What Do I Stand For?
I go on Facebook constantly on a daily basis for all sort of things such as socializing with friends, scrolling down the news feed to see what my friends share or like, and to keep up with the current events. So I have a wide range of knowledge in different types of posts people share with the viewers.
Lately, I have been seeing several posts about the Syrian Refugee Crisis and Bernie Sanders. Posts on Syrian refugees are showing how difficult is it for families to flee from war. On the other hand, posts on Bernie Sanders are trying to attract young voters to vote for him. In addition, there are some posts on Donald Trump as well.
There is one post that I strongly disagree is having Donald Trump as the next U.S president. There was a mini debate over whether Donald Trump should be the next president or not. To be honest, I hate Donald Trump because of his plans if he is elected. He does not deserve to be the president of the United States. I do not like the fact that he thinks it is okay to ban all Muslims just because terrorism is associated with Muslims. I do not understand what is the point of having him as the president if he is going to discriminate other people based on religion, sexual orientation, age, gender, or ethnicity. I am quite offended by how he treats people with disabilities. It is like a slap in the face when I keep hearing news about Donald Trump treating disabled people in a disrespectful way. It just shows that Donald Trump is ignorant when it comes people living in the United States. Therefore, I do not support this presidential candidate at all.

Secondly, when I was reading about the Syrian refugee crisis, I feel that the US government is not doing enough to help Syrians who want nothing but peace. I feel sorry for them the fact that they have to go through traumatic experiences being in the middle of the war. I cannot believe that the United States, a leading world power, would reject Syrians from entering the country. It is absurd if you think about it. It is like depriving them the right to have a peaceful home.

I never really shared or liked posts on current events, but I often talk to my friends on Facebook Chat about current events. Donald Trump is the main topic that I talk to people about just simply because I do not see him being a great leader at all, though he may be a successful businessman.
The biggest concern I have is college tuition. Nowadays, college tuition is ridiculously expensive. Even with financial aid from Federal government is not sufficient to fully cover the whole college tuition costs for private colleges. Typically, private college tuition costs around $40k which I still find it hard to believe. Honestly, college tuition is scaring me because next year I'm going to college and I'm thinking like how am I supposed to pay for my education. I do not plan on making myself going in debt when I graduate from college, which means I do not want to take on loans. Hence, college costs are stressing me out. I personally wish that there are some laws making college education more affordable or free for everybody. I truly believe that financial debt would definitely ruin the dream of doing something they want to do.
I completely agree with everything you have written here.
ReplyDeleteSpecifically about Donald Trump, though, it horrifies me that there are a LOT of people who actually listen and believe what he says. It honestly makes me fear for our country. I see a lot of people making fun of the things he says, and it is in fact very easy to laugh at his comments and funny hair. I remember in one of the debates we had this year in government, the person "playing" Donald Trump made the entire class practically double over laughing because of how stupid they were making him sound. Yet, when you consider that the "ridiculous" statements were actually being said by an actual political figure who is ACTUALLY RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, the laughter almost immediately fades from my face. He is completely out of line. He seems to be spewing radical ideas that are based on almost nothing. I sincerely hope that the people of the US will find enough sense within themselves to see that if he does become president, it will be the ruin of us all.
I agree with your stance on Donald Trump. His ignorance will only lead the country into turmoil and I do not understand how he has so many supporters.
