People do not really talk about the state of the Indian reservations in the United States. Not to mention they talk about racism and systematic racism, but do not mention how far it goes. They also forgot about the situation for America's territories like Puerto Rico, United States Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.

Thousands of people die in the UK every year from a combination of having their disability benefits wrongfully stopped, appeals taking years in some cases, taking too long to receive their benefits and backpay, and being wrongfully awarded a lower amount than they should. Plus the fact that the amounts are just too low anyway. Some of them have died by starvation, such as Errol Graham and Mark Wood, because they're vulnerable people who are unable to access help in this situation, some have died by suicide, such as Jody Whiting, because they could not see any way out after their benefits were stopped and due to various issues such as illness, mental health, and complete destitution, could not wait, potentially for years, for the outcome of an appeal. It's a huge genocide against the disabled in the UK. I'd be one of them if not for the help I've received on here.

not really cultural advice but more of a gentle request, could your essay perhaps also focus on the aftermath of social death for those who can ”reintegrate”? i never see people talk about how it feels when youre technically no longer a drug addict or homeless but you still have the memories of people not even giving you eye contact and how it impacts your view of humanity in general. i think this could nail in how long lasting it is.
