January 6, 2021
On January 6th 2021, a hostile takeover of the Democratic process was attempted by staunch supporters of the President of the United States, Donald Trump. The attempted coup was not just antagonized that day, it was built over 5 years of hateful and aggressive rhetoric that fed into the vulnerabilities of a segment of America that believes that the rights afforded by the constitution are only for them and people that look like them. Stoked by President who is nothing more than an opportunist, who tapped into these vulnerabilities and exploited them for his own personal gain.

The Appropriation of Facts
In the recent months there has been a growing, dangerous trend, named many things and, most importantly, disagreed upon to the extent of violence and mortality. As we breached the information age and attained a worldwide achievement in the form of global connectivity and communication, there is an increasing realization that the average individual is not prepared for the sheer amount of information being shoveled at them. In many ways, this is expected. It was a common belief that the average working class individual was either incapable or unwilling to be responsible for worldly knowledge; such a “curse” was befit to the clergy and, later on, the aristocrat. Many times, they became indistinguishable. Depending upon the current fad.

Chapter Two
Chapter 2 Notes (continued) In the 1800's 'Workhouses' were around that were residential and with a contract with private citizens to provide food and clothes people got to work for what they had. This brought up the idea of 'Indentured servant 'servitude' system- Five to seven people total worked their way to the colonies for food, clothing, shelter, and medical care. Sponsers were gained to get to colony and this is equal to slavery in the Southern colonies.

Could the people or will they loose control in use of the commodities or CASH? There is Conflict which is enabling people to do it themselves or is it just giving the commodities or CASH to them? Should we help and lead to a dependency on a program.
