“We’ve been trying to ring the alarm bells,” Ms. Ionesco said. “We know that it’s coming.” There is little modern precedent for this scale of population movement, she added.

Likewise, Los Angeles. Its most recent drought ended this year. But its water supply isn’t keeping pace with its galloping demand and its penchant for private backyard swimming pools doesn’t help.
They say: Los Angeles had a drought at the end of the year.
I say: When a place like LA has a drought there is not a threat of danger because they will be helped by the outside. When people in other countries have the same problem there needs are not met with the same respect.

Usually the husband has control over the woman in this culture, but she is breaking the mold and taking control of her own life
“She can do it,” he said. “She’s a careful person and a good driver.”
It is a common stereotype that women are bad drivers, witch is why the clarification is necessary.
"I'm an atheist, but because of this it's changing my point of view a little bit
This just shows the power of what a detected group of people can achieve. Even the most staunch atheist can be converted.
hey include naked dreadlocked holy men, Hindu priests draped in orange sarongs and garlands of marigolds, families with infants, foreign backpackers on spiritual journeys – and Shukla and his parents, who hail from the host city, Allahabad.
While some of the celebrations might seem straggle to us. It is important to remember we live in a different culture.
It happens every 12 years, its dates fixed according to the alignment of the stars and planets. This year is a half-Kumbh – six years since the last one – but it's nevertheless expected to be the biggest so far. The government officials and religious authorities who organize the event estimate that 15 million people showed up on Tuesday, the opening day.
In a world so dominated by pagan unholy spectacle. It is nice to see such a large group of people gathered around for something so pure.
But some women among them found paths to freedom, hiding messages in the pleats of their skirts or even in their braids.
Braids and Beads in hair can be a great source of Joy and liberation for some. This is because in such a controlling time, what you do do your hair is one of the few choices you can make
So, too, was their religion
Religion is a major factor in many African American inspired music. This can be linked back to the day of the platoon were God was all they had

Proponents of slavery in particular during the 19th century used "race" to justify the retention of slavery
The Europeans needed Race to be a big factor in order to keep their ideals and get free labor. They want to believe "All men are created equal" but didn't want the responsibility that came with it
Today scholars in many fields argue that "race" as it is understood in the United States of America was a social mechanism invented during the 18th century to refer to those populations brought together in colonial America:
The definition of race has changed a lot overtime. Today in the US it is used socially. People have great pride in their race today and has became a big part of American culture.
During World War II, the Nazis under Adolf Hitler enjoined the expanded ideology of "race" and "racial" differences and took them to a logical end: the extermination of 11 million people of "inferior races" (e.g., Jews, Gypsies, Africans, homosexuals, and so forth) and other unspeakable brutalities of the Holocaust.
Hitler was one of the best of using race and ethnicity to control people. He prayed on peoples fears of "the others" and used them as a scapegoat.

“There is no evidence that early-implanted children will do better at acquiring English than they would with noninvasive aids or with no aids whatever,” a position paper that he co-wrote for the National Association of the Deaf in 1991 said.

School environment was sterile, impersonal and rigid, with a major emphasis on discipline and punishment, which is deeply resented by the students.
The school system is was just as broken back then as it is now. The schools focus too much on discipline and asserting power over its students rather then help and teach them
And for decades, there were reports that students in the boarding schools were abused. Children were beaten, malnourished and forced to do heavy labor
Kid were being abused for a long time with no one to help them. This is not because people are bad in nature rather corrupted by the profit motive.
Noting the increased ethnic diversity in the United States and other advanced countries due to rising immigration, Putnam said the consequence in the short run was reduced social solidarity

Even people who don't fit the exact mold we see an American as still want to protect the country

Although America may have started as a Christian country that is Cleary not the case anymore
“If America changes to the point that it is no longer a Christian nation and no longer protects itself from aliens who come and go,” Greenwood said in 2010, “then it won’t be America anymore
Some people believe that we won't have America anymore if we let the immigration change our country from a Christian God fearing country
Such a severe penalty is unusual. In a majority of rich democracies, single mothers are not more likely to be poor.
Penalties like this do not help and just further contribute to the problem.
The reality, however, is that single motherhood is not the reason we have unusually high poverty in the United States, compared with other rich democracies.
Single motherhood isn't the case of poverty in the US contrary to what some politicians want you to believe.
Even if they all married or never had children, poverty would not be substantially lower
The problem isn't even single motherhood itself, more like the system itself, only protecting those on top
