Dear Mr President THINGS HAVE TO CHANGE

“Today’s generations are tomorrow’s future leaders.”(Said by???)

In today’s society we have had many misconceptions of people. One of these misconceptions includes racism. It is hard to believe there are many racist people in the world. Even thought the civil war is over. Many people in today’s society live in the past and we need to change that in order to bring people forward and make a change in society. Many people live paranoid because they still live in the past. First, as the future president, I believe you could try to get the people together and have the “Voice of America” which are its citizens contribute ideas to the issues of this world. On your website you state “I’m asking you to believe”. So when Americans begin to believe then I believe we all as a community should start helping people by doing workshops in order to overcome racism and have it reduced. I think that people should inform their children of past events and that they should do more current events during school to upgrade their knowledge on how the world is changing and how people today still treat others inferior to them just because of color. Also people should begin not to judge the poor. Some people have money others don’t. There should be more help for the poor in order to stop these misinterpretations that people get. In addition to that many people should try and stop spreading the accusations on different ethnicities. For example, that Asians are all smart, that African Americans have a small percentage regarding education and that if you go into a certain neighborhood, one might get shot like in the past. Since it is stated that in the United States people have freedom then in cases where in the future are held unaccountable they should be taken out of jail and put on probation. Thus, decreasing the money that Bush put towards prisons and instead put it to schools that need funds. Since we are also equal under the constitution and the 14th amendment people shouldn’t have more rights than others. People should not be winning court cases just because one person has more money than another. In other situations the legal system should be revised because many people are getting hurt and arrested for idiotic reasons like in the past. Since America is all about justice then let there be more justice and allow people to have second trials. I believe that not all human lives should be determined on one case. Many people have innocent loved ones who are being hurt ant that is causing pain and misery. With this people will give you their support because you have helped their children and have made their community better. I believe that people at war should be brought back to their countries because too much money is going into war efforts instead of supporting the country’s future which are children. If they are educated then they can make the society we are in better and we can slowly assimilate people into a non racist world that has true freedom for people, and have the equality that everyone deserves. I am not trying to suggest that America turn communist but the people to have the equality that they have been promised for the past 400 years. Also, we need education to train the leaders of the future like they were trained in the past. I believe that we should also find the root of all the current racism that exists in the world because the majority that is being affected is students of color. In a reenactment of the doll study done originally by Kenneth Clark the children had preference to race. Many children tend to absorb the things that they see and believe that it is okay. To prevent any spread of this the media world should be more censored. The reason is because many of the commercials unintentionally show racist views. For example, Barbie commercials which have the “white Ken and Barbie” while they just recently introduced the color ones. Another suggestion is that schools should be more integrated. Their still exist some schools that still have all black or all white student bodies. Also when in a captive lunch room many people tend to segregate themselves into certain categories. People already have a classification on what is a supposable “nerd”. Students should have more interactions with international students in order to expand the horizons. Who knows someone might be able to use more percent of their brain or even their whole brain. I think that in order to unlock the human mind and repair society from all the consequences of the past we all need to put our heads together and change the world .I believe that the hope for society is to control the media, increase education and decrease the power that the power that the army has. Not everything in the world is resolved with fighting but it can be done with intelligence. One person can have a voice but it takes a crowd to take actions and do something about it.
