  1. I think there's at least two ways to be looking at the United States' political system and goals for the future. For a country to stay stable long term, financial and economic stability matter more to some people (Trump supporters) then the comfort of citizens who feel unheard or oppressed by Trumps leadership in this short term (4 or 8 year) period of his presidency. What I mean by this is that there are a large portion of citizens in this country that are deciding that it is okay for someone who does have his orange personality type to rule at this time to assure the chance a a stable future for this the U.S. And that there can be a chance later on to work on social issues. Assuming that the masses that have voted for and will vote for him in this next election are "people that do not think" is naive because in their own view they are seeing a different picture. Yes there are mindless followers, but it is absolutely the same way on the Left too. A huge percentage of this country Is mindless which is tragic in itself. If you need/would like a reference, I'm attaching a Vice video link on black members of society on both sides of the political spectrum making points towards their own belief of what's best right now. This video is more impactful to some people because of the stigma there is around African Americans/POC choosing to vote for him. So listen to their thoughts and then help me understand that the Trump supporters in this conversation truly are people who can't think for themselves/know what's right in their own way. Now, the second way I can think of to look at what's best for this country, is way more green in perspective, but its focusing on Trumps moral character, which if the job he was elected into was solely based on how good of a person he was, then there is no way he would have been elected. And honestly, there is no good argument saying that he is a man we should be proud of to be in charge of us, though some people on the far right do make him out to be one. A lot of people believe we need somebody who cares about who they hurt, and at the very least has enough maturity to not say anything and everything that's on his mind. Thats absolutely fair, his mannerisms genuinely do make the United States look like a joke. The outrage is absolutely valid. His personality, privilege, gender, race, and many other things are absolutely strengthening the divide that this country already has. And for people who are more worried about the social issues over the economic ones, then he IS the issue. Whats the point of having a financially secure country if we're at war with each other over this one man? My final thought on this is that either way, both sides have a point and until we don't have such a strong/extreme two party system where you only have a chance of winning an election by picking a side to run with (having a democratic and republican candidate) and depending on financial help from that party, we will always have an imperfect president, because nobody who is only republican or only democrat will be able to actually bring this country together. But yeah, I just think everybody should be aware before assuming that people who have opposite beliefs of you are mindless and don't know what they are talking about. Heres the video but they're are also a lot more if you actually want to pursue understanding other points of view https://youtu.be/IVIoC5ROaHk
  2. Personally I've always wanted to go into Law and Justice and when I began studying it the classes were challenging, but because I have a deep passion towards the subject the assignments only partially feel like work. For instance the complex text I would hate to study for a different subject could keep my interest for hours. If you need your career path to be fulfilling but you can't pursue psychology fully, then maybe there is a different topic you could be more excited about/that your heart would be more invested in. But at the same time maybe you're just getting bored because school gets like that and pushing through might be worth it later on, once you're using your skills in the real world.
