Minimum wage

Lately, we have been focusing on the large gap between the rich and the poor in sociology. We even watched a video that depicted a perfect example of this. In the video, a man and his wife tried to live 30 days while being paid minimum wage. I always see adults working at places like fast food restaurants and grocery stores, but I have never taken the time to really sit down amd see what their life is like. The people on the show had an extremely difficult time making ends meet, and they were only doing this for a short period of time. I can't imagine what it would be like to live your life pay check to pay check on a daily basis. After this unit, I think I'm much more thankful for everything I have. Also, I have realized that our country really isn't one of equal opportunity.
