Marc Dahlman (Living For 30 Days on Minimum Wage)

9. Why Do you think that Alex Became so emotional about the services that were given to her and Morgan at the Free Store?Alex became emotional because she never has had to experience something like that or even know that there were people like that in the world. most people including myself would never have to go through something like this and even imagining that people have to do this makes us think of things differently. I know that i view things like giving to the less fortunate as more of a thing that i see myself doing because we don't really know just how much it means. This emotion form Alex is also tied into all of the other struggles that she and Morgan were facing while living on minimum, and to think that people have to do this day in and day out instead of just 30 days is something that is hard to handle. It is because of this that makes me wonder why the goevernment and politicians wont raise the minimum wage whether its raised a dollar or 3 dollars it is obvious that they change needs to come from the higher level of america

12. While Morgan and Alex spent their 30 days on minimum we see them get into arguments over spending and things like food and furniture. For example when Morgan is buying food for the kids in the market and Alex is getting upset because she has been walking to work and Morgan is just spending it on extra food. This happens all over the country is is the main root to most divorces in the United States. The conflict of money is something aimless face every day and is yet another reason for people to push the government for a higher minimum wage.
