I have a mom and a dad and one brother. I think that everyone is shaped by politics in our country. Politics determine what important decisions are made all around the world. The political climate of one’s country help them realize negative and positive things about their country like what needs improvement and what can wait. I specifically think I have been shaped by the political climate of the United States. The political climate have changed the way I think about certain like who should be the 45th president of the United States or how we should deal with social issues all around the world. There are many different opinions on how we should handle certain political issues. In the United States there are two parties that deal with solving political issues, the democrats and republicans. This world is basically surrounded by politics and without a stable government, I would not know where this country would be. One issue that are extremely concerning in the United States is police brutality, especially against black males and females. Blacks in general have been treated unfairly in this world for a very long time and it is really ridiculous. That is why I enjoy seeing athletes taking a stand on issues like that and speaking out. These athletes are some of my and other people’s role models. That is why everyone should speak up on all issues all around the world. It does not matter what color you are. You speaking up

Well I can tell you this, if an officer that is involved with the D.A.R.E. program is trying to show you the impact of a substance, then why do you see them doing that same substance while off duty?
