I decided to follow Donald Trumps juicy tweeter scandals. In the recent presidential debate social media plays  a big role, and who better to follow then the king of tweeter. One particular tweet from D. Trump really stood out to me. “This election is a total sham and travesty. We are not a democracy!” At first my intention was to find a  tweet about him bashing women since that is also such a popular topic amongst media and public opinions. However, when I stumbled upon this tweet I found it really amusing and ironic. Over here a guy who is suggesting to deport all the immigrants and talking about building a wall to block out other countries is talking about how the election isn’t democracy. And the funny thing is I actually agree with him.  Because honestly if this election was a democracy then a man like him would never be able to stand in front of millions of people and say whatever he wants on national TV. Democracy is all about the people, and this guy isn’t someone who should be given the responsibility of being in charge of the people. In Donald Trumps tweet he uses a very immature style of writing. Most of his tweets consists of bashing people and calling them various names. Doesn’t tweeter have a filter to filt out bullies? Donald trump is complaining about how the election is false and mis representation. As much as others want this presidential election to be false and fake, unfortunately every result is real including the fact that Donald Trump is no where near eligible to lead this nation. His tweet about not being a democracy shows that Donald will go to any length in order to prove how he is the destined candidate. Trumps main goal seems to be gain as much attention as he can by throwing tantrums on social media and stating false accusations to make himself look better in front of his supporters. Trump is a true definition of why we have to make America great again ( his slogan) because obviously if America was great a man like him would not be allowed to talk about women, men , children the way he publicly does all the time.  Here to us not being a democracy Donald Trump!

This tweet shows pathos, Donald is trying to urge his followers to agree with him by just bluntly stating something to support himself.  He is attacking the actual electoral system by calling the election fake, indicating the election was rigged or preset. He is trying to make people start questioning the actual result of the American voting system.

Democracy: A government system where the general public decides what is best for the economy. Where people have the greater say.

United States has always prided itself of being a democratic country, who fights for justice not only in side of the nation but also throughout the world. It prides itself of being the country with the most opportunity and the most freedom for its people. Yet the truth is that no matter how great a country is there is always an ugly side to every beautiful story.

Going more specific into one aspect of society is the vague word terrorist. Ever since 9-11 has occurred the entire country has been in this protective shell where every person who resembles a little of track is aligned with terrorism. This fear lead the country of freedom to neglect the public’s privacy and tap into every individuals lives to monitor for any terrorist behaviors with in the country.

With this new tactic the government began to question any individual that falls in the borders of being affiliated with any terrorist organizations. One way the government deals with these suspects is by various methods of torture. Although torture tactics was banned in U.S.A. for a certain time, the U.S. officials found loop holes. These loop holes consisted of abducting the suspected individuals and smuggling them into an entire new nation where various torture tactics are legal to use.

Many of these torture tactics include innocent prisoners being constantly raped by the militia that are in charge. Prisoners being stripped naked and humiliates. Prisoners starved as well as electrocuted. So much for the land of the brave where each individual is supposed to fight for justice throughout the world.

The nation itself engages in various un-democratic activities. Now the question becomes what is truly democracy and is United States in fact cut out to have pride in being a democratic country.

The power of a name is incredible, one word that owns you for the rest of your life unless of course it is changed. Melanie explores her American story by exploiting how her name as well as her fathers name format was created. This particular story really stuck to me because when I moved to America with my family nearly sixteen years ago, my father had also changed my name so it would fit into the American custom easily. Though this is a story I had learned later in the years, it was truly fascinating knowing I am not really who I ought to be.

My name is Shawlin Azad Auchal, the youngest daughter of the Azad family. But my college ID, facebook page, instagram cover and even my social security know me as Auchal Azad. Just a simple first and last name, not some complicated first name with your fathers last name as your middle name and then your actual name as your last. “Because that would be too confusing for the teachers who were American” my father had said when I asked why he changed my name. “We didn’t want you to have any trouble in this country,” reassured my mother.  And that is when I had realized just like Melanie I was Auchal Azad but I also wasn’t Auchal Azad. Its just a trickery of the name.
