to be better off, and this expectation

 pushes people from where they are." Basically it is the thoughts and dreams and the expectation to be 

better off that drives many to move to, live in, and strive in Slums. Though an area of dreams is nothing

 without the support of your fellow man.

Often the prosperous futures many slum dewwelars acquire are founded with the brotherhood of

 the community. One man refused to let his community be destroyed as " He speaks of the pride of the

 community spirit and the tolerance between the slum`s many different religious groups." This man

 talks how if the slum is torn down, the sense of brotherhood the community has,would be torn down

 too. As Slums were built around people with the same goal, and if they were to beremoved all the

 people would see each others as strangers even enemies. And even though many of the slum residents

 are poor, often "poor" is all you need to live in a slum. 

Even cheap land and cheap supplies can add up to a cheap living based around legitimate work.

 Many along with this slum dewwelar share the view that "Slum life is cheap[..]With less then a dollar

 you can survive." Meaning that you can survive on what little you get and even if you earn a dollar

 anywhere else it is worthless, in a slum however you can base your life around that income.

In conclusion, Slums may vary in location but not in spirit. And while Slum`s are often places

 of starvation and disease, are in reality places of new opportunities, brotherhood, and a relatively

 cheap living. So Slums are not places of disparity but people who are trying to improve their lives

 from what they had before. So in reality while we worry on how to improve the world  and pity those

 who do not get the chance, compared to slum residents who really should be pitied.

I. Introduction

Disease, pollution, and disparity for some, happiness and hope for all. These are the characteristics Slums share globally as they are often poor, crowded, and polluted, though  they are the home for the rural immigrants. And even though Slum`s are places of starvation and disease, in reality they are places of new opportunities, brotherhood, and a relatively cheap living. But even in their disparity a new hope and a new light are enough to cause poor rural immigrants to travel to slums.

II. Defendable Point #1

For many disparity is not a driving force, the idea of earning more money and gaining new oppertunities is the driving force that allows people to live in slums. Meaning that ""People move not because they will to be better off, they move because they expect to be better off, and this expectation pushes people from where they are." Basically it is the thoughts and dreams and the expectation to be better off that drives many to move to, live in, and strive in Slums. Though an area of dreams is nothing without the support of your fellow man.

III. Defendable Point #2 

Often the prosperous futures many slum dewwelars acquire are founded with the brotherhood of the community. One man refused to let his community be destroyed as " He speaks of the pride of the pride of the community spirit and the tolerance between the slum`s many different religious groups." This man talks how if the slum is torn down, the sense of brotherhood the community has would be torn down too. As Slums were built around people with the same goal, and if they were to be removed all the people would see each others as strangers even enemies. And even though many of the slum residents are poor, often "poor" is all you need to live in a slum. 

IV. Defendable Point  # 3

Even cheap land and cheap supplies can add up to a cheap living based around legitimate work. Many along with this slum dewwelar share the view that "Slum life is cheap[..]With less then a dollar you can survive." Meaning that you can survive on what little you get and even if you earn a dollar anywhere else it is worthless, in a slum however you can base your life around that income.

V. Conclusion

In conclusion, Slums may vary in location but not in spirit.And while Slum`s are often places of starvation and disease, are in reality places of new opportunities, brotherhood, and a relatively cheap living.So Slums aren`t places of disparity but people who are trying to improve their lives from what they had before. So in reality while we worry on how to improve the world  and pity those who don`t get the chance, compared to slum residents who really should be pitied.
