Hunger Banquet: The Inequality Of The Lower Class

Yesterday's “Hunger Banquet” was a very useful experience. I was selected into the “lower class” group. My group sat on the floor and ate cold, hard rice. This experience taught me about the inequality of our world. I now know that there are more people suffering in poverty than people who are able to provide for their family. Learning this fact was shocking. I only live in the world where every night I have a hot meal waiting for me and yesterday I learned that is not the case for everyone. At the end of the event Mr. Lay asked us some questions about what we had just experienced. Many people in the “upper class” thought that it would not be fair to give some of their money away to the poor because they worked hard for their money.
