Narrative about being judged

Explanation: Being judged is one of the worst possible scenarios in life. Imagine this. You're sitting uncomfortably in that plastic chair, sweat beading around your brow. The tight tie around your neck is suffocating, but you try to make a good first impression. Your body feels as though an iron weight is pulling you down to the ground as a whole, just minutes from being pulled through the floor. You try not to panic, and recite the mantra your friends taught you before the interview. This is your moment. You've been dreaming of this since childhood, but never imagined you'd get this far. Now, all that matters is how the secretary sitting in front of you thinks. He blindly flips through your resume, dull eyes flipping through yellowed pages. His brow was wrinkled and lacked emotion. He looks at you and finally says the words: "I'm sorry, but you're just not what we're looking for. We want this to be an environment where people feel safe and can be aware of that. You're also going to have to catch up with the others. We just can't have someone like you slowing us down." The words strike you like a spear. This had been your dream interview, and you lost it. Many more were to come, only to turn you away. You wonder why. As you sit down on a bench to breathe in your sorrows, a puddle splashed onto the sidewalk in front of you. You're not soaking wet, but your shoes are soggy. You sigh and look down at your reflection. A sad immigrant with nowhere to go. Your parents had already gone out of their way to fund your education. Their savings were depleted, and you were the first in the family to graduate college. You'd be looked down upon in this society either way. The people here don't see you or anyone that looks like you as their equal. It's how it works. It's happened everywhere you've gone. All because of the color of your skin, people judge. But you soldier on. Maybe someday, you'll find your dream job and find the life you've dreamed of. Keep positive thoughts. Life only gets harder, and never easy. It's what built you as a person. As you step into the next office, you have high hopes. You confidently step and put a smile on your face. It's for the best. The glass doors close behind you and you sit on the next bench.

What Caused The American Civil War?

There were many reasons for a Civil War to happen in America, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the American Revolution ended in 1782. Between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the North and South grew more intense. One of the main quarrels was about taxes paid on goods brought into this country from foreign countries. This tax was called a tariff. Southerners felt these tariffs were unfair and aimed toward them because they imported a wider variety of goods than most Northern people. Taxes were also placed on many Southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to Northern goods of equal value. An awkward economic structure allowed states and private transportation companies to do this, which also affected Southern banks that found themselves paying higher interest rates on loans made with banks in the North. The situation grew worse after several “panics,” including one in 1857 that affected more Northern banks than Southern. Southern financiers found themselves burdened with high payments just to save Northern banks that had suffered financial losses through poor investment.
