    Neglect can be the cause of death for many elderly citizens in our society. In a passage adapted from "The Woman Who Died in the Waiting Room" by Jeneen Interlandi, the author presents us the story of an elderly woman named Esmin Green.
    Esmin Green, one day waiting in Brooklyn's largest psychiatric hospitals waiting room, passed away. It wasn't until someone finally came after 60 minutes and checked that they found out she had passed away. The main idea the author presents is neglect Esmin Green faced and others still do. "As disturbing as the cicumstances of Esmin Green's death were, They should not have come as a surprise".
    There are many reasons for neglect itself, and one of them can be neglecting the needs of another due to lack of financial support. In the case of Esmin Green we can see this first reason aswell as lack of rescources. "The mentally ill typically wait twice as long for treatment as other patient populations do". This mainly happens because we do not have as many Facilities for the mentally ill as we are willing to provide.
     In my own personal experience i have seen a person pass away just because there wasn't half the equipment required to help that person present in the ambulance.

                The Illinois House passed a bill that would allow young people who are illegal in the U.S to pay in-state tuition rates at Illinois state colleges and universities.

                In a passage excepted from “An Education in Citizenship”, Chicago Tribune Editorial, The author explains how unfair it is for illegal residents to be paying lower tuition fee compared to the amount paid by legal residents. The most significant idea the author presents is, why even insist on Citizenship?

                I agree with the author, because there is a distinction in the rights that are to be expected as a legal citizen. “The notion that someone can have no legal right to be present in the country but be entitled to a very expensive and valuable benefit of citizenship is absurd in its face”.

                There must be a reason the legal citizens of this country might have accepted for this to happen. The idea that someone who is not allowed legally to be present in the country and is allowed an higher education for a lesser amount than the average citizen contradicts itself because those people are not even to be living there.
