Lately there are so many things going on in America that show how big of a divide we truly have living in this country. The media, of course, is going to play off of our differences just so they can get better ratings. It's sad, but true. What is even more sad is the amount of people who take one or two news channels word for what really happened in an incident or who was behind it, etc. I don't know about you guys, but in a "basic"high school english class, we were taught the importance of getting multiple sources for any paper we wrote, any stance we took, and for any speech we gave.
I know, it can get pretty annoying to go ahead and dig for the truth, especially if you weren't born with a curious mind, but we live in a time where we have to start fact checking every source we read or listen to.
Also, with the wide divide that we are seeing in our beautiful country, it is our duty to stop remaining silent about important issues. It is time for us to put our necks on the line and not be afraid to hurt feelings by standing up for what we believe is right. If we lose friends along the way of trying to dig out the truth, share it, and take a stance on that issue, then who really needed that friend anyway. This is no longer a time when we can let fear hold our tongues. Take a stance, and most importantly, spread truth and love to everyone in America because we all call this amazing country our home.
