"The Lottery" and "The Perils of Indifference"

The short story "The lottery" and the speach "The Perils of Indifference" both demonstrate the inhuman way that regular everyday people treat each other. All over the world citizens, just like you and me, do injustice and cruel thing, and to each of them there in the right. The question is are they really in the right?

In the short story "The lottery" you learn about this small town, with children that play and mothers that cook, and fathers working to keep thing in tip top shape. Everything is normal. This small town has traditions just as others do. The lottery is there tradition, when you hear the word lottery you thin money, prizes and such. This lottery is not any normal lottery the "winner" isn't really a winner. The so called winner is
beaten to death. After the lottery everyone goes back to there everyday duties. This lottery isn't in the right, but if you had grown up knowing that every year this lottery happens, would you think that it's injust?
