What do you think is wrong with the world today? How do you cope with it?

                I think that this world is too caught up with defending “liberty + justice” in such a way that the original motives for fighting are forgotten.

People also tend to jump on bandwangons. They choose a view and stick with it without knowing all the facts, but rather because it is the

viewpoint of the masses. There is a cynical view of the government, that believes that it is corrupt or distrustful. This has a large part to do with

the media and its portrayal of world events. To cope, I form my own opinions using information from many different sources.

                Also, I think that stereotyping is a big problem. The belief that all Rap music is distasteful + unartistic is completely unfounded and

ignorant. Racist stereotypes are also a large problem, but this has been a problem for a long extent of time, and I don’t think it will change

anytime soon.
