This essay did not answer one of the open ended 54

questions nor did it go with a prompt, it went it’s 56 55 own
way. It is a comparison of what happened in the 1930’s and
what happens now. An eighty eight 57 year difference and
there have only been minor changes. This essay does not
provide any answers to these problems, just points them
out. Because a fifteen year old 58 does not know to solve
them, she sees them but can not think of any way to solve
them. For seh 59 is not a humanitarian. 52
