In Response to Bryan

"Do you believe that our society often forgets about the positive aspects of our world? Explain. "

I agree that society presents more negative views and news about America than anything else. It seems that they think that is what people are interested in and want to know. Though these things may be true and are happening, we shouldn't just avoid or ignore the good things that are out there too. The good aspects of our world and our society are what keep us going as a whole if not as individuals towards a hopeful future for what our country can bring us. Of course America has problems but who's to say we can't try and be optimistic about them and strive for something better? If we push and challenge what comes out of society we can find alternatives to the problems we come to face all the time. And if it's not something you know or have strong feelings for, leave it alone and let others who have better knowledge of it voice their opinions. Because like Bryan mentioned, people who comment on subjects they don't really know anything about, end up causing more problems and are just adding to them instead of learning about the problems and trying to change them. It's like if you vote for a certain candidate to be president and then get upset when they make a mistake or fail to meet your wants as president of the country. Don't get upset because you made your choice. Either deal with your decision, or next time learn more about the person or just don't vote at all. We can't ignore or forget there are problems in the world but even more importantly we can't forget that there is good in the world too and society should turn a little more attention to that.

Do you think there is hope that our country will ever realize its mistakes?
