8. Even though there is religious and cultural freedom in the United States, it is still tough for whoever is the minority. You can think what you want, but there will always be people throwing ridicule your way. I find hard core religious people unsettling, but they probably find my views sacrilegious. Inherit the Wind shows how people weren’t quick to jump on the band wagon for evolution. People didn’t like the change, because they were comforted by the idea that God is almighty and created everything. In Jasmine some people didn’t like that Bud was shacking up with a Punjabi girl and an Asian son, because it wasn’t what they were used to. People like the comfort of what they are used to, and when something is different they criticize it. It’s like how some people still question Climate Change, when it is so clear that there is in fact something wrong with Earth. They blow it off as if it is a joke, when it is a very serious issue. People don’t want to accept that there is something wrong, and that the way they are living could be the reason for the problem. It is true that in America, there are those who will accept everyone as they come, but people forget that there are those who aren’t comfortable with the change.
