Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not knows no release. From little things. Knows not the livid loneliness of fear, nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear... the sound of wings. - Amelia Earhart


In the year 2030 our first male president was elected. Truly, it was one of the greatest moments in our nation’s history.


In his inaugural address, President Barnie Lynch – Barry praised Hollywood for its efforts in producing more complex, developed male characters who didn’t need to rely constantly on women’s intellectual help.
During his speech his wife, Linda Barry sat at his right. Linda Barry is a very successful banking executive and the CEO of her own start – up green tech company. At the President’s right sat Vice President Marla Chipra. Although we now have a male president, we are yet to have a man in the office of VP.


Arrayed behind President Lynch – Barry sat the elderly Martin Bower – the first male astronaut in space, Max HIstor – CEO of one of America’s largest electrical car companies, and Andrew Patella – our 4th male Secretary – of – State.


President Lynch – Barry is a role model to young men across our country. In the years of his presidency he has proven to be a resourceful, firm, and intelligent leader. He has in particular displayed these qualities in his dealings with the calculating Petunia Maximov, president of Russia.


In 2034 President Barnie Lynch – Barry defeated his opponent, Nina Sawyer by an undeniable majority. With his election, President Lynch – Barry has surpassed gender stereotypes, proving that men are not too aggressive to lead, and paved the way for future generations of male politicians.

I thought this Social issue was very interesting by which I see the Arthur had some fun making up some of the characters and events in the year 2030. I can see that the Arthur imagined that the president in 2030 would be giving a speech about how he is a good American that kids can look up to “Barry is a role model to younger men across our country. In the years of his presidency he has particular displayed these qualities.”
