The episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians we watched in class was a perfect example of the upper income class of America trying to somehow help out a homeless person. Throughout the episode they keep crediting themselves for doing such a good deed by providing him food, shelter, clothing, and dentures, but in reality they were taking advantage of the situation to have a perfect plot for their TV show.
At first they actually try kicking him off the premise of their stores property. He agrees to move, but the girls go back after the guy because they knew it would make a good episode. Their idea was probably to make themselves appear benevolent, but to me it looks like they are treating the man like non-human.
In conclusion, I think that episode was particularly wrong on so many levels. It was hard to watch them be such snobs and try boosting there tv ratings at the expense of a homeless person
