Civic Writing

Some say that America is a melting pot, others argue that it isnt. I say that it is a bunch of isolated indgredients going with the familiar. Sometimes you have to go outside comfort zone to do something positive. Many people now are so preoccupied of what others think of them than what they, or the people important to them, think of them. I admit I was like that before. Not anymore. Sometimes it gets to me but then I think of the people whose opinion mean the world to me. People are so caught up now that a little negative remark from a stranger depresses them. You just got to learn to live how to fight the negative so that it becomes a positive and maintain the positive within you. As they say, "Change the things you can and accept the things you cannot." My point is to experience new things like getting to know people who are different. Every generation is getting closer to ending segregation. All our generation has to do is one small thing and it could change the whole course of future generations.
