Declaration of Perception<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Declaration of Perception is about how I feel about what\u2019s going on in the world around me that affects me. It will be informal – but my whole Declaration is about opening our eyes.<\/p>\n

Media Outrage: the media is out of control and will escalate everything that pertains to \u201cblack\u201d and \u201cwhite\u201d crimes that have been committed. It\u2019s crazy how much the media influences the world, but for some reason the media itself is \u201cdumbing\u201d down the viewers. What should we do to fix this? Break down the big brothers of the Media. About 90% of the things that we watch is controlled and owned by 6 major companies. They could easily influence us and change the tide of our lives by manipulating stories and turn us against each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cInsecurity\u201d: by insecurity, I don\u2019t mean having trust issues developed because of failed relationships. Gender roles are not the same as they were centuries ago. The world doesn\u2019t live in a \u201cman\u2019s world;\u201d the world is evolving to finally accepting women as equals of males. A man doesn\u2019t just go to work and come home to a home-cooked meal and a loving family; rather, in today\u2019s world the man will probably come back and not even see his wife because she too works. Simple-minded citizens can\u2019t accept homosexuality or transgender; they can\u2019t accept it because it\u2019s a \u201ctaboo\u201d. Just a couple centuries ago Slavery was legal. Africans in America were not treated like human beings. The country was created where all \u201cWhite\u201d men were created equal. Now we have an African American President, but it\u2019s all \u201ctaboo\u201d right? If a man wants to go outside wearing a sun dress and high heels, let him be. If a woman wants to go outside with cargos, sneakers, and a baseball tee, let her be. It\u2019s their own business, and we shouldn\u2019t judge them because of the choice that they make. We\u2019re all unique individuals and nobody is the same. How can we cure these \u201cinsecurities\u201d? By not being ignorant and try and learn and see things the way they see it, even if we don\u2019t agree with one another\u2026 who are we to judge?<\/p>\n
