    e-Portfolio: Timeline/Final Chapter Project

    Thesis: six successive, related events including the Affordable Care Act, Marriage Equality,

    Presidential Election, Me Too Movement, Covid-19 Pandemic, and Capitol Insurrection have

    shaped the nation into what it is today.

    1. 2010: The Affordable Care Act: In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known

    as Obamacare, was signed into law. This landmark legislation aimed to provide affordable

    healthcare coverage to millions of Americans, expand Medicaid, and implement various

    healthcare reforms.

    2. 2012: Marriage Equality: In June 2012, the Supreme Court of the United States made a

    significant ruling in the case of United States v. Windsor. The court struck down the Defense of

    Marriage Act (DOMA), granting federal recognition to same-sex marriages and paving the way

    for marriage equality across the nation.

    3. 2016: Presidential Election: The 2016 presidential election was a pivotal moment in U.S.

    history. Donald Trump, a businessman and television personality, won the election against

    Hillary Clinton, becoming the 45th President of the United States. This election reflected deep

    divisions within the country and marked a shift in political dynamics.

    4. 2017: #MeToo Movement: The #MeToo movement gained momentum in October 2017,

    following allegations of sexual misconduct against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. The

    movement shed light on the prevalence of sexual harassment and assault, empowering survivors

    to share their stories and sparking a nationwide conversation about consent and gender equality.

    5. 2020: COVID-19 Pandemic: The COVID-19 pandemic emerged as a global health crisis in

    early 2020, impacting every aspect of society. The virus spread rapidly, leading to widespread
    lockdowns, economic disruptions, and a significant loss of life. The pandemic highlighted the

    importance of public health, scientific research, and the need for international cooperation.

    6. 2021: Capitol Insurrection: On January 6, 2021, a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol in an

    attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. This unprecedented event

    underscored the deep political divisions within the nation and raised concerns about the erosion

    of democratic norms and the need for unity and healing.

    These six successive events, from the passage of the Affordable Care Act to the Capitol

    Insurrection, have shaped the nation into what it is today. Each event has had a profound impact

    on policy, social attitudes, and the overall trajectory of the United States.

    These events have had an impact on my perception of the world. They have made me

    more aware of the complexities and challenges we face as a society. It has made me realize the

    importance of staying informed, empathizing with others, and working towards positive change.
