Some people only see the homeless and never look at the truth and history of the poor on the streets. The reality that we can help someone and change their life. An example about homeless people can be of any age. This 12 year old boy was homeless near the market in El Salvador, dead and dirty. Everyone passed by him, but they never stopped to help the boy. I was passing by and I gave him some oranges that I was carrying home for my family. Singer states: “Unlike Dora, Bob did not need to look into the eyes of the child he was sacrificing for his own material well-being.” (402) This is the reality regarding the material/gentile relationship. Since Bob didn't care about the boy getting hit by the train. Society can be cruel because we only care about ourselves and others who have enough money to spend on luxury. When I was in school my classmates went from age twelve to first grade, but we never know how much this little boy has been through. The rich live with the poor. And the poor survive by working for the poor
