1. In the countrywide mortgage company, it shows that they don't really care about the circumstances of which the loan was not payed. For example, they didn't know that he spoke very limited English, so they just assumed that he didn't pay his rent because he didn't have the money, when he really did. He was just unable to understand that the "bill" they sent him was actually a bill since it did not have the Countrywide seal on it. He was outside the system and he was burned because of it, even if it wasn't his fault. If I was part of Countrywide, I would have someone explain to him that he has to pay the 20,000 dollar loan, but give him some time to do it, and I would not have foreclosed his house.
2. The Stanford experiment was a disturbing experiment that opened the psychology world's eyes to what can happen when a system is put in place. It showed the difference between the docile prisoner and the hardcore rebellious prisoner. It also showed the harsh reality between a helpful and nice prison guard and a corrupt evil one that abuses his power and makes the inmates lives living hells. This experiment shows what will happen to even nice people who are given a task. It can turn them into evil and not nice people without them even knowing it. For example, even the person who was leading the study became a prison warden and became the same as the guards.
3. These girls worked outside and challenged the systems in different ways. The first Rachael Barge started a new fund that would help the environment. This is not a huge issue for the system right now, which is why the environment is dying. She had the strength to carry on and help it, and I'm sure she faced prejudiced because of it.
