People Like Us When first reading the piece by David Brooks I was shocked about the bold statement that he made. Growing up I always believed I surrounded myself with others that were not all the same as me‚ however the more I look into my actually life and each piece there is a fair amount of truth behind his “admission”. I can look at different aspects of my everyday life‚ and see how I actually am not surrounded by a diverse group of people. I live in a mainly white Republican neighborhood‚ upper-middle

section of the chapter I didn’t like how the author said we communicated more with people like ourselves. Granted that it may be true for some‚ the wording seems off to me. " people like ourselves " can mean a lot more than race‚ social status and ethnic groups (as the author mentioned). By limiting " people like ourselves " to those three categories i feel as though she is saying those are the main categories that link people‚ which I disagree with. I feel like saying " people with commonalities " would

CONFORM PEOPLE‚ CONFORM! Get used to living with nothing because that’s all you’re going to get. We’re the wealthiest nation in the world but that wealth is only for some people‚ not you huddled masses‚ working stiffs. $30K a year breaks down to about $15 an hour and change‚ pathetically something like 47% of our working population in the U.S.A. earns less than that.
