May Day

I think that realizing and observing that sense of a past struggle is necessary to live a good and meaningful life. In this case, I believe that more people in the U.S should be more aware of certain holidays such as May Day and observe it like any other American holiday such as July 4th. May Day was a day where workers didn’t go to work to exercise their rights to have time off. This was something similar to the civil rights movement because instead of marching out for work, they marched to get their rights as equals. But why is May Day a holiday to many that has just “Disappeared?” I think it is due to our American culture blocking us from the truth of our actually meaningful rights and feelings.
I feel that the American culture has blocked us off from knowing about this holiday because I feel the government is scared of what the American people can possibly do. I bet they feel that the American public will feel that it would be more meaningful if only have like 1 day of work a week. So therefore we are blocked off from this holiday so we don’t have a high potential from not going to work every day so there would be hardly any work days. If this were to happen then there shouldn’t even be consider a “work week,” if there is hardly any work. Therefore in conclusion I believe May Day isn’t observed due to the American government’s fear of their own people’s ability to walk out of work almost every day and force there to be hardly any work week.
