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.
