I feel like Baldwin spoke very truthfully about what he hopes to teach his students, such as the endless possibilities that each of them have to make a significant change in the society we live in. In other words, there is a limit to how much history that lies within America whereas the capabilities of its future can go on forever and ever. When Baldwin brings up that āthe world is largerā, it seems as though he is trying to show how there are several ideals, in this case equal lifestyles, that are either yet to be discovered or even just be fully acknowledged by those who are for them to help fix the issue in that area. It is also kind of like oneās ability to make the necessary changes is constantly growing. Personally, I think I have the obligation to be able to touch upon and learn more about the gender wage gap. To be honest, this isnāt something that is consistently crossing my mind but when it does it does. The statistic is that women up to this day are getting paid generally less than what men are being paid. For me to bring this up a male may seem as a shock, but knowing that I am technically at an advantage while the opposite gender isnāt almost feels undeserving. I also feel this is something that is overlooked by many and should be taught more in schools due to the fact that we live in a society nowadays where gender is more variable than what it used to be with people being transgender, non-binary, etc.
