For example, Leviticus 25:35 states: "If your brother becomes poor and cannot support himself with you, you shall feed him as if he was a stranger and a traveler, and he will live with you” (ESV). As a Christian, a person is called to help those who are struggling and talks about giving everything they have to help those around them. According to Jacob Riis' film, citizens have turned a blind eye to all those who are suffering, without shelter or food. It is also stated in Proverbs 22:2: “…the rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the creator of all” (ESV). God created everyone on Earth and did not create one group to feel superior to another. The final passage that represents the other half is Proverbs 28:6: “Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who has crooked ways” (ESV). A man can be as poor as possible, but wealth does not make you better in the eyes of God. In the Gilded Age, everyone was focused on themselves and worried about how they lived. The Gilded Age saw a lot of violence due to the neglect of people who were inferior to the rich. God has called humans to care for everyone, no matter who they are or where they stand in society. Today, people must ask themselves if there was a way to prevent this violence, and the truth is that it could have been avoided, with just a little help from those who led the movement.
