  <span>ElieWiesel, being just a teenager, witnessed the murder of his family in the Auschwitz concentration camp, where Elie himself was a prisoner. During his stay in the concentration camps, he came to feel that being abandoned by God was worse than being punished by him. It was better an unjust God than an indifferent one, hence the expression that indifference, is the emotion more harmful and more dangerous than anger or hatred. Indifference is not the beginning; is the end. And therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy because he benefits from the aggressor, never from his victim, whose pain is magnified when he or she feels forgotten.</span>

In his speech “The Perils of Indifference”, Wiesel voices out that he believes indifference to even be more dangerous than anger and hatred. The two aforementioned emotions can push a person to action, whereas indifference shows a lack of compassion by not even acknowledging the injustice happening.  Indifference, while not actively causing harm, will always be an advantage to evil and thus is dangerous in itself.

What was the relationship between the development of suburbs and car ownership?
denpristay [2]

After the Great Depression and the end of the war era, many Americans were wanting to settle down into a family life and experience “The American Dream” of owning a home with land and having more children. This led to flocks of people, especially war veterans getting government assistance, buying land outside of urban cities and the creation of the suburb area.

The creation of automobiles by big companies such as Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors along with the creation of the International Highway System allowed for this transition to happen successfully on a mass scale. People were now able to own private transportation, and travel to and from work and commercial stores in major cities, leaving the often overcrowded and tarnished cities and apartment building living to poor immigrant and African American majorities.
