A Person is a Person, no Matter How Small

"A person's a person, no matter how small"- Dr. Suess
 
 
Ronald Davis is a homeless man who really hates the fact that he cannot get a job in the modern society. He says that every time he tries to go get a job, they tell him to leave a phone number, which he obviously doesn't have if he is homeless. The fact that sometimes people look down at the man for being homeless is awful. However, in today's society, it is true that some people fake being homeless to make a little extra money. It is true that media tell those of us in cars not to give money to the homeless because if they really need it, they can go to a homeless shelter or a food pantry to get what it is that they need. Despite this, Ronald should not feel that some people think of him less than human because he is homeless. People that call him names really are the only thing that makes him mad. He can stand it that all these people go home and have lives. But what he can't stand is that he should be viewed as a human being as compared to every other person.
 
 
Dr. Suess once said "A person's a person no matter how small." This really applies in this situation with Mr. Davis. No matter how "low" in life you have to stoop in order to survive, a person is a person. This video is a wake up call to all of those people. It really gives you the perspective and positive attitudes of these people who have the most awful problems that humans can experience.
