Religious normalization

The processes by which society establishes new norms, expectations, and standards, and in some cases existing norms and standards are replaced, in regards to what is and is not acceptable in religious settings. These processes happen in various settings including schools, colleges, businesses, churches, news channels, state governments, federal governments, and homes. These processes can greatly impact how people think, act, and behave in various religious situations.

Yuliana: I wish more religions would be more supportive of giving women equal rights and protections.
Winston: Regrettably that may take a while to occur, the amount of time in which religious normalization occurs in many religions is relatively slow. It could take many years for those types of changes to happen, but the process might be accelerated if more national governments gave women equal rights to men, which would help pressure them into doing it.
Yuliana: I just wish it would happen faster.
Winston: We can always hope that some day more religions will be more supportive of women’s right.
Yuliana: I agree. Hopefully some day more of them will.

Political Mainstream Supremacy Effect

A major political and social issue that arises when during election season, Republicans and Democrats have more access to the media, public relations professionals, and have more education and training on how to effectively campaign in political elections than nonmainstream political parties have, which results in the Republicans in Democrats winning more elections than nonmainstream political parties. Many members of the general public have been conditioned by the mainstream political parties to believe this is acceptable when in fact it is not. The best way to address this problem is actively work to ensure that nonmainstream political parties have more access to the media, p.r. professionals, and education on how to effectively run a political campaign.

The Political Mainstream Supremacy Effect has been around for many years and over time has had a very heavy, negative impact on the political diversity found in governments in all levels of jurisdiction all over the U.S.

Bernell Trammell

An African American business owner, nick named “The Ras” because he was Rastafarian, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin who murdered in broad daylight in front of his business on July 23, 2020. He ran eXpressions Journal, which was a publication that discussed political and spiritual news. Trammell was a known Trump supporter, but he was also known to have supported Black Lives Matter and many democrats in the area. It is suspected by both his community and local political leaders that he was murdered over his political beliefs. Whether or not this is the case is unknown as the killer is still at large. Many Republican leaders believe the Democratic leaders in that region are downplaying his murder because Trammell supported Trump. It should be noted that three weeks prior to his death that an individual approached him and had minor confrontation with him for holding a Trump sign.

The murder of Bernell Trammell may become an unfortunate example of what happens when political intolerance goes unchecked. Let us hope that the killer is identified and appropriately punished for what they did.
