After sitting in class and being reminded about the blog, I remembered the topics were about stereotypes and grids. This week’s past event I believe was completely outside the grid. It was outside the general consensus on who should take that position. The first black President was sworn into office a day that will be written in many textbooks to come. This also fits under stereotypes, because no one would think that America would have a black president. The past 43 Presidents were all white males above the average age of 40. Now the American public is looking to see how President will think outside the grid and help us push through our period of downturn and his stance on things. Never would I think that the next President would be black and earlier last year I came to find out that his middle name was Hussein a Muslim name! Totally outside the grid there. Now all we have to do is wait and see what his stance are and how the American public will react. There were almost two million people at his inauguration and the security team was about 75000 armed forces. They had to secure him before someone tries to kill the man that breaks the mold. America is showing that change is needed and people need to think outside the box.
