While the American standard is that everyone should at least have some college education in order to have a decently-paying job, it is difficult to achieve that level. College tuition is extremely high, making it hard for those who live on low incomes to even begin to think about going to school. More often than not, college students will leave in debt that they will be paying off for the rest of their lives.

Children, especially in the North Shore and areas like it, have extremely high expectations concerning activities and work, mainly school work and sports. Parents enroll their children in soccer teams, tennis lessons, and dance classes before they're even in second grade. In high school, it seems as though everyone participates in at least one club and school sport, if they're not involved in outside activities. It's common for teenagers to stay up until the early hours of the morning to finish their homework because they have no free time to do so during the day.

Equality for all genders and sexualities has been a long and endless fight. Though same-sex marriage has been declared legal in all 50 states, some of the simplest things like LGBTQ+ portrayals in popular media still have a long way to go until equality is achieved. Gay men are consistently portrayed as flamboyant, highly sexual, and almost always have the same physical appearance. Gay women are often put in villainous roles. Bisexual and pansexual people are hardly every portrayed, or their sexualities are never explicitly stated. Additionally, LGBTQ+ actors are often overlooked to play roles that match their gender and sexual identity (e.g. a straight, cisgender male is cast in the role of a transgender woman).

Though the United States might be the "Land of the Free," this is only true for the straight, white male. Any other race is discriminated against, especially African-Americans. Prisons consist of mostly black people, and black men and boys are 3.5 times as likely to be killed by police than white men.
