The State of America
The State of America
The American dream as we once knew it is dead. Besides the constant threat of war from North Korea, the US is still racially divided 53 years after the Civil Rights Act was passed. There is a major culture shift happening in our nation with women and men exposing sexual misconduct in the workforce. The Education system is flawed in that students are taught solely how to fit into corporate America as cogs in the machine. Americans are not learning about their rights as citizens. Just as facts are dismissed as fake news and have herded the people of America into a dumbing down of our society. These things and others have caused our role as a super power within the world to change.
Fifty-three years after the Civil rights act was passed there are racial riots happening in the streets of the United States of America. We have watched far too many dash-cam or body-cam videos of police officers using excessive force on dark skinned individuals that ended in the worse possible outcome.
Stemming from the #me_too movement, women and men have come forward to expose how prevalent sexual misconduct has been in the workplace. Since that, allegations of sexual misconduct have hit almost every industry, including 15 women who have accused the president of misconduct over a 20-year period.
We as a society have had our basic logic turned upside down by the term of “fake news.” If a story doesn’t fit the agenda of the subject, a quick denial and label of fake news is all that is necessary to stop the story from gaining traction in the media outlets. Thus making society question it’s own level of knowledge. Individual thoughts and creativity are not encouraged. And in turn, kids are being prepped to be cogs in the machine of corporate America. Americans do not know their rights. Civics is not taught in most schools anymore and people are not aware of how the government works around them.
The United States of America is suffering at its core. For many, the state of our country is measured on how well we live out the American dream. But what is the American dream anymore? For many it was a time when white males could prey on young women for sexual pleasure. Or was it a time when lunch counters were separated by the color of your skin? Was America great when our education system ranked top in every subject or when we placed at the bottom as recently polled? Was America great when space exploration was at the forefront of our growth? Or are we better off with a large segment of society believing the Earth is flat? Before the US can be the superpower it once was, we must come together to build up the core structure of our society and strive to treat each other better and learn about our government in order to overcome the deliberate oppression of its people.
