As someone that grew up in a public school system and the trenches of a large high school it is shocking some of the statements that can be made about people regardless of what their race is. The asian population though was always a group of outcasts it seemed and were in fact the smartest out there. On a global scale as well the Asian governments get a lot more flak than what we give others and constantly attack and poke fun at them for their work and culture

I think a big part of the world no longer thinks about the history of sugar. I mean why would we its sugar everyone loves it. I know when I eat some sugar-product like a chocolate bar its not in the back of my mind the historical impact it has had. I barely really learned about it as most history classes throughout the Public school system only talk about the impact on American soil and brush over the sugar trade.

People love to forget about Hawaii and Alaska, and especially the territories that we have. Even as a history and Global politics major I do not know all the territories that America has, and partially the media and people producing maps are to blame as we are leaving people who's lives are impacted by our actions and have helped our economy in ways are being forgotten.

This just shows how much on an influencial leader that Roosevelt was to the American public. This simple change is so powerful as rather than targeting a small population as the victims of this horrible attack, it shows the unity behind the whole nation as an attack on one state is an attack on all and it was the American population that was attacked and not just a naval base in Hawaii.

It is a shame that we still have issues of these corrupt politicians saying things and not doing them. It is one thing for say they will do something and not follow through with it, but to lie on the global scale about how great of a job he has done meanwhile very little has actually been done to better the life of his people

It is very upsetting to see the saying "when the bank permits it" as it is a painful reminder that despite how we were supposed to be the land of the free people have always struggled to make a better living for themselves just because of the color of their skin. Times have gotten better sure but we still see issues of racially targeted poverty today so not much has changed since back then

This issue here reminds me of the reasons the Americans revolted the British Monarch in the first place. They felt their rights being stripped away and had no representation during government choices. The Kashmir deserve better treatment and should be allowed to follow their culture

The wall takes too much time, resources, and tax money to fund and after all this time it still is not even close to being done. If illegal immigration and illegal immigrants is an issue the U.S needs to come out with a plan that does not evolve throwing money at a wall but to other programs to help the immigrants

One of the biggest arguments people who want a wall that I have heard is that it worked for the Chinese way back when, however history shows that it only slowed down the raids and was still climbable and raidable by the Mongols. If a giant stone wall did not work back in 220 BCE why would a chainmail fence work in 2020?

If the United Nations is saying that living here is like a war zone, why are they not doing more to help the people? The United Nations has tons of resources to help major countries and the countries where the media wants but not the countries that could really use the help.

if it was not for this article and homework assignment, I would probably never of known about these people being killed. It makes you wonder how many more crazy news stories are being ignored by the mass media.

Its really disheartening to hear that good people have been forced into poverty and racial prejudice years down the line from something that has happened 90 years ago. Rather than dealing with foreign issues that only create more problems for us and the troops the American government should be doing what it can to help its own populations that it cursed in the beginning.

This shows the real issue with Gerrymandering. It is a process, along with the electoral college, that although still works to give smaller populated states power it faces issues on a state-wide level as there can be too much power given and taken away. The district borders should try to be as evenly split it just is a shame it is really hard to do it/ get good results out of it.

when looking at things like this it is no surprise that the elections we're having are starting to lean towards the Republican party, especially when for the most part the general American population leans more Democratic.

it is new stories like this that need to be covered and spoken about more on the bigger news cites, if we do not make this knowledge more public no one is able to get anythign done about it

I never actually thought about how specialized the recycling industry is. It is pretty cool and eye opening to hear the inside of the recycling industry, as it is so important to our planets future.

China's economy, while being one of the strongest in the world, is still only rising and getting adjusted to its newfound influence and fortune. By losing this many people in the work force and not having a backup will cause a huge dip in the economy not only for China, but for the whole global market.

this is a huge step for China socially back then, especially for the rural communities. In a society focused on males providing for their family, having only a girl child hurts the families future as society would not let the girl provide for her family like the boy would

I wonder why this picture didn’t have the same culture impact like the blue marble image did, it is an even more important picture that although has 5 million downloads, that’s still small for a planet with a population in the billions

This passage shows the change in what is fascinating and powerful to the modern person. Back then a simple grainy picture of the Earth was enough to change someone spiritually, whereas today there are extremely high definition photos of not only out planet , but of other planets which should have a larger effect on us.
