The class discussion that took place on November 10, 2016 conveyed emotions that are very hard to describe in a few short words. Our professor opened up the class by asking us ( the students) how we felt after finding out who our next president would be. Although the responses varied, we all seemed to share the same type of fear for what is to come. Our professor Rod along with Jeremy shared their viewpoints and explained why this catastrophic event shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, as history always seems to repeat itself. They explained to us that in the U.S. we have had many points in time which are now considered as progress towards social justice, but after every step forward that we take it seems that there are always those who want to take two steps back. It seems as if we are currently at that stage in which some people are willing to take those two steps back. Although I do fear some of the negative things that might happen, I am hopeful that these "two steps back" will create some of our most insightful, creative, and open-minded leaders of tomorrow that will take us forward instead of back.
