Egg drop

So today we did an egg drop exercise and they made us connect it to real life issues. Of whether or not it is about ability vs. acessibility 

Honestly its a little bit of both but I do think it should be more about accessibility , I know that certain neighborhoods communities and other cities do better than others and some don't need it. But i rather we have access to all the things we need thank have ti fight of figure ways to do it. Its not our fault that we weren't born into wealth and all the knowledge in the world. There are all types of reason why people can't get medicaid, healthcare, good paying jobs, transportation and so on. But we shouldn't always HAVE to struggle just because we get the short end of the stick. I think the institute needs a lot of changing, we need to rethink about to make certain programs accessible for others, and a decent living wage for everyone. Ways to help people get out of trouble. It was like what we were talking about wage, the minimum wage is not enough not even to have your own apartment, thats not possible. I know people who have to work 2 or 3 jobs because they need to pay for rent, car insurance, utilities, transportation.Whether you have kids or not the minimum wage is just not enough to get by. so yea i understand when we say then lets go get a better job and some do, but if they can't because they don't have a GED or for whatever reason. Why can't we just raise minimum wage?? or as dr. Bogad say get surgery instead of just putting band-aids on it?

Here is a Video on something i watched years ago about raising the minimum wage. I think about how we talk about sometimes taking that leap of faith, and isn't that what rosa parks did? isn't that what Angelina Grimke, Sarah Moore Grimke, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucretia Mott did when they fought for women's rights? There are many more examples out there where people just took a leap of faith and fought for what was needed to happen. I know its hard to talk about because today that would mean not going to work for a day to stand for a strike and that scares people cuz of the paycheck situation or getting fired but then how will ever to make change? This is just a thought of mine I'm not perfect either it just makes me think, we just can't keep getting band aids and i feel like over the years more and more people get comfortable easily with the idea of just having a band aid. But if we don't start talking about it now or trying to make a difference about it, then were just going to stay in the same situation that were in.
