    From a young age, girls learn about beauty. They watch their mom’s getting ready, they play with their ‘perfect’ Barbie dolls, and they get a preconception that beauty is the act of being beautiful.

    Beginning with the death of Trayvon Martin in early 2012, the United States has started to acknowledge the way police mistreat citizens, particularly black people. With this “new”, rising topic, which the nation previously turned a blind eye to, people have also started to look at other issues that have disproportionately affected black Americans, such as mass incarceration. Mass incarceration is usually defined as the sharp increase of imprisoned individuals in the last forty years (200,000 in 1972 to 2.2 mil in 2010?). Although the government itself rarely addresses these problems, others have made it their mission to combat these injustices through social media, television, and speeches. Among those who have spoken out against the political mistreatment of black Americans is former First Lady Hillary Clinton.…
