A conversation and movie with House Fellow Filiz Garip, allowed me to understand small part of the British society. We watched the movie “I, Daniel Blake” this movie highlighted the latter part of the life of Daniel Blake and the struggles that he had to endure post a heart attack. The pressure of returning to work, and the unsympathetic help by the government took a toll on his health. This movie was eye-opening in which it allowed me to see society from a different perspective, a perspective which I would never wish for anyone. The movie made me realize, that we pride ourselves for living in a progressive society however, we are still unable to maintain a sense of comfort, and care for all citizens. If citizens who are aged, or have health problems, or any other ailments, that restrict them from earning a decent wage, we must come together as a global community and help each other. Unless we all live a decent life, we are not a progressive society.
