After discussing Taibbi's article

After the discussion that we had on Matt Taibbi's article in class, I have learned a lot of things behind his article. I learned the different viewpoints that my other classmates had on the issue of the Occupy Wallstreet movement. I didn't really know too much about the issue till we discussed it in class. The Occupy movement is more then just people blaming the banks and the big corporate companies for things, they are basically just putting all the things that they have found wrong with the govt. and banned together to make a riot in order to get what they wanted. Within the movement you will find anyone, from a person that works a 9 to 5 and has a wife and kids, and you can also find the person that works three jobs in order to support his family. You would be surprised who you see at the Occupy Wallstreet movement. I like the fact that Dr. Kelly brought up when he said, that according to the blog noone really knew what the movement was really about, he brought up the point, "Why doesn't your generation care about this issue?" The class then brought up the points that we don't really need to since it doesn't affect us directly, most of these issues affect our parents and in the long run will affect us but we don't realize that it is coming.
