Politics: Overuse of power vs. power. Which one is better? Maybe we should have another party thrown into the mix?
Financial situation: " We are not in recession" according to the man who represents us to the international world. We have to be very ignorant to elect another one of them again.
Yes, the ism (s) still do exists, everyday!

Hmong women and social change
We follow the cultural practices and systems that are in place as our contribution.Although I believe there are still women who still contribute because they respect the tradition. I believe some of the unintentional consequences are that we will lose the tradition. In the process we also lose the language and the reasons as to why certain practices and systems are in place to begin with. At the end of the day I think that we will be seen as only Hmong women for now. Like in every immigrant and refugee communities that have come to the United States it will take time to change and maybe even more than time. Women will need to also learn to support other women. No great movement has ever been successful without unity by all. It is apparent it will take more than just education to improve social change system since it does have to do with all the systems for true social change.
