Walter Ewing was talking about  the unfair treatment of undocumented immigrants that contributes to the United States economy by working all kinds of jobs and paying tax but are not recognized for their contribution. The lawmakers need to be more considerate the undocumented immigrant. The government  should revamp our immigrations system so that it works with our economy ,not against it.

   The government should help undocumented immigrant with  their business.  I have a lady in my church she is an undocumented immigrant. She is a small business owner. She owns a clothing store on flatbush av. Although she is struggling to pay for the business rental space, she also have to provide shelter and food for the family, and pay taxes. She should be recognize for contribution to the economy.

   The underground worker should get health insurance. I have a friend she became sick, and she went to kings county hospital which is a hospital that takes care of undocumented immigrants. She got to the hospital at 8am. She seened by the nurse at noon, and went to seat down to be seen by the doctor. It was 7pm she wasn't seen by the doctor. She ended up going home. That was unfair, if she had health insurance, she could have gone the hospital of her choice and would be able to be seen on a timely manner.

The government should let the undocumented immigrants to be eligible for  many others programs because the undocumented immigrants spent billions of dollars to support our economy and help create new jobs.

We began to scream for help. The sanitation truck driver backed up to see what had happened. He asked us if we were okay. We called the bus company, and the police officers for help. People watched from far away. They didn't ask if we were all right or called the police. We did on our own.

         As I stated before, many people watched,but they didn't ask or helped us. The police officers asked people if they saw anything. No one stepped up to say anything. Ms Travis stated that of it was an individual, people would have helped or show concerns towards this incident. I have realized if I was alone, maybe some one would have helped me during the accident. Again, it is sad that people showed no concern toward the accident.

         According to the article, the individual will get more attention than the group. I have experienced it and realized how people can react on a group and individually. Psychologists call this "diffusion of responsibility" or "social loafing" affect our society. It is important that we see how nature takes affect in individuals in groups.

       In conclusion Carol Travis explains how nature affects groups and individuals. Again, I explain my situation after getting into an accident, people saw what had happened, but no one came to help me or the bus driver. Also, I have seen how an individual was hit by a car and every one near and far came to help him.
       Nature plays a major role in society. Individual will get quick attention. As for groups, the attention will be given later or not at all.
