  In the U.S. “historical truth” is often muddled or suppressed in order to portray people in a better light. People are much more sensitive to the cultural conflicts that are part of celebrating Thanksgiving, yet many people do not know how to address them. In other words, people do not want to stop celebrating Thanksgiving; its message is ultimately one of sharing, thankfulness, and generosity. Yet, Thanksgiving´s history is shameful and bloody. Can you think of any ways that people might continue to celebrate Thanksgiving while honoring those whom it has greatly hurt?
• As the Thanksgiving celebration is a result of death and horror that American ancestors suffered, one way to remember them would be to design a special flag to represent them who died, which would be raised only on the Thanksgiving Day.
  In addition to this, another way to honor those whom were hurt could be singing a special song before the opening session of the traditional football game between the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys. This song must relate the real story and commemorate the memories of those tragic events.
  Another way could be that the whole country keeps silent for a minute at moon time n memory of those who died in the past.
  
  A similar case occurs in Colombia with the Cartagena´s Independence celebration, which is celebrated on 11th November. Taking into consideration that the independence was reached thanks of thousands of brave people, who gave their life to liberate one of the most important cities of my country, it is supposed that the whole country should commemorate this date and honor their memories. Nevertheless, since 1933, when the annual national female beauty contest was created, the independence event has lost importance. Most of people only care about the contestant, and they have forgotten the history of this holiday.
  In order to recover the importance and value of our history, it should be considered to perform and special act during the beauty contestant to honoring those whom made a sacrifice for our liberty.
  
• Also, can you think of instances in your own country´s history where the government has hidden or suppressed the truth about its actions? How did people find out, and what do people do now to work to ensure that it does not happen anymore, or at least not as much.
  
• One of the most scandal events in my country has been the phenomenon of “parapolictics”. For years my country (Colombia) has suffered because of the violent actions made of illegal groups or “guerrillas”, which have killed lots of people, including politics and reach people. Even though the national army has worked hardly to fight against these illegal groups, they have caused many deaths and kidnappings trying to domain the whole country. For this reason, some rich people, senators, and congressmen, who are supposed to have suffered the consequences from the “guerrillas” groups ‘actions, joined forces ad create an “alternative” army called “parapolitics” in order to protect themselves. In other words, some congressmen and other politicians were indicted for suspicions of colluding with other terrorist group called United Self Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC). However, because this group does not follow the law and they killed guerilla people, which are against our laws and the international right of life, it is illegal. When this phenomenon known as “parapolitics” was disclosed, some of the most prestigious government people and authorities such as the former Information Technologies Chief of the Administrative Department of Security (DAS) were related to dozens of murders, and try to justify their violent actions based on the fact that they were exposed to dangerous situations. However, their actions were also related with narcotraffick and mafias. At the beginning, politics related with these scandals tried to hide their actions and justify their incorrect methods. Nevertheless, it was eventually discovered as one of the accused senators confess the whole truth and reveal these relationships.
  Thus, nowadays the government and no governmental agencies perform deep researches and controls about “parapolitcs” infiltration, and try to finish with these illegal connections between the government and terrorist groups.
