The Appropriation of Facts
In the recent months there has been a growing, dangerous trend, named many things and, most importantly, disagreed upon to the extent of violence and mortality. As we breached the information age and attained a worldwide achievement in the form of global connectivity and communication, there is an increasing realization that the average individual is not prepared for the sheer amount of information being shoveled at them. In many ways, this is expected. It was a common belief that the average working class individual was either incapable or unwilling to be responsible for worldly knowledge; such a “curse” was befit to the clergy and, later on, the aristocrat. Many times, they became indistinguishable. Depending upon the current fad.

Chapter Two
Chapter 2 Notes (continued) In the 1800's 'Workhouses' were around that were residential and with a contract with private citizens to provide food and clothes people got to work for what they had. This brought up the idea of 'Indentured servant 'servitude' system- Five to seven people total worked their way to the colonies for food, clothing, shelter, and medical care. Sponsers were gained to get to colony and this is equal to slavery in the Southern colonies.

Can You Hear Me?
These past twelve months have been a topsy-turvy ride for a lot of the country. We've had to change the way we live our lives from the way we shop down to the way we get gas at the gas station. We've adopted new ways to stay apart but stay connected. Zoom, Discord, Whatsapp, Facebook live are now regular ways for the young, the old and the disabled to communicate. Gaming, concerts, art shows, family get-togethers are now performed virtually. These new changes are visible in the less crowded parking lots, the lines to get into smaller stores, the marked distance lines on store floors and pavement.
