The United
States education system is problematic. Compared to most of the world, our
education lacks the need to generate students into members of society. Students
accumulate debt in their adult years that puts them at a disadvantage when
entering the field of work. Our country’s focus is complicated and about profit
rather than creating a population of innovators. Lobbyists pose the biggest
threat. Corporations run this country. They can make the government sway in the
direction feeding their money hungry interests. 1 percent of this country owns
the remaining 99 percent. Our national debt can almost be wiped out if these 1
percenters paid higher taxes. We no longer have an upper, middle, and lower
class system. Our society has become one that is the upper and remaining lower
class system. The issues will diminish if we break the systematic chain that
the upper class (1 percent) has created.
Politics is
the root of evil in the United States of America. War is a part of all the
agendas of our country’s political system. Every war spreads democracy, brings
resources, and spreads our western beliefs. War also brings death, chaos, and
poverty to countries that we pillage. We lack accountability for these
tremendous acts of greed. Our country now feels wrath amongst its own people
and we have our US government to thank for that. We can only bring change
through deconstruction of our government. We must start all over from scratch
and build together a system that embodies every voice to be heard, and for a
government that represents the people and not the interests of one group of
individuals.
