In America's new working class, Arnold argued that the so called "walfare" of United States did not actually improve the lives of Americans in extreme poverty, instead, he compared the walfare system to "slavery" to stress that recipients of "walfare" were living miserable lives. The only jobs they could get through the system were jobs"nobody wants". The recipients were forced into cheap labors.
In "In search of justice", the writer suggested that while Americans are "building bigger houses, driving bigger cars", Too much resources were consumed. These resources could have been used to ease the pain of children in hunger, but now they bring about "an environmental catastrophe", as more and more gasolines are consumed, producing air pollutants.
Both of Arnold and Velazquez looked into the life of people living in extreme poverty and tried to find sources of their pain. Arnold blamed the system, while Velaquez criticize that poverty may has resulted fromthe extravagant American lifestyle.
