Washington DC is currently the 22nd largest city in the US. It is prominently known for its historical land marks such as Lincoln monument, Washington monument, and the White House. There are also many museums that embrace many cultural identities and expand the knowledge of those visiting. The pictures and content below will show what we saw and experienced during our time in DC.
Our group are focusing on the topic "cultural identity", and we went to the capital of United States, Washington D.C. We contributed two days service project in the non-profit "A Wider Circle", and we also helped to pack food and clothes in another non-profit company.
This map shows the wealth divide in DC. The blue represents the wealthiest 10% and the black represents the lowest 10%. Over the years the lower groups keep moving further and further from downtown DC while the most advantaged move the opposite direction.

Historical Monuments share the history of the past. They allow us for reflection on the things that happened in the past and how we can take what we learned in the past and apply it to the present day and make a difference today.

DC's political climate allows us to see different view points on everyday issues. It also allows us to see how active citizens can have such a big voice and make huge differences. Wether its talking to local officials, leading a protest, or starting a movement being an active citizen is crucial.

We leaned that the process of cultural identity may takes a long time, but it will eventually to be one. As we've seen and did all the things in D.C, cultures are interacting with each others. People get use to foreign and non-aboriginal cultures because it already has been a long time. We learned all of those things by helping others and observing museums. It is very important because people value culture in their own way, if we change and improve the cultural identity right now, we can change the opinions in the next generation. And let's do it!
