The passage I chose was...
" when success fails to materialize and men find themselves on the margins of society, they feel cheated, emasculated, and hopeless. 'They are in real pain,' Lankford says, 'but they are eager to blame that pain on those around us.'"
I chose this passage because it really maked me think about what people are going through everyday. I thought to myself, "what causes these men to feel this way." If the things they're going throughare really that bad, how can we prevent from triggering this idea in their heads?
