"I've just hit a brick wall on what to talk about."
Well, that was simple enough, as soon as that came out of my mouth I knew what I was going to talk about. Walls.
Here in recent times my social awareness has been lacking. One thing that is difficult to not hear about is the presidential elections. While I have no idea who I support I know who I do not like. I'm not feeling the Bern, not a fan of Hilary's purge mask looking self, and if Trump wins I just don't know what I will do with myself. What we all hear in politics is, you just have to pick the lesser of the two evils.
Okay, so now I'm just ranting, but the point im trying to make is that so many other Americans are truly unaware of whats going on in the world. Because many lack to see it, take the time, or care to understand. In the future there will be people wondering how gay marriage was ever illegal. We are living in history, its important to not let history repeat itself either.
There are people who say we should not allow Syrian refugees in the country, well what if it was their family members? Many people have made connections between the Holocaust refugees and the Syrian refugees, because the reaction of the American people were almost the same in both situations.

Trump has been a huge person to oppose letting these refugees into the country, really anyone. Even though his wife obtained citizenship because she married him. He is so opposed to Hispanic people documented or undocumented he wants to build a wall. He does not care about people building better lives or how they can make this country a better place. Instead he calls them murderers and rapists, he is categorizing the Hispanic people. Just like people have done with the Syrian refugees and the Holocaust. There's good and bad in all kinds of people.
The Berlin wall was constructed for many reasons, but what I think of is their delusional excuse of national security. Sound familiar? Because this is how Trump is able to gain a following, any Hispanic person is a threat to our national security and a breach in the national security would be "Un-American".
Leo Chavez helps us to understand this in his book, The Dream bill is something that has really stuck with me. The Dreamers are standing up for rights so bravely. Everyone deseves a chance, a fair chance.
So, are you socially aware?
