9/11
The disaster or speculated by some to be A result of terrorism from Islamic groups. Prior to this before I was even born there were some visit that occurred that led Americans to believe that the only people who would think to do such thing would be the Muslim terrorist. prior to this there were times for Muslims or committee active terrorism just to show attention to what they believe to be wrong with their community.The Islamic the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan might have played a role. -
War in Iraq
The primary rationalization for the Iraq War was articulated by a joint resolution of the United States Congress known as the Iraq Resolution. The US claimed the intent was to "disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, to end Saddam Hussein's support for terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people". -
Cyber protection
There are some Americans in political clear as well, who are worried about other countries spying on America. Some things they were these countries may take is information on war strategies, or it could be funds. However, at any of the day, it really doesn’t matter what these countries may be taking when they spy in America it’s the matter of spying in general. Hence things like cyber security exist to make sure that important information is kept away from foreign Countries, especially Russia. -
Personal experience #2
My personal experience with the police hasn’t happened yet . I haven’t been stopped by police and they have never approached me. However that does not change my distaste for police officers. I know what people like them have done for essentially no other reason besides abusing the power . To me it seems like the cops feel like they are above the law and many are treated like that when they are a whit cop mistreating people that look like me . I can never befriend them knowing with this is mind. -

Police brutality
Police brutality is something that has been going on since before I was even born especially to people in my community. However throughout my life their have been reoccurring big stories of the police mistreating black Americans for any reason the feel like . It’s doesn’t stop at just brutal force more often the not they end up dead and they usually are black men. As a black man you learn to hate the police and you feel as though you have nobody to protect you. -

Healthcare
Healthcare it seems has been another problem that has been going on since before I was born. It affects especially the minorities and is one of the things president Barack Obama was criticized for , many thought his attempts at solving this problem were lackluster. However even after he’s finished his time as president it continues to become a problem. For minorities, who are usually apart of the lower classes, it’s a major problem for the more wealthy classes, white Americans, it has no effect. -

Technology
Technology during my lifetime has rapidly advanced up until now. The first iPhone created a monumental shit in the technology world. Many people had to learn how to use phones like these on their own considering iPhone didn’t give out instructions on how to use it. This was a 2007 when the first iPhone came out It was more convenient to use them prior phones that were bulky or had bugs. Along with other companies, iPhone has been constantly improving their phones Size, look, camera and storage. -

Barack Obama
President Obama became president when I was young child but he had a huge impact on the black community. In fact many believe that a good portion of the reason that he was elected was because he was black and that therefore promoted many black Americans to get out and vote. That is just speculation, regardless of the real reason, for the black community president Obama was someone who made us feel seen. -

Presidency:
To me as someone who until recently couldn’t vote I was always enthusiastic about the different candidates but at when they finally became president I didn’t notice much of a difference in my life. Maybe I was too young to see how the different presidents were affecting the people but it seemed to me like it was just new president taking place of the last one. As I’ve gotten older I’ve began to understand which choice of president is better but my enthusiasm for voting has diminished -
Personal experience #1
For me at the time that 9/11 happened I wasn’t even born yet but but the time I started to understand the world around it didn’t matter. The emotions that people felt had began to die down. One thing that still remained was Americans skepticism towards people from places like Iran and Iraq. These were the places where the main religion was Islam and at the their were proclaimed who were committing acts of terrorism which is why it made sense for people to assume Muslims were behind it all along. -

Donal Trump
Donald trump became president while I was still just a teenager and was arguably a more controversial elected president then Obama. Many people in the black people felt he was racist based on some of his remarks and didn’t help his case that many racist people supported him. While he was president he did say many racist things but he also seemed to help many communities such as the black community on the other hand. He is currently on trail for seemingly causing his racist supporters to riot. -

The Wall
One thing that former president Donald Trump was preaching about during his time as president was building a wall to keep illegal immigrants from fleeing to America. Many Americans believed that building the wall was unnecessary and that we should allow people in need a better opportunity in life . Other thought that these immigrants would take over their jobs and make things crowded. I think that they shouldn’t cross over illegally and that there should be a limit on how many can come. -
Personal experience #3
For me even I’m living in a time where technology is improving and has so much to do with our every day lives I’m still new in a way to this. A lot of kids my age had phones by 6th or 7th grade but didn’t have a phone on my own till I was high school and even then it was outdated is comparison to my peers. However, I will say that I think going from no phone to having a phone was almost a rights of passage in a way and made you seem more cool and somewhat equated to popularity. -

Another event that’s going on during my life/time Is a struggle for jobs. before I was even born there were so many jobs available and a lot of people were taking those available jobs. Now it seems like every job is hiring but there so many people who aren’t getting hired who meet the requirements. To me that is confusing, If you need people to work for you and they meet the requirements why not hire them?. How are there so many people who need jobs are looking for jobs and can’t find them? -
Other #1
One even that’s going on now that makes little sense to me is Ukraine. I personally don’t understand what we have to do with Ukraine because I for one don’t remember us being allies with them not saying wet enemies either. However what bothers me is the people of Ukraine or who see what’s happening begging Americans to show them attention and help them. And complaining when we don’t even though we have nothing to do with them and. They should be able to fight their own wars or they’ll fall hard.
