What makes a broken America?

"No it doesn't." "Yes, It does." "Since we obviously can't agree, let's ask the reader." "What do you think makes a broken America?" In my opinion if one wants a broken America, have a lot of violence, place a great amount of bad neighborhoods, and finally throw in some messed up families. 

Violence is a huge problem in America. The homocide rate has made an increase for the worse. Gangs have made a great impact on the youth of our generations. For instance, The Crips, and The Bloods. In the story Richard said, "I'll kill you."

In addition to the violence, throw in some shitty neighborhoods. There has to be some ignorance in education. Throw in some decrepit buildings and some crack houses. Also, what the hey, how about a dumb, useless leader.?

Lastly, one can't have a messed up America, without some messed up families. Okay, one must add in at most one parent. Richard only had his mother, his father left. Due to the fact that it was only him and his mother, he kept thinking "...Now I have to be the man of the house."

Now that you have read my opinion of what makes a broken America, and my reasons, think about this: Do you in any way, shape, or form contribute to or relate to these ideas? If so cool, if not, cool. But hey, if you don't like my paper, write your own.
