In comparison to the 1840’s the American society has changed a lot as it has evolved to have much less prejudice and anger against people of other races. Today's society still has a lot of problems as far as cons, violence, and racism are concerned but a lot of the main points from the 1840’s have been resolved only leaving scars or scabs in their wake. One of the most notable acts of racism recently was the Donald Glover incident. In society today we strive to pass the age of racism and violence alongside scams and cons though this is only something that can be done over time as wounds of society heals.

The privatization of health care has limited many Americans to have access to it and should be a violation to a person’s constitutional right for the pursuit of happiness. If one cannot simply afford health care they are being denied their right to happiness.
