Struggle to be an All American Girl

Children of any culture can find it difficult to relate to their parents on what may be the best for them. Parents historically seem pushy and are almost like aliens to children. They have such vast differences in their likings and personalities.

Children may also feel a disconnect to their parents' background and cultural differences, especially on a melting pot area. Their friends don't seem culturally similar to their parents.

Children can learn from their parents' experiences better by being more open minded. Their parents could also be more understanding of their youth and try to make their stories more interesting.

Without commercials inspired poem

You are you
You are a person
With thoughts and mind

You are not
A color of skin
Nor a gender

You are not
To be generalized
By anyone

You are you
With your uniqueness
You flourish

Like every other
Human being
You are one

Let America be America Again by Langston Hughes

People can take photographs or videos of injustice in action and submit it to the press for publicity. The power of actually seeing something can be enough to provoke change. Another weapon could be to take an interview of someone who has experienced the injustice. Describe it in vivid detail and submit it to the press. People will then get the in depth review on it.
