In Los Angeles there is a hard truth about the living conditions, the rich and poor live in totally different worlds. Starting with the rich they live mainly in LA Santa Monica, in the Beverly Hills area a lady named Mrs. Shelton is one of the richest people that live in Santa Monica for work she is a relater that specializes in selling mansions which run about 20 million, and her living style is vastly expensive from her HUGE walk in closet even to a personal hair dresser, Mrs. Shelton is living the LA "American" dream. Just two blocks away from all the glory is a street known as Skid road aka the slums where at least 90% of LA's drug addicts live, the homeless living style is nothing compared to the rich. Tents, Sleeping bags in the grass/concret, and even shopping carts full of their belongings. People struggle just to have at least one meal to eat. With the homeless rate growing rapidly and a new rising drug called the "Zombie Drug" has thousands of drug addicts hooked. A former homeless man and now barber "Mr. James", comes to give out free haircuts almost every week. Another person who is trying to do good by the homeless is a doctor that gives out free medical consultations which is very helpful for those that might have anxiety regarding going to the doctors to get checked out.

Today in media arts we watched a video about the extreme rich vs the poor divide in LA. When I was watching the video they showed a man that goes to the poor side of LA and give the poor food and free haircuts. His name is James Curtis, he also was an drug addict. He make sure everybody is sufficient. He offer food distributions everyday to help. What makes a bum is the bad addiction to drugs. Drug addictions is the worse thing that can happen to somebody. The addiction is getting so bad that the homeless is taking the zombie drug. What's crazy is that the drug they was taking is for animals. They literally killing over. Looking like zombies the way they was bending over not moving. LA is like a heaven to the extreme rich. Mansions is selling for 20 million dollars. You got Beverly hills on the left and got the poor on the other side. There are a lot of people living in tents. Lastly the good part of LA is only two blocks away from the poor.

California county is split in two. One half the super rich and the super poor. In Santa Monica where the rich live real estate is at an all time high the peak even reaching 22million dollars. Closets full of designer brands and million dollar mansions and supercars. Just two blocks away are the ultra poor. Not even being able to afford haircuts. Streets are full of RV's making driving unsafe on some roads. California is the home to skid row. California has the largest population of homeless people. There's a man named James who is a recovered drug addict. He goes out of his way to give the homeless free haircuts and gives out food every Sunday. A portion of the homeless people are drug addicts. They are addicted to drugs like fentanyl and a new drug some call the zombie drug derived from zynonal which is meant be used for animals as an anesthetic. Another reason is due to the favorable weather in California.

In Los Angeles California There is a huge problem and that is the poor and the rich. The Rich are having a field day because they are not mainly affected by the annual consumption rate which is 15% There is a street called the skid street where there is a line of homeless people stretching out for 3-4 blocks but 2 streets down from that are the rich people they could make a change but they do not. There is a guy that is called James. He is one of the rich people, he helps the poor by giving them clothes, food, and free haircuts. In general the world is unfair. And it will stay unfair until someone brave enough make a change for the people who cannot make change themselves.

The extreme rich in L.A. live in northern L.A. around Santa Monica and the poor live mostly south of there. Some houses in Santa Monica can be sold for as much as 20 million dollars and some can go for even more. The extreme rich live really good in L.A. as they are either in real estate and acting. There are also, as much as 30,000 homeless people or more in south L.A.

LA has a a big gap in living between rich and poor people. They showing how rich this woman is by showing her house and how many expensive things she own. Then they are showing us the poor part of LA where people don't got enough money to afford things. Some people become homeless in La because of addiction. They also go to Cali because of the warm weather. 90% of homeless people in La are addicts some people live in tents.

The extreme rich vs the poor are divided in Los Angeles certain slides of Los Angeles have poor and rich places. Rich people have designer bags and big coats and big closets. The poor live in the slums shacks and etc. Skid road is popular because people go to be stars and end up as bums and the weather is good. 90% of the homeless are drug addicts. Since late 2010 homeless people have been hooked on fentanyl

Los Angeles is split into two which means one side is crazy rich and the other side is crazy and broke. Why I say the broke is crazy is because some are on zombie drugs. They call the homeless area skid row. Mr. James is a man that comes and cut the homeless hair and feed them. He does that to make them feel good about themselves. The streets is covered with SUV'S and vans. Two blocks from the poor is the rich. The rich has big houses and their clothes are very expensive Their houses cost 20 million US dollars. LA county became heaven to wealthy.

It's the fifth most expensive city in the world the rich live in Beverly Hills and the poor live in the south. People are living their dreams and living great which is two blocks away from skid row. Also James brings food into the homeless community and gives them haircuts Skid row is big because the weather is great. A lot of homeless are addicted to drugs and that is holding them back from being successful in LA. The drug is a animal tranquilizer. People sleeping on benches and living in tents. They also don't want to go to a medical center because of anxiety. Lets hope them people get it together and get back on their feet.

Soccer simply called football in most countries around the world and soccer in English-speaking countries like the united states is very different. American football and Soccer has two disciplines and also distinct rules, objectives, equipment and playing styles understanding their unique identity and cultural significance. The most obvious difference concerns the ball and the way it is played and football the ball is round and players primarily use their feet to control pass and shoot at the goal .
