Groups In The Real Slumdogs
b. Group/ pg. 100: People who interact with one another and who believe that what they have in common is significant; also called a social group.
The way the definition group is portrayed in The Real Slumdogs to me is the groups that work together to rag pick. They are groups of men and women that come together in the slum and go to the dumps to sort through trash and waste. All of the trash, they sort through everything, saying it all has a purpose. Especially all of the plastic. They break it down, clean it and ship it to the sellers to use. Just in the slum of Dharavi there is one million people to one square mile.

Most people think they are uneducated, unemployed, and dumb. This is very untrue. The slums were very organized, and they consisted of places of worship, schools, and businesses. They all worked very hard every day to pick through trash just to recycle a lot of it for bigger businesses. Most of the children in the slum were also educated and going to school or being home schooled. The parents would work extra hard to make a better life for their children so they could not be a stereotype. In the film Laxmi’s daughter Sheetal received an education with the help of her mother. Even though we stereotype more than eighty percent of the slums people were employed. They might have not had the best jobs in the world, like sorting through the trash as a rag picker, but they worked very hard at it and were proud. It shows to me you don’t have to be the stereotypical rich person to be happy. In all different cultures in the world they don’t have it as good as us Americans yet they are still happy and grateful. The people of Dharavi certainly earn a living for their families. It shows how important it is not to judge people with your first impressions. They do set the tone for the interaction but like they say you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. The way you act when you first meet someone o assume how they are will influence the way you act toward the person and the way they act towards you.
