\u201cA lot of things are changing. The economy is changing, the way we live, the way we work, the way we connect,\u201d said Dr. Carter. \u201cWe forget we are all human beings, and become consumed with trivial, we want someone else to feel our pain.\u201d
\nSome of the focus of Dr. Carter\u2019s speech was about the subject of former President Barack Obama and newly-elected President Donald Trump. He provided his opinions of both sides of each candidate and explained the differences and similarities of the duo. Dr. Carter gave clear insight of the problems and issues Americans have been facing since the year 2004.<\/p>\n

Dr. Carter\u2019s made the point that he was there to educate and make his audience ask themselves tough questions. He wanted to cast a critical eye on our society as it is now and on the people who hold enormous power in the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s time we reconsider what it means to be American,\u201d said Dr. Carter. \u201cIt starts at home; teaching what is a fact to our kids is important.\u201d<\/p>\n
