WEBVTT 00:00:04.180 --> 00:00:06.740 Hello everyone, my name is Jessie Tia and 00:00:06.740 --> 00:00:11.090 I'm the contestant to the social sciences scholarship. 00:00:11.090 --> 00:00:14.290 You guys wanna introduce yourself? 00:00:14.290 --> 00:00:18.190 >> Hi, my name is Emily Monroe and I am a friend of 00:00:18.190 --> 00:00:23.160 Jessie Hello, my name is Josephine whites and 00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:27.590 I'm a friend of GC also a member of SSV committees. 00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:32.550 >> So today I'm going to be discussing with Anna Lee and 00:00:32.550 --> 00:00:35.570 Josep >> The new cultural 00:00:35.570 --> 00:00:39.410 gap that has been occurring lately even though it has been going on for 00:00:39.410 --> 00:00:45.070 a while, it's been more predominant over the past couple months to a year. 00:00:45.070 --> 00:00:47.980 So I just wanted to take you ladies opinions 00:00:47.980 --> 00:00:53.120 on what do you think has been happening with our Society in our culture, 00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:57.460 there we have been experiencing this cultural gap in our society where there 00:00:57.460 --> 00:01:03.150 has been we versus they and a lot of separation basically. 00:01:03.150 --> 00:01:08.940 So any ideas why this is happening why people have been feeling that Well, 00:01:08.940 --> 00:01:15.380 a big one has to be the Black Lives Matter movement which has been occurring for 00:01:15.380 --> 00:01:17.600 since the beginning of year I believe. 00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:22.950 And the purpose of this was to demonstrate that 00:01:22.950 --> 00:01:30.300 certain type of wives is Being targeted and a lot of people don't see it that way. 00:01:30.300 --> 00:01:34.080 And that's kind of like what's kind of splitting us up which is like the gap that 00:01:34.080 --> 00:01:39.250 I could say because it is something that is occurring and 00:01:39.250 --> 00:01:42.250 it's still occurring because there's people protesting still there's still 00:01:42.250 --> 00:01:46.740 people who are on social media saying that this is happening. 00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:48.210 This is happening. 00:01:48.210 --> 00:01:52.770 But others believe that it's not a huge issue that it's not something that we 00:01:52.770 --> 00:01:57.450 should pay attention to because obviously with the elections crew now they wanna 00:01:57.450 --> 00:02:02.420 focus on that but the Black Lives Matter movement has to deal with the elections 00:02:02.420 --> 00:02:07.570 and that's like a huge issue that many of the candidates are talking about, 00:02:07.570 --> 00:02:13.190 and with, with their own views everyone the right with their own opinion 00:02:13.190 --> 00:02:17.180 It's kind of like splitting us up because we should like be united and 00:02:17.180 --> 00:02:21.190 be able to be friends no matter what political view, 00:02:21.190 --> 00:02:25.950 no matter what gender, race, or sexuality you have. 00:02:25.950 --> 00:02:31.110 It's all about being united, but right now, it's what's keeping us apart. 00:02:32.290 --> 00:02:33.320 My opinion. 00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:34.670 >> Right, right. 00:02:34.670 --> 00:02:38.315 I agree with you that Lot of things socially like 00:02:38.315 --> 00:02:45.670 race,religion,sexuality.Ethnicities even has been like 00:02:45.670 --> 00:02:50.990 impacting our culture and our society greatly and it's causing that gap and 00:02:50.990 --> 00:02:56.890 it sucks because We're all the same at one point like we're all human. 00:02:56.890 --> 00:03:02.920 So just so awful to see that that's causing an issue in our society. 00:03:02.920 --> 00:03:05.400 Josephine, do you have anything to add?

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:08.810 Do you guys have any ideas? 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.480 >> I feel like what Josephine said is like acknowledging it and 00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:18.070 accepting what is occurring. 00:04:18.070 --> 00:04:22.520 And not Fighting or 00:04:22.520 --> 00:04:27.110 like arguing, like, calling each other names is not the step that we should take. 00:04:27.110 --> 00:04:33.780 Be like the step that we should take is, you know, becoming friends, no matter 00:04:33.780 --> 00:04:38.620 like, no matter what and like accepting each other to be like a first good step. 00:04:38.620 --> 00:04:41.080 What do you think?
