Thoughts about Problems and Solutions

I have been answering suggested questions about Abdu'l-Baha, the main character in my anthology story. This is the next question: Do you usually notice problems around you?

Abdu'l-Baha certainly made note of the problems he saw in American society. He spoke out against the obvious racial prejudice, which prevailed throughout America in the year 1912. He spoke at the fourth meeting of the NAACP.

Still, Abdu'l-Baha admired many things about the United States. He never hesitated to praise those aspects of the American culture that he looked upon favorably. While Abdu'l-Baha had come grown up in a country with an eastern culture, he did not condemn every aspect of the western lifestyle.
