This article" I am a criminal " was about a black african american women that points out that we are all criminals. Where one time in life we have all committed a crime, weither it was from Our young years or even more recent. Michelle Alexander is the author of this article and she asks her self"Who am I ?How do I Identify?"She says to people that she is a criminal because she's being truthful. she also explains on how you cant judge a person by their personality and their looks. Every body does things but you cant tell by the way they look. When we are bias towards certain people and their looks , we expect and assume things .As in this article she speaks of how , when we judge we expect the poor and the "ghetto " to steal and break laws but thats not always true .When we get caught by the law of course we'll think oh i'll get by , this wont be a problem . BUT that isn't always the sisuation we have to be considerate and think of others and actually abide by the laws and follow them.
In your everyday lives, we live on and continue in life. But do you really stop and think "wait did I just do that?" when we walk on a red light . Do we regret the fact that we did immature, childish things when we were18 and hanging out with friends at a party ?! i mean come on we break laws everyday wheather we pay attention to it or not !
