Have America’s Ideals Been Lost, Or Stolen?
How many Americans even know what they are?
Do you have any doubt America is at a tipping point?
If you’re old enough to be reading this, sure you remember an America from your childhood. It was different, why.

Education and cultural influence by media can’t be denied.
The influence of these established institutions has a major impact on the culture. This comes from the aptitude, inspiration, and creativeness of the talent it attracts.
These are the inventors and innovators in society. The people who implement change and progress. Many who work and live in this profession tend to think outside the norms of society. It’s also worth considering that the creative field attracts open-minded, independent thinkers willing to challenge the status quo.
Progress is not achieved by doing the same things over and over again.
