Even though President Trump is striving to divide us, in reality, he’s actually bringing us together powerfully. Although hate crimes have exceeded the standard level, protests have also been rapidly increasing.

Trump has fed on hate and fear of the American people promising to “drain the swamp”.

He’s instigated a travel ban which clearly discriminates Muslims and favors Christians.

He has mocked a reporter with a disability and has emitted filthy words about females.

He pretty much has the intellectual mind of a five-year-old.

But these are the strong perspectives that resonate to the rural America, people who clearly are not educated on culture and choose to stay in a racist perspective or blame the fact that they are fearful of the unknown.

But what about the fear of immigrants being torn from their families? The fear of Muslims wanting to travel? The fear of gays wanting to marry? The fear of being a person of color?

Little do these people realize that the real majority of Americans are immigrants, Muslims, people of color, Jews, gays, transgenders, etc.

As a Muslim myself, I have always feared that people would view me differently simply for being a Muslim. Because of the media, Islam has been paralleled with terrorism. But now, with Trump as president, people who don’t discriminate based on religion or ethnicity have cleared the fog of uncertainty and have boldly stood up for us and other minority groups.

These protests have eradicated fear and have saturated a powerful form of resistance and unity.

From the Women’s march to the Immigrants March, people have risen to reject racism and discrimination that still vividly exists in 2017.

The Oscars this past Sunday projected a wide variety of awards for a group of diverse people.

Viola Davis is the first black woman to win an Oscar, Emmy, and a Tony award.

For the first time ever, a whole black cast won an Oscar for Best Picture.

No matter how hard Trump will try to segregate and ostracize groups of people, he has only confirmed the negating perspectives of his supporters and the people will continue to rise in an even more compelling way than ever before.

Recently, it seems Donald Trump has been catching up to Hillary Clinton in the polls. Are people seriously thinking about making Trump president of these United States?

Trump should have been disqualified already as he has made bluntly mean-spirited and endlessly derogatory remarks about many communities, while his running mate, Mike Pence is cited as a notable homophobe. We do not need to go over every single hateful remark Trump has made, but we do need to talk about the bright side of the situation, a Hillary Clinton presidency!

So what will Hillary do as president? Well, she is more qualified, experienced, and fit to be president than Donald Trump, who can bring back racism and even fascism, lies amply, and blamed Hillary on many occasions. She is prepared as she has plans to fight and protect and believes in strength, compassion, and equality. She quoted Abraham Lincoln and said that we are an “exceptional country” and that we “are not a country that cowers behind walls.” She cites a “rock-solid commitment to the values that have always made America great.”

Hillary is ready to invest in innovation and strength and she will secure veterans and their families to apt care and give them access to education and avoid catastrophes to be afflicted on them, such as in economic forms. She stresses substance abuse and mental health as well, showing her genuine concern and compassion for equality and well-being of her constituents and the country’s citizens. She will built a suitable economy for everyone, not for “those at the top.” Her five-point plan involves making college debt-free to all Americans. She wants to make the economy fit for challenges and alleviate families facing such challenges. She will make success accessible, inevitable, and possible. She will fight for equal pay and make changes happen that are simply long-delayed, like paid leave being guaranteed.

As Hillary has already been endorsed by many groups, like labor unions and the Human Rights Campaign, she gained a huge endorsement as, according to Realtimepolitics.com, former Defense Secretary Bob Gates wrote that Donald Trump is “beyond repair.” He also says “Trump is stubbornly uninformed about the world and how to lead our country and government, and tempermentally unsuited to lead our men and women in uniform. He is unqualified and unfit to be the Commander-in-Chief.

Donald Trump’s words about Bob Gates.

Bob Gates.

Fashion features ample things and ideals. It challenges and incites ontological and philosophical questions. It encourages insightful thinking and inquisitive pondering. It is easily a very cyclical phenomenon and so enigmatic, as it is composed of binary elements, such as inclusive versus exclusive, skinny or slender versus plus-sized, subtle or simple versus extravagant and showy, minimal versus baroque, and mainstreams versus hipster.

Fashion is not only an expansive, multidimensional field of aesthetics and artistic beauty blended with social and cultural and philosophical elements, but it serves social, psychological, and cultural functions, like iconisation through models, photography, and themes and consumerism through branding and commodification. It establishes and reinforces codes and stylistic conventions.

According to Mauss and Bordieu, “how we clothe the body” is an active process or a technical means to create or represent a bodily self. The body is naturally trained to inhibit and internalize postures, movement, and gestures. Bodies are worn through technologies of movement, gesture, projection, and restraint.

You can have personified fashion. You can find yourself through it, no matter what you image is. Chanel Park, who never expected to fit into her fashion world’s realms, reflects she did not fit the image. She, however, is in the fashion world and she finds depth and diversity in it.

Models like Marquita Ping, Sabina Karlsson, and Georgia Pratt, walked on the runway that featured a notable amount of plus-size models, according to Parks. She reflected that gender identity has been played with but that racial and cultural identity and diversity was more prominent and dealt with this year at New York Fashion Week.

Seeing fashion is everywhere; it is unavoidable. Relating to it is made easier by diversity, depth, and breadth and meaning becomes more evident.
