While most Syrian refugees aren't threats, there is a higher possibility of their being some bad apples than if they decrease the number of refugees being allowed in. The Syrian people wouldn't even have to be leaving their country if the war there would stop but the war shows no signs of slowing down and I believe that the United States should do more in restoring peace in Syria because they shouldn't have to leave their country to survive. So this is the problem that is current right now and could still be in 15 years because the choice is to not allow all of the refugees in and leave them in a war zone or let them in and then create a risk for your own people even though most refugees pose no threat.]]> 2017-10-25 22:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/200636428 ag134465 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/200636916 The ¨marker event¨ that will continue to have the biggest effect upon my life or around the world is the use of social media, because right now is just the beginning of social media, and i believe in 15 years, there is going to be something related to social media that is going to be used by everyone

Thing is, we already are so needy of technology that it's everywhere and used in everything. For example Smart toilets?!?!?!?!?!? It's kinda lit but, really now?! Movies and Television shows about future technology failing scares me the most because this could be possible, and our technology isn't far from it. Another example is in the movie GeoStorm, the weather controlling device was such a great idea, but it was easily controlled and used for bad. In the Netflix series Black Mirror, there was an episode about humans making fake bees to continue pollination, but it was easily hacked and was a swarm of mental murders controlled from a computer. Though this is off topic, I just wanted to state that technology is risky to fully depend on. So knowing this in 15 years i feel like it will be even worse, i don't know if humans will even be humans anymore even after 15 years, so devoted to technology and needy of it. It comes to the point where people can't even do one plus one in their heads anymore. Though I am a hypocrite and a part of this society , I don't like the direction it is pushing toward. Advancement in this world is an Addiction.]]> 2017-10-26 05:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/200684281 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/200836504 The marker event that will have a effect on my life is the Black/All lives matter movement going on right now. I believe it will have the greatest impact on me because, right now all the police brutality going on against minorities(mainly African Americans) is causing a sense of fear to not just only me, but all the other Hispanics, Asians, and African Americans living in this very country. It makes us minorities question ourselves "Are we really safe in this country?". However, in 15 years I predict that this movement will positively affect us as a country, and minorities. It will positively affect our country by having less internal conflicts to deal with, and it will positively affect minorities by reassuring us that the people who are suppose to protect us, aren't hurting us because of our racial profile.]]> 2017-10-26 14:29:43 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/200836504 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/200918328 The market event that will still have an effect on my life and all lives in 15 years is terrorism acts such as 9/11 and the Paris bombing in August of this year. I think it will still have a great impact because no matter how many years pass and no matter how much we wish it wasn’t so there will always be terrorist Groups in the world and there will be casualties for the people they are aiming for. It inflicts sadness on those affected and those we hear about it or witness these terrorist acts. All countries should try to make peace with each other so we can all feel safe and not afraid of threats but that will take alot  longer then 15 years to happen , if ever .]]> 2017-10-26 16:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/200918328 ac387490 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/201012648 A big thing that I think will forever be a big deal in my life time, hopefully not the future of the future generations is, Neo-Nationalism. I believe there will always be people that think their race is better than someone else's because of their race. There will always be those crazy people that go all out to show that they're are better than everybody else. There are many groups such as KKK, that will be around for a long time. Parents that believe in that will teach their kids to think that way and teach their kids to spread it on and on through the generations. The kids will probably believe all of the things they are told because its what they've heard all of their life. This world really does need to spread love and peace. If the world is this cruel right now, I have no imagination of what its going to be like for my future kids. ]]> 2017-10-26 19:51:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/201012648 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/201353489 I think something that is going to effect me even 15 years from now is Neo-Nationalism because people who believe in those values are against everything I stand for. Whether it's my religion, my choice of friends (colored, LGBTQ+ etc) or anything else. They pose a threat to everything America stands for and what the rest of the world stands for. That's why i believe it not only impacts me now and probably will forever, it affects the rest of the world too. ]]> 2017-10-27 20:14:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/201353489 hg434447 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/205504934 Something big that will affect me 15 years from now is the world of social media. This generation of people are addicted to social media and it's already taken a toll on us. It distracts us from working on our educations or enjoying moments for ourselves. I fear that later on in life the use of social media will only increase.]]> 2017-11-09 20:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/205504934 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/205518640 A marker event that has happened that will forever have an effect on my life is the mass shootings and acts of terrorism that have happened in our world in the past 25 years. Its so upsetting and horrible that someone could easily get control of a gun and do something so terrible like the Las Vegas shooting where so many people were killed. I think this is going to still affect me in 15 years, because these things are still going on and I personally feel like our country isn't doing enough to enforce gun laws and so these horrible acts are going to keep happening. ]]> 2017-11-09 21:37:16 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/205518640 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/205573071 A marker event that will change the world in 15 years would be Kim Jong Un coming to power of North Korea by creating tensions between countries like North Korea and the U.S. The reason why I say so is because there are rising tensions between the two nations and could possibly end in a nuclear war or maybe even a new world war due to many alliances of the U.S and North Korea's dictatorship. ]]> 2017-11-10 04:25:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/205573071 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/205825237 A marker event that will change the world in 15 years would be the sexual harassment in the hollywood industry. More people in future will be exposed, arrested, and no more tolerance for sexual harassment. People will no longer stay silent, especially with media, and people will be accounted for their actions. ]]> 2017-11-10 20:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/205825237 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/205825894 An event that will change the world in 15 years is the election of Donald Trump into presidency. Though no longer recent as of 2017, Trump's election really opened the doors to a concealed problem in America: Racism.

The reason many people are against it is that it offers abortions, but what they don't realize is that it's more than that. It offers Pap tests, breast exams, tests and treatments for STDs and STIs, and sexual/reproductive education. This all comes at a low cost. Without this many families would struggle to find affordable care that isn't too far away.]]> 2017-11-15 00:11:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/207010171 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/209287221 In 15 years I feel like North Korea will declare some sort of war against us and America will be some-what destroyed and I will have to pay tax dollars for repairs.]]> 2017-11-21 22:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/209287221 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/209960454 An event that will change the world in 15 years is the rising tensions between the U.S and North Korea. If Donald Trump proceeds to threaten north korea and vice versa the threat of a nuclear war will ultimately become a reality due to Kim Jong Uns strong hold against his country and donald trumps lack of filter. ]]> 2017-11-24 17:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/209960454 jm434453 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/209966998 In 15 years i believe the biggest marker event that will leave a lasting impact is the fight against inequality. Inequality such as racism, sexism, homophobia, islamphobia, and so many other forms of discrimination. Through the last couple years, our generation has had the opportunity to witness an uprising. The black lives matter movement fights injustices towards African-American people, specifically the disturbing injustices of white cops gunning down innocent black men. The woman's march saw women and men of all different ethnicity, races, religions, sexuality, etc come together to stand up for the right woman deserve, and to show a stand of solidarity against the current political administration. As our generation gets older we will be able to take a stand in the long fight against inequality. ]]> 2017-11-24 18:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/209966998 sb134583 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/209995566 In 15 years I feel like tragedies in general would still have an impact on me, such as family members death, and unstable situations because in a way our environment is what makes our mindsets change to figure out who we are. Therefore if you have many tragedies in your live , it influences you to either keep pushing or give up , which is why i chose tragedies because anybody can be going through stress , even right now and in 15 years it still will.]]> 2017-11-25 02:23:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/209995566 vo395694 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/210083848 An event that will change the world in 15 years is the growing tension between North Korea and the U.S. Even though there are many jokes about it and some people might not really take it serious this is something that could turn into a war and be a very big issue. If the tension keeps growing like this at some point there is a very real possibility that a war would be declared and that would greatly affect the entire world.]]> 2017-11-25 23:07:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/210083848 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/211625045 I think a prominent issue in America right now has to do with US citizens fighting each other and not getting along. This has a lot to do with our government officials too. When your government isn´t functioning the way it should with it´s people, issues arise. I do think this will still be a large issue in 15 years because once such a large dispute (like so) starts, it´s hard to make it die down in a fast amount of time. ]]> 2017-11-29 20:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/211625045 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/213151631 2017-12-05 05:14:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/213151631 https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/213541344 I believe that in leading up to 15 years from now, the use of electronics as a means of communication will pose an ever growing threat to true human interaction. While they provide a much quicker way to exchange ideals, they also rid of any emotional attachment to the subjects or the recipients. This leads me to conclude that we soon will be less emotionally inclined during conversations, leading to a lessened sense of urgency in terms of the happiness and prosperity of others from the viewpoint of a sender.]]> 2017-12-05 23:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/tlmillercook/ns2eznfjyoef/wish/213541344
