Outcasts United

Tonight as I listened to Warren St. John, author of Outcasts United, I become more intrigued with his book. Not only did he tell us about how he found this story, he also told as about his experiences and how Clarkston has changed.

He told us about this one little boy who thought he was rich. When he asked the boy why he thought that, he said because you have a different car all the time. He had to explain to the little boy how he rents the cars.

To the average American, things like this are normal in everyday live, but to a foreigner these things are bizarre and unknown. They don't understand how American society works. But to the average American, life without the things in our society is bizarre and we wouldn't know what to do. In most countries, what you see is what you get, but here there is a whole different aspect. We have the internet where everything from our finances to our social life is at our fingertips.

Not only to the refugees need to learn how to live and about American society, but Americans need to listen to and learn about the lives of the refugees.
