Race Relations in America

What do you think the term United State stands for? When I asked some of my friends, the majority answers I received were people unite in America and help to grow this country. They were right, but that was just a small piece in a whole picture. United Nations means many people from different races and ethnicity join together in America and help to build this country. But, today is a result of difficult process in the past, it includes blood, sweat and lives in order for the future generations to be equal and cooperate with each others.

Let’s take a few steps back to the civil war, the battle between North and South or also known as against slavery and support slavery. The main leader for the south was also our fourth POTUS, Abraham Lincoln. The result of the war were 13th, 14th and 15th were ratified. These Amendments provide black right to vote, no more slavery, etc… Let’s get to a little bit nearer, President FDR ended segregation in the military and MLK tried to end racism. There were many effort in the past to end racism, many had success and some had failed, but something is always better than nothing.

Racism is still here today but it has been subsided. We now have a first black President. Black  earned the same rights as White. People from different countries go to school together and help each other out. Asian, African or American are all the son and daughter of Mother Nature. “United we stand. Divided we fall”

HISTORY REFLECTION

Many changes took place after soldier came back from WW2. Baby Booming, The growth of the industry: Car, household appliances, change in the culture. There were more entertainment for people. Many comedies were created, Jazz started to emerge,etc… The economy profited from these categories. Cars began to appear in many families, it started to become normal for a family to have 2 cars. Women mostly stayed home and do chore.

There is a big difference between the culture in 1950 and 2016. We have a good foundation or a good base to start with. Different kind of musics like pop, EDM, rap, etc… make an impact on teenagers. Cars look a lot fancier and more expensive. Women and men now have the same role, the concept that women must stay home and men go to work is no longer exist

President Obama’s foreign policies

The foreign policy of president Obama is called Obama Biden Plan. This policy was created by President Obama and Joe Biden in order to renew the America’s security. The Obama-Biden foreign policy will end the war in Iraq responsibly, finish the fight against the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan, secure nuclear weapons and loose nuclear materials from terrorists. Renew American diplomacy to support strong alliances and to seek a lasting peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Obama and Biden will always maintain a strong deterrent as long as nuclear weapons exist. But they will take several steps down the long road toward eliminating nuclear weapons. President Obama has put in a lot of effort to help our economy to growth and it works. Reduced the rate of criminals, less unemployed workers, etc… I’m looking forward for our next president to do the exact things as President Obama
