learn new cultures and ways of perceiving life,
Toronto is a place that is blessed with cultures from
around the world, that bring various outlets of
information to the table, I would love to see more
places where all these cultures are inspired to share
knowledge.
I have lived in Parkway Forest since I came here; I
am now 23 and have seen a wide range of people
with different backgrounds and stories. The area
was once violent, the buildings were broken and it
reflected the kind of people that lived here. I would
not consider this area High Risk because it is now
filled with modern infrastructure and the quality of
persons has changed, people are more “civilized”.
The unfortunate truth about our society is we feel
money takes away our problems. In my area, low
income families had their homes broken down so
that the “modern look” could become a reality.
Our problems are not being solved; they are simply
being neglected and moved.
When a youth is put in a situation where making
ends meet means going against the civilization and
its rules it is called a crime, when a company chooses
to build in a broken home, it’s called, normal. I
am in no way condoning the actions of youth that
chose to take matters into their own hands and put
other persons in society at risk, but it is the ripple
effect of a mind that lacks knowledge of self-outside
of the established order.
In closing I would like to emphasize that the
government is not faulty, it works as it’s supposed
to, but it is overwhelmed with having to deal with
every aspect of what makes us human, there isn’t
enough personal initiative. The youth starts from
within, and never dies, I believe our youth need a
stronger sense of unity and self, they need more
people to show them the world, inspire them to tap
into the potential of each being. It’s not the solution
to eliminate fear, but to understand it.
