There are many things that define American popular culture. Whether that be Disney, Batman, etc. When thinking of American culture many people tend to focus on the negative aspects such as the racism, sexism, and homophobia we must face each day.

I learned all about the history of the Holocaust and even went to visit the museum in New York City. During that trip, I also saw the production “The Lion King.” I enjoyed it immensely with my peers, and we even were allowed back stage!

People who are born into deprived environments, or end up in one, have two options. They can either allow themselves to be controlled by it, or they can be the ones who exert the control.
