I agree with the question "if you aren't part of the solution, are you part of the problem?" You are most definitely part of the problem. If you see someone on the streets getting harassed, just because you yourself is not having the problem doing nothing isn't the right thing to do. In Grifo's Social Issue class we have been talking about Morals and Ethics, and we have watched some videos in which actors were spray painting cars, and doing graffiti on them and most people would just walk by like theres nothing wrong because it isn't something that affects them. However i think we could all live in a better world if we didn't just think of our selves and help other people with their problems to become a part of the solution.

In the book Sold Lakshmi is faced with major hardships of being a sex slave. Here in the United States we don't see it almost ever therefore we aren't affected by it. But many young woman, like Lakshmi a young 13 year old girl are affected by it in third world countries. It may not affect us, but we are part of the problem because if not enough people help and speak up that its wrong then we will be punished by it, and not make a solution for it.
