Occupy Movement

Thinking about the Occupy Movement, I think about people fighting for what’s right and really trying to express to people that they should be paying attention to things that aren’t right. Looking at the picture, I felt the painter trying to raise awareness to everyone around what’s going on in the world. In our world there are a lot of sneaky things that is going on and I feel as citizens we should all know what is going on. In the mural there are 3 sections of the picture and I feel it is broken down perfectly. The government paints a picture for us and that’s what we see, then they have those that look over us to make sure that what the government is doing is not released to the public, and then there are those at the lower level that are making money off of those that poor and is trying to reach the top. But of course, the government doesn’t want that to happen because they are making money off of those that less fortunate. The people that are standing up for our rights see this nation heading back into the Great Depression and they don’t want that to happen. It makes me sick to know what is being hidden from us and knowing that people can be so cruel in this world. In my opinion, I really feel that it is very pointless to be so money hungry and so materialistic because when it is time to exit this world, they money cannot go with us and it would mean nothing. All of this is about money and moving ahead in this world, people being money hungry, and wanting power over those that do not know. The mural was very clear and I feel the Occupy is doing a great job in exposing what’s real and standing up for our rights.
