THESE FOUR BIGGEST HUMAN EVENTS IN THE LAST 50 YEARS THAT HAVE CHANGED THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOREVER:(i) The signing of the Civil Rights Bill into law in 1965 by the late President Lyndon Johnson which officially established the legal doctrine of equality of all human races in the United States constitution and in the entire American society for the first time since this nation was founded in 1776. This bill also fulfilled the requirements of the opening sentences of the American Declaration of Independence in all reality that says that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" - American Declaration of Independence.
(ii) The rapidly changing presidential demographics in America since the 1980s. Today, over 34% of all Americans are now foreign-born United States citizens in 2012. The sudden rise in the population of the Hispanic-Americans that makes them to be the largest minority group in this nation today and also one of the major voting blocs will always determine who occupies the White House in America for a long time to come. The rapidly growing Hispanic-American population in America is posed to turn the traditional presidential red states of Texas, Georgia and Arizona into the presidential battle ground states by 2016 or beyond.
(iii) The historical presidency of Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 as the first black man to break the color barrier and to rule the world's richest nation and the only superpower country in this 21st century human universe. Obama's presidency also inherited the worst national economy in America in the last 70 years and he made history again by winning a reelection in the midst of the slowly recovering national economy. The Obamacare which is now the official law of health care in America is also historic in nature by giving all Americans universal health care as a right for the first time in the history of this nation.
(iv) The invention of the internet technology, its various important uses especially in the worlds of E-Commerce, E-Learning and social networkings (Facebook, blogs, twitter, Youtube and My Space) have affected everything that we do daily in the American society and in the entire human universe forever by linking nations, businesses and people together in a split of a second.
