While the rest of the world’s bereavements are overlooked, our own first world problems ignite coffee table buzz and intellectual pomp. However, for such talk, little is actually done. Despite our wealth of blessings, affluent Americans fail to give back to the people most in need.

In my mind, the responsibility China had in encouraging the genocide in Darfur was all too much to handle, making my stomach churn. The Olympic Games were intended to exist as a symbol of global collaboration and harmony, not a representation of self-interest and violence. Now, I couldn’t watch them.
