Are we responsible to other people’s children

As parents, we take much more responsibilities on our own kids. We want to give them the best things we have, and we will give them full of love. We pay much for them to go to school. We hope they can live in a place full of love and happiness.  We are selfish since we are born. We only take care of ourselves, our properties, and our own children. We don’t take care others too much, not mention other people’s children. It is just none of our business. What a sad and pity fact. Look at the book Savage Inequalities, especially on chapter two, other people’s children, those children are so naïve, so young, but they have to stand so much burden. And no one care about them if they are good in school.

            From chapter two, we can see the environment of these children, simple building, with no decoration. Teacher is serious, lack of warm and love. Books are old, not related with them. Not so much materials, not so much activities. They are all children, just like others who live in a happy life, but they cant get what other children get. Only because they are black, they live in a poor area? Do we need to do something else? Like the little girl in the book said, she just moved out of those poor area, so others also can do like her. So she means the only thing can do for them, is that they need to move out of there by themselves. Dose that really make sense? I think no. For most of people there, they have used their life there, maybe they don’t know how to survive if they move out of there. They can move, but how they can find their new life in other places. For others, as us, can we do anything for them? We live on a same planet, and we should share our resource with each other. Those children are not our own children, but we need to care them. They are innocent, and they have the right to live better. We cant treat them depend on their race. Such as the book said, the government put much money on other field, only little on the black people. They think they are not valuable to invest. So they prefer to invest much money for the white people. So we can see the white children can get the best conditions of the school, only because they are born white. It is shame to judge people by their color of the skin. We should know they are also human, not what race they are. As human being, it is our responsible to give every one a choice to live better. We have responsibilities to let every one share the resource we have. The wealth belongs not only to us, not only for us to live better, but for the whole human being. We need to help those people who are in poor, who are struggled for life. It is our responsible to let children feel safe, feel equal. Every child has the right to pursue their dream, we should not let race or poverty to stop them on the way of their dream.
