Paris Is Burning. What Can You Do?
Kind of wierd to talk bout France when I'm having my math paper 2 tmr but i just I'm really disturbed by the riots that is happening in the suburban of France.To many of us, the riots that started two weeks ago in France seemed like a French problem. We didn't think they would affect us, and we hoped they would be over soon. But since beginning in the bleak high rises that surround Paris and house its poor (mostly Muslims of African descent), they have spread across the country, and even into Germany and Belgium. In some quarters there is such fear that people are even speaking about a maracialcial split in Europe.
Whether that comparison is a good one or not, we should all be concerned with what is happening in France. As in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, the underlying reason for the violence is the enormous and growing gap between the worldÂs rich and its poor.
This is not a passing concern. It is a crying injustice that ought to touch every heart. Humanly seen, there is very little we can do other than look up to God and to pray like never before for the thousands who are suffering on all sides. But that is something. And each of us can also help prevent such violence from breaking out elsewhere: we can love our next-door neighbours regardless of race as ourselves, not only in word, but in deed.
Let the news media worry about the riots' effect on the global economy. Sadly, as with every other disaster and tragedy these days, that seems to be their foremost concern. But let us not forget that even if those in power measure everything according to its political and financial impact, there is another, far more important dimension to all this: the human aspect.
In the end, the riots are all about the oppression of the poor and underprivileged. It is the same sort of oppression that caused the French Revolution two hundred years ago. Today, as then, those who enjoy economic security are simply not willing to share with those who are less fortunate.
That is why lawlessness and violence are on the rise, not only in France, but around the world. We have made an idol of success and look down on those who do not achieve it. We value people's money and things above their souls, and in the process, we are making human life cheaper and cheaper. Sometimes I really do wonder are we really progressing as a human race because it seems to me we are more barbaric now compared to cavemen when it comes to attaining our material needs.
Money is indeed the root of all evil. I'm pretty glad that I have already got rid of "money is everything" mentality in me. There is definitely more to life than money and A levels.
