America is one of the few countries in the world which allows their people to carry guns, under the right circumstances ofcourse and only if it is used for self-protection.

It is no coincidence that the United States also loses roughly a hundred citizens a day due to to use of guns. It is getting out of control. Gun violence has lead to an emotional speech Obama gave during the time he was President of the United States, which oyu can find at the bottom of this article. Donald Trump insisted on giving every teacher a gun at schools to prevent gun violence, which is obviously the wrong way to go.

All though a lot of people see the guns as a part of the American culture, it has not been beneficial for the people of the United States. Because of these guns nealry 40.000 people a year die because of gun violence.  this raises the question if it would not be a better idea to take control over the gun distribution. The homocide rate in the United States is much higher than in any other country in which guns are forbidden and illegal.

It is time that Donald Trump sees the light and realises that guns is not the way to move forward and protect the p

We all know Americans thrive on being the best country in the world. They also like to show this to the world, which often results in spectacular sporting events, like the NBA All-Star Game. This is a typical American thing to do, no other country in the world would be able to create such a massive event.

The NBA All-Star Game is an anually scheduled game which includes only the best of the best players in the National Basketball Association. I think this is a typical American thing to do, like the Superbowl. They only want to see the best of the best. Most people who watch this game don't even care about the result of the game, they crave the spectacular plays and the entertainment around this astonishing event.

The NBA decided to make a All-Star weekend, so it is not just one game, it is an entire weekend filled with the most rediculous games and matches, with amazing preformances from people like J. Cole. The All-Star Game has to captains, which are voted by the fans, players and coaches and analysts from the eastern and western conference. These to players pick the players which they want to play with. These players are also voted for by the people I just mentioned. It is truly a wonderful spectacle to see.

Vegas is one of the most iconic american cities in the world and like a theme park for adults. It's is a city where time is often forgotten. there are endless activities which you can to in this wonderful city.  The prime attraction this city has to offer is ofcourse the Casinos, gambling. Gambling is what it's all about. The thrill and excitement people get from gambling is the reason why people go there. And ofcourse the non-stop entertainment. But this gambling brings also with it a negative side. Ofcourse it is all very good for the economy, but the increase in poverty is something which can not be overlooked. For many people gambling has become an addiction. This addiction eventually results in people selling everything they have and spending more than they actually own in these casinos. The ultimate consequence of gambling is that people become homeless. This resulted in the fact that the people which literally spent their last penny end up on the streets, where do they go? The drainage Tunnels, because here they at least have a roof over their heads.

Everyone who has never visited Vegas has the urge to visit it after seeing the city in a movie, but it is nog all glamour and partying. There is also an ugly side to this city, which should not be overlooked

During on of our workshops we discussed the #BlackLivesMatter movement, this movement stands up against racial inequality and police violence. When we were talking about it, it started to think about the Ku Klux clan, which is a massive part in the racism in the USA.

The Ku Klux Klan is a mix of different secret organisations in the United States which is wel known for their extreme violence against the black society. It is obvious to say that every member of the Ku Klux Klan is white, they are best referred to as a white supremacist hate group. The first clan was founded in 1865. The picture underneath this text shows you how they were dressed, it was very iconic and easy to spot. They wore these customes when they planned to attack a certain African-American leaders.

During this day and age the KKK has become more of a mythe in the society. Often during cases which includes racism there is often referred to the Ku Klux Klan, but in now-a-days you'll never see someone walk across the street in these kinds of uniforms. But still everyone in the world knows what the KKK is, stands for and how they look. It is a good thing that clans are unable to show their racial preferences to the world like that anymore.
