Why has it become wrong to be "normal"?
Why has it become wrong to be “normal”? Democracy is now at the mercy of the rush to be different.

The media has lauded dissent and being different, seemingly just for the sake of it, and makes being part of the majority almost a crime. It is not that the media in general praises genius or original thinking, it is praises anything that is unusual.

India has tremendous potential for power generation from renewable energy generation sources like wind, biomass, solar or hydro ,etc. Solar Photovoltaic is a technology that converts the solar radiation into electricity with the help of semiconductors.

A disturbing trend is taking hold in America that is leaving a lot of Black people stunned. They are finding that White friends, coworkers, neighbors, and those in their faith based communities etc. have become openly racist since Donald Trump was elected in 2016. Those who support the president say this is obsured and that people need to stop blaming number 45 for everything. The truth is, Black folk can’t help but discuss what they are experiencing. We have all heard the stories of the “Karen’s” who have been calling the police on African Americans for no reason. We have seen the video’s of random police brutality but what is happening now is personal.

Witnessing the recent events of 2020, we have to ask ourselves, how did we let our government become this way? How did we manage to let them destroy our civil liberties, destroy our economy, dig us a pit of debt, get caught up in scandal after scandal, get away with it, and still somehow call this "progress?"

The most iconic duo is America, and its lack of compassion for its own citizens. Since coronavirus changed the course of all of our lives just a few months ago it has become abundantly clear that we the people do not matter at all. $1,2000 for four months, that is, if you got a stimulus check at all. Right now 28 million Americas are at risk of eviction. 51 Million Americans are unemployed. Even if you are lucky enough to either have kept you job or been hired within the last few months just going to work every day, you are at risk of contracting a deadly virus that you might pass on to your loved ones because your fellow citizens don’t want to do the bare minimum of wearing a mask because their rights are being ‘threatened.’

Though long sought after and fought over, these two ideals continue to be the iconic duo that permeates through American culture.
