I think we the American people have been conned into believing this is how it should be. That the American dream is a possibility for everyone to be rich and that is just a fat lie. I hope we as a country see the problems with stats like this and make meaningful change within our lifetimes.

I think this part is slowly changing. I think there has been a strive from both genders to push for equality. Also, I can say in my life time while homophobia still exist I think there has been much change since I was a child. I remember back in middle school saying homophobic slurs was not taboo, however today it is a big social no no as it should have been in the past.

I think this view is so pessimistic. Maybe I'm naive but I personally believe that you limit yourself to your ambitions. Such as you can only accomplish what you believe to be possible.

Makes sense when thinking about it. If you create a lie that has no true to it, it might seem outlandish. However, sprinkle some truth to it and people begin to question whether it's true or not.

I couldn't agree more with this. Social media affects our everyday life and I think most people just don't care about it. These apps are designed for each individual user which creates an echo chamber. I think they are much more negative than they are positive.

I personally think it is very scary that such things are possible. I know I will never personally be targeted by some government, but the fact that government officials can be hacked in such manners is worrying for me. I'm curious how often this happens and is kept a secret.

I think that is largely due to the media's portrayal of current events. I remember reading an article some time ago that said the world is the safest it has ever been. Within that same article it explained that media is largely due to people thinking otherwise. Off course this article was before Covid-19.

I can personally relate to this. I built the desk I use and I think the reason I hold is so highly is because I was apart of the process to create it. My desk is not the best looking but I built it and I'm proud of that.

I personally think that is due to the fact that we as a country do not do a good job of teaching finance. I think if some finance courses were required in high school I think this would solve the problem.

It's crazy where hypertext can lead you. One minute you're on Wikipedia learning some interesting fact and the next you're reading about moon landing conspiracy theories. Hypertext totally control how people take in information nowadays.

I think it's no surprise that people that procrastinate are less likely to be able to find information than people who regularly find information.

Reading aloud is seen as taboo nowadays because people will think lesser of you. Children are taught to read aloud so they can learn words, but as adults we stop that because it's embarrassing. I think reading aloud shouldn't be taboo, but instead encouraged just like it is for children.

I think the two party system has failed the American people. People vote simply because their party is up for election. I personally know people that don't take time to learn about who they're voting for, but instead just vote for their "party". Parties shouldn't exist and people should have to learn about who they're voting for.

Not surprised at all after the last elections. People often think their vote doesn't matter and because of that a large percentage of Americans just don't vote what so ever. I think in this particular case isn't a lack of education more so a discouraged population.

I'm somewhat not surprised at all about these statistics. It's quite shameful as a country when a large percentage doesn't even understand how our government works. I think there has to be a large change in what and how high schools teach the American youth.
