What a world we live in 06.05.2020

Wow..what a world we live in right now. As if the world isn’t in a tough spot already, we are still in the process of fighting as pandemic as in CA alone there are over 110,000 case of COVID 19 ( as of 06.05.2020) and in North America those cases total almost 2 million at 1.91 million! Yeah, its still around unfortunately but right now there is another issue at the for front. The hundreds of Riots from Protestors due to the unjust death of George Floyd in Minnesota. Yes, racism of any kind is intolerable and although was have moved past a lot of it from the decades in the past there are still reminders that this is an ongoing battle that needs to be dealt with. How the current trend is in the last few weeks is NOT how it should be handled. Listen, I get that sometime to get people attention you need to kick and scream. This is who children; babies get the attention of adults around them and yes, it is somewhat effective if you let them think that.

No I’m not saying that you should ignore your child’s plead; I am saying that children do this because they don’t know any better until they are educated and learn from people willing to teach them in a constructive environment. These people that are part of the riots right now are quite frankly acting Childish!

I get the value of protesting and being involved in walking for  cause as I have done before, but to riot and cause a wake of destruction just to prove a point is beyond me…People please calm down, we are all in a difficult situation with the economy going down the drain, COVID 19 on the rampage, and uncertainly in the future. I get that it could be a mix feeling of anger, frustration, and tension that pushed everything over the breaking point as that are trapped in these trying times.

How it is executed though it beyond be, rioting, vandalism, looting, etc the world is not a video game! On top all of this because the rioting is causing an uproar there are a lot of people that are looting using his whole ordeal as a cover. Not to mention everyone that has been part of these riots may also end up adding more to the pandemic that is out and about!!

How to I feel about this whole event is that racism is still a problem and that I believe it’s up to the household and education system to change these ideals. With the emphasis on the education system because children will spend a lot of their time growing and learning in the schools; by extension that is what they will grow up with. Therefore, if the education system does not teach or develop behaviors against racism, bullying, gender equality or the LGBT community then the next wave of people in the society will take that into their household. This leads me to my next point in the household traits are developed and further ingrained into the child. If a generation grows up with lack of understanding and exposure, they will continue to spread those beliefs to the next generation. The education system is/should be the gap stop for these differences. I will also add that for the educations system gets a lot of flack for not doing much, but the reality is they are fighting with governments to get funding as well as try to meet the needs of many families with various levels of educations, income, and demographic.

Therefore, I feel as though we notice what is present directly in front of us. Much like a child teasing their sibling only to not get what they want so they start crying. Then moment you are blamed for making your younger sibling cry, when with context, your little brother or sister was vexing you; having done nothing to harms them. I believe we, the people, should learn to understand the whole issue is a way that minimize the response overall.

Just like in the example of being blames for you younger siblings outburst, the persons calling the issue may simply put two and two together say that there would be no logical reason for the child to cry unless their old sibling was around them and hurt them right? This isn’t necessarily a bad, as a parent might be busy, therefore must call the shots quickly in order to get back to their own duties in society.

However, in the real world jumping to conclusion is weight far more than simply blaming someone, Therefore, as it starts with children and how small thing issue happen that are simply ignored, I believe its those small issue that can become something problematic in the future if we do not take the time to develop a way to promote conversation and reasoning without the need of violence.

With the efforts from Martin Luther King Jr and Gandhi paving the way for peace protest; why do we need to push ourselves to riots and cause a wreck of everything? I get that sometime action solve issue quickly, but just like corporal punishment was shown to increase stress and anxiety for children ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3447048/) not to say this is always the case rather a higher chance of aggressive behavior adults that would rather solve problems with physical contract than talking it out.

Further, People are still also working or setting for work during these difficult times. Raiding and looting stores where people work doesn’t help the cause any more than regular breaking in and entering. Some people need to think rationally about the situation at hand. Everyone is affected someway, and no one needs to be singled out; isn’t that exactly what happen between Floyd and the police officer who blatantly singled him out in the first place.

So what about now?

The currently new social news is that Disneyland is supposed to open up in about 1 month ( July 15^th). I feel that this event will become something of a blurb in history. Because we are currently still in the pandemic. It might not be in the news as much because of the recent sheer volume of other events that have taken place. Even so the issues remain present; so much so that I believe we need to reassess how we as a society is going to move forward.

As with all the concerns,  many people are either out of job, working from home, or working in the front line of duty to  what it “ suicide” in a sense, these essential workers are people that are needed for the flow of the basic human necessities people such as nurses, grocery workers, and various contractors, or the police force. One major point that is glaringly obvious is that our healthcare system needs work. Time and time again we have massaged, manipulated, and revamped the healthcare systems. Honestly, I think we really need to see the healthcare system as a necessity meaning those people that are working in the field like doctors, surgeons, nurses, even the custodian and cafeteria worker need to be praised for their contributions. Also, our healthcare revolves too much around paying for healthcare, where I mean by that are the “tiers” of healthcare and what not. I believe that people should have access to free healthcare such as water founds at the public park. People with preexisting medical conditions should be expected to pay a more, but not a crazy amount. There bronze, gold, silver, and platinum yeah make sense on paper and yet it takes away from something important; Everyone needs some kind of healthcare yes, it will make the career more competitive and we will need more doctors and nurses. The goal is to increase the amount of health care officials to that people do not have to overthink about going to the doctors, I mean for myself I hardly went to the doctors not to say that I didn’t like the primary care doctor rather the whole ordeal of finding one that fit my budget, see the price tier, and finding time off of work (I will get on this later) was rather a frivolous exercise of patience and battle of time. With at the very least a basic free universal healthcare people can stop worrying about something else and focus on working. If anything should we include basic universal healthcare I believe the people should have regular checkups and if you are health individual with low medical needs you should get a tax break likewise if you have to go to the doctors a lot more often due to conditions it will be part of the free healthcare system and should not affect you with cost, rather lower or no tax breaks; Meaning their should be a dynamic threshold of time a person should visit the doctors/hospital. People need to meet a certain number of visits or routines. If they are under or over less of a tax break and the scale slides as the conditions change per person. This will bring up the amount of healthcare offices, but also minimize the people with basic needs to those who need to seek medical attention immediately thus spreading out the demand spikes.
