Why desire for economic security is not being met- She is working 3 jobs even though she does have a graduate degree. She is the only one with health insurance and only one with a job in her household. They live paycheck to paycheck.
More fair situation- Better paying jobs for people with degrees, health insurance for all
Relates to social class- This person probably though with a good education and a degree she could get a good paying job. Now this person has to work 3 jobs just to support her family.
Chose this image: It was so sad to think some parents have to work that many jobs to support a family even with a college education and degree.

Why desire for economic security is not being met- She has a college degree and is in loan debt and credit card debt. She has two jobs making minimum wage.
More fair situation- More higher paying jobs for people with education and degrees.

Chose this Image: It startled me to see her sister say that it was HER fault that her life was like this.

Why desire for economic security- They have two jobs and choose between paying for health insurance or their mortgage. They are a college graduate and say they will most likely work until they die because social security will most likely be unavailable by the time they need it.
More fair situation- The rich helping out the working-class and not changing things just for their own benefit. Better jobs for college graduates.
Relates to Social Class- Shows how rich will always get richer and poor will always get poorer, since the rich only do things to benefit themselves.
Chose this image: The things they say were really sad and made me realize a lot about our society such as, "I have to pay 30% in taxes so that too-big-to-fail companies can be rescued from their own self-inflicted failure while I drive a 9 year old car with 120,000 miles and am forced to choose whether to pay for my health insurance or mortgage and have no money set aside for retirement."
