Thats not nice

American culture has been affected by war and violence in homes, especially in the children of our generation. Statistics show that violence has increased over the years and a lot of it seems to be occurring within the family house hold. War also affects the American culture by increasing racism within the country. Depending on what country we are at war with, we lose trust against the people who are from or look like they are from that country. For example, WWII, the Japanese were discriminated against, and not trusted because of the actions that their country had done. War easily breaks trust between people of different cultures or beliefs.

  1. This scares me. It reminds me of New World Order, and FEMA camps. I don't like t he idea of the Government having too much power. Some of this may be based on conspiracy theories, but WHY HAVE THE CAMPS at ALL if they are not intended for some use, and it makes me ask the question, "What are they really for?"

  2. Not everyone is bad, but unfortunately, we categorize people into their ethnicity. We lost trust for the Japs, but obviously not all Japs shouldn't be trusted, yet we don't anyway. Violence affected our trust. LETS STOP THE VIOLENCEEEEEE!

  4. i think racism come for their house and how people talk about the other racism In American the racism come from 9/11 . i think the racism get big in our country because a war or something that happened. But in my opinion think it bad that people would be racism to anyone.

  5. It is weird that government and the fact that people don't trust each other cause a lot of problems and can lead a lot to violence.
