Things seem different to a lot of people. Look how far we've come. We have not only elected our first part African-American president, we have re-elected him.

Gun control is a topic that needs to be discussed and we are discussing it!
People are more open about religion and more and more people are not claiming association with one particular religion, but picking and choosing to develop a way of life that works for the individual or for the family unit.

Thanks to the internet and new opportunities in learning, everyone is more educated. Virtually everyone in our country has access to social media making us a more connected and more aware society. We have learned new ways to make money and new ways to gain access to knowledge.
It's exciting and it's what happening now. Let's embrace this new awakening!
