The current US road system is heavily reliant on cars and trucks. Walking places isn't a option for many people who live in large suburbs as shops, services, and other buildings are too far away. The only type of public transport that is common in most cities are busses and maybe a metro or tram system. Rethinking the US road layout is especially important now with the current trucker shortage in the US. The transportation of freight and goods in the US is incredibly dependent on trucks and the interstate system, which was chosen over a better US railroad system because of lobbying by car companies in the 50s. -Vincent Luc]]> 2021-11-10 17:04:29 UTC https://padlet.com/claudiachoi/r37b33517bcty71f/wish/1881912642 japmer000 https://padlet.com/claudiachoi/r37b33517bcty71f/wish/1882369158 One thing I would change is racism.

The current situation of Racism shows that even to this day, people are being discriminated because of their skin color/ethnicity. Some of the current movements like Black Lives Matter and Stop AAPI Hate, proves that present day racism gets out of hand because of the number of discriminative incidents towards certain people. For example, an officer brutally kneeled on George Floyd's neck in a arrest of suspecting Floyd of using a counterfeit $20 bill at a store, a act of police brutality and racism.

Currently there are more than 400,000 kids in foster care, that means that there are 400,000 kids without a support system, stable household, and the feeling of belonging. I want to see change in the foster care system / cps because when these kids are abused and neglected when they grow up they become what they were treated like and the cycle continues.

Racism is one of the bigger problems in this world. It is one of the reasons why the world is divided and unequal. Throughout my life, I experienced many situations where me and my family or other people were judged because of our skin color. One situation happened when we were walking past a person while trying to get back to our hotel room. He started yelling racial slurs at my dad and words that I don't want to talk about here. Although this was already bad, this wasn't the first time we came across someone like that. But overall, it makes me angry and disappointed at the people who judge people because of their skin color. Just because people have different skin colors doesn't mean that they are different. It's how good they are at heart that matters...]]> 2021-11-10 20:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/claudiachoi/r37b33517bcty71f/wish/1882384895 jazdem000 https://padlet.com/claudiachoi/r37b33517bcty71f/wish/1882387973 Parental expectations are important to me because I feel like my parents compare me to my brothers, like i should play sports because my brothers do and i should do what they do because they are doing better that me and being reminded that i should ¨do better like your brothers" or ¨be more like your brothers¨.

Some people, unfortunately are incredibly selfish. It could be because they genuinely don't understand other people, or it could be because they choose not to. From my experiences, in High School teenagers naturally make assumptions about me.
In most cases, people who are "introverted", "shy", or "standoffish" have a large personality behind just what they look like. Just because a person doesn't socialize a lot, doesn't mean that they don't want to.

I think if people were to stop and think before they speak, if people were to imagine what it would be like in someone else's shoes, if people were to want to know both sides of a story, the world would be a better place. That's why I think just trying to understand someone before you make assumptions about them is so important. Especially in a world where the fight for equality is half the battle.

From my own experiences, people often make stupid decisions based on their emotions. Many times one second is all it takes for someone to go from making a mistake, to stopping, and looking at the situation before acting on it. The term "think before you speak" is something I think we all take for granted at times. Of course, no one is perfect. We are all human, we all make mistakes, we all go through ups and downs. That's why it's not your mistakes in life that define who you are, but what you do about them.]]> 2021-11-11 00:32:55 UTC https://padlet.com/claudiachoi/r37b33517bcty71f/wish/1882731922 https://padlet.com/claudiachoi/r37b33517bcty71f/wish/1883391139 In my Vietnamese family we have traditions in Vietnam and when my parents immigrated to the US, the traditions stayed. Being born with traditional parents, I tend to have two identities, at home I act a certain way in front of my family and do the things to make me fit into their views. But when I am out, like in school, I tend to be a bit more myself but still try to find a way to worm myself into my role outside of my house of being chill and quiet. With my two identities, I find it hard to figure out my identity as an Asian American. Am I the person who tries to follow their parents expectations or am I the person who quiet with a relaxing demeanor? With these identities I switch them on and off, as quickly as I leave the car when my parents drop me off for school and as I enter my house. -Yvonne Nguyen]]> 2021-11-11 05:57:34 UTC https://padlet.com/claudiachoi/r37b33517bcty71f/wish/1883391139 https://padlet.com/claudiachoi/r37b33517bcty71f/wish/1883579466 An issue I would like to see fixed is drunk driving.

But I know that sometimes when people do that, it feels as if its not even their thoughts, because at one point their just chilling in their room. But the next they are wondering if they made the right choices in life, wondering whether or not to go left or right in life, feeling like they are about to hit their dead end. and for most people they get up and walk out of their room with the thoughts just lingering in their mind, and for others, they cant get rid of it because it follows them wherever they go, and when they want to feel good about themselves but that emptiness inside just keeps growing till they finally hit their dead end on purpose. except they did it because they thought it will finally silence the pain, suffering and silence, but it didn't, and never will because even if they think it silenced their pain, it really just passed it to someone else.-Wyatt Ockwell]]> 2021-11-12 06:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/claudiachoi/r37b33517bcty71f/wish/1886010433 https://padlet.com/claudiachoi/r37b33517bcty71f/wish/1886830382 Sexual harassment is a big issue.

"ugh I'm so jealous of your waist." it puts a lot of pressure to keep that beauty standard regardless of if people are hyping you up or bringing you down everyone has their struggles and to you, you could look at someone and be like that's my ideal body type and to them, they could say the same thing about you while hating their own body. and sometimes people take others' bodies for granted like asking for nudes and to have sexual relations with someone for their own benefit. and feeling like you just wanted because of your body is a really horrible feeling never getting told "you look very pretty today" or "your beautiful" it's just "your ass looked so good today" "show me your tits" its a really horrible feeling to feel like the only reason a guy talks to you is to get in your pants and not to just get to know the real you. feeling like you have to stay fit to meet guys' standards for you and society's standards is so hard to deal with mentally because of how draining it is to be someone who sometimes your really not because you want to impress others.]]> 2021-11-12 18:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/claudiachoi/r37b33517bcty71f/wish/1887223875 natmat000 https://padlet.com/claudiachoi/r37b33517bcty71f/wish/1887634322 Something i really want to see changed is female singer/songwriters being taken seriously especially in rock and roll. when you think of rock and roll you mostly think about white men from the 60-90s beatles, stones, ramones, doors, kinks, zeppelin, guns n roses, greatfull dead, nirvana, pearl jam. there all men. most female artists are pop stars or rappers who have to be overly provocative/attractive for their music to be taken seriously. - Natalie Mattson]]> 2021-11-12 23:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/claudiachoi/r37b33517bcty71f/wish/1887634322 https://padlet.com/claudiachoi/r37b33517bcty71f/wish/1888511716 I believe everyone should have the resources to get a free ride if they are going to go drink somewhere.
