“It’s monstrous! We’ve got to organize!”

Detroit workers oppose water shutoffs

this story is about Detroit workers have problem with water bill that they can not pay. This problem has face with poor people.1,000 households had been shut off as of May 26, and at least 25,000 are in danger of being shut off over the course of the summer. This is in addition to more than 33,000 who were shut off in 2014 during the Detroit bankruptcy trial.


Arlanea Alexander is one person that has face with this situation. she had receive a letter from the DWSD telling them that if they did not pay their water debt their water would be shut off. there are 10 people in her household. it became big problem when she lost her job and there is income only from her husband. there are not only water bills that she has to pay but she has to choose between water bill or another things.

"Everybody needs water!"

"If you can’t have water what can you have?  There won’t be life if there’s no water." 

"Taking away water is like taking away everything from us—all our money, all our power. It’s just slavery."

Good thing in bad thing

GOOD THING IN BAD THING

       could you tell me what is the meaning of the word good thing for you? and how about bad thing?. i believe that you are always faced with these two things in your life time. people also use color to show which color is for good or bad, but i really want to know what they took to make their decision?. however, in this blog i will share my opinion about what is good thing and bad thing for me.Also, i will show you that there are good thing in bad thing.



Family is one place that i have faced with something that i called " good and bad ". sometime i did not understand with my family, sometime i fight with them ( i mean my younger brothers) and try to be winner. when these things happened i believe that no body in family feel good and this i call " bad things ". we do not talk with each other because we feel mad and think that we are not wrong. However, we still talk, play and love each other. i do not have reason why we still talk with each other. maybe because we are family. But, when that situation finished there are something we can learn with it. we talk together what we have done, we say sorry when we feel sorry. nobody right and nobody wrong, we just have reason in ourselves and we explain them to make everyone understand "why we do like that". when every things ok and we understand together, we feel happy, feel comfortable that i call " good things". all bad things happened there are lesson for everyone to learn and realize.
