During this 100-year period, the United States emerged as one of the world's most powerful and wealthy nations. Some have even referred to the United States as a modern day empire similar to that of Ancient Rome.

  • Terrorism threatens the United States before domestically (from within the country) and from abroad.
  • Growing inequality between rich and poor. 
  • Environmental threats like pollution and global warming. 
  • Dependence on goods and products from overseas rather than producing them in the United States. 
  • Leaders who represent the rich rather than all citizens.
  • Racially motivated killings of unarmed minorities by the police.
  • The country is increasingly divided with citizens from both sides unwilling to negotiate and compromise with those they disagree with.

This is causing death, riots, fighting and such other. It’s breaking each other apart. This is an example of inequality. Skin color is affecting the country itself because there are innocent people getting killed for no reason. -Fahmida ]]> 2021-05-04 16:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ebuonocore1/87u2wexhphk1oqw1/wish/1490635462 mustapha https://padlet.com/ebuonocore1/87u2wexhphk1oqw1/wish/1490656362
  • Racially motivated killings of unarmed minorities by the police.i think this because this is what is deviding poeple in america because people are being killed for no reason and we want that to stop and us not being on t he samem level of thinking is ultimately what will drive america to the ground because that also connects to politics.

    I believe that this is the main reason why the U.S will fail as a leader. This is because the police are killing innocent colored people who are unarmed for no reason and now riots and multiple protests also future voters who care about our community and will not gonna vote for the government/president… This will create domestic chaos.]]>     2021-06-02 20:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ebuonocore1/87u2wexhphk1oqw1/wish/1580689766
