Why the United States Joined WWI

The United States joined WWI in 1917

An example of an introduction

World War One officially started in Europe in 1914. For the first time ever the world was a war. Before 1914 most wars were between countries sharing borders. No longer was that to be true. Then. Now. Future.

Because of the outcome of WWI, the United States became the most powerful military the world has ever known.

The United States came into the war three years after it had started in 1917.

Has the U.S. Moved On From Racism?

I believe the U.S. is (not) colorblind due to the fact that in airports people are racially categorized

• Jocelyne - Republicans/Congress are against undocumented immigrants; people often times are incarcerated for minor offenses (i.e. vagrancy or homelessness)
• Princess: very few families discuss racism. As a matter of fact only 37% of families talk openly about race, which makes racial discussions uncomfortable to millennials. 
• Ruben: racism still exists in the U.S. today because only 44% of African-American families own homes versus 73% of white families. In other words, if the U.S. was truly a colorblind society those percentages would be more equal.
• African-Americans die four years earlier than whites; neighborhoods/homes; lower income, healthcare; income security; low-income housing and gang violence; healthy vs unhealthy foods depending on where one lives; 
• Mariela: stress because of income security
• Sahara; stress emotions; stressed-out; suicidal
