America A Masterpiece In Progress Analysis

America offers so much to the people who live in the U.S., but America will always be full of criticism, violence, and people who are offended by everything. America still seems to manage to be one of the world's best nations. The first Americans planned America to be as successful as it is, but for America to be more peaceful. America is not one of the most peaceful places, but it is not the most dangerous place to live. Even political parties lie and cheat each other. A lot of the Americans are greedy, because they take advantages of what America offers to their citizens. Even though America is not perfect I am still glad to live in the U.S.

What sets America apart from any nation in the world is that it never settle. America, at times, has had the tenancy to spent too long in the darkness of satisfaction and despondency, but never has it settles in shadows. Every single time America has fallen or been knocked down, it has never failed to rise from defeat. It may take months, years and even decades, but America never stops pursuing the perfection of the unparalleled ideals it was founded on.

Is America perfect? Do I believe in it? The America I believe in is the land of the free and the home of the brave. I believe that America is free, and that you have a choice.

monarchs. They did everything through the work of God. Even with other governments trying to

In the PBS presentation Inventing America: Making a Nation, the Founding Fathers are brought together to discuss how our nation began as its own entity. Each of the Founding Fathers discussed a few of their contributions to the making of our nation, and how the rules we follow today were created with their help. An ethical question brought up in this presentation by the Founding Fathers was whether or not the British Parliament should be able to control North American colonies.

America was once feared by every other country regarding everything, but now the only thing America is still superior in is the military, other countries have caught up or even surpassed us in every other category. Other countries have proven to be superior than America in various things such as school. In 2012, America was ranked 26th compared to other countries when regarding test scores. This is due to better curriculum and preparing students better for their future in other countries. It is an extremely large issue that the United States have dropped so far down in the rankings. Also, America has a very large obesity rate at 35 percent of the population being obese. This is due to the lack of physical activity which some people have. Most

The connection between the Virtues Franklin discusses in his writings and the "American" values definitely defer in modern day America but compare in some ways. The first example that I noticed was in the "The Way to Wealth" section, from one of the quotes of "Poor Richard Almanac" The line discusses the mindset that people should have towards working. The quote reads, "Drive thy business, let not that drive thee, and early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." (Franklin 459). This connection connects to some Americans who have worked hard to make business and basically coming from nothing. This also connects to America because it differs from some lazy Americans who try to find ways to become rich without doing

All living things relate to one another through fear. As humans, we are surrounded by things that cause our hearts to race and our palms to sweat. In fact, the most viewed movies and televisions series are those that cause such reactions. One could say we thrive on fear. When we watched The End of America in class, my eyes were opened to the corruption of our government. I knew that our nation had its problems but I never realized how deep they ran. The more I saw in the documentary the more flaws I saw in the “perfect façade” concocted by our government. The one thing that seemed most prominent to me was the manipulation of peoples’ fears. That made me wonder that if our fears are being manipulated, how far has our government gone with its

One main reason why america is still a “city on the hill” is our military. Ian Bremmer states in the article These Are the 5 Reasons Why the U.S. Remains the World's Only Superpower addressing the american public “The U.S. dominates across land, sea, air and space. America’s Middle East misadventures gave the U.S. military a black eye” (Bremmer). By stating that the U.S dominates all areas of the world with different branches of military covering each terrain. When the quote states that the middle east gave the U.S. a “black eye” it means that we were hit with their forces but not badly injured. The military is America's strongest force because we have countless numbers of people willingly protecting our country. However, The military is also

“Any form of art is a form of power; it has impact, it can affect change- it can not only move us, it makes us move” –Ossie Davis. I’ve been doing art for as long as I can remember from paper to canvas, to metal and wood and much more since my early elementary school years. "On September 29, 1965, President Lyndon B Johnson signed the National Endowment for the Arts", is a government organization that encourages and funds our American community with a variety of opportunities and forms of art (50th Anniversary). Along with partnerships such as Arts Education Partnership, Blue Star Museum, Poetry Out Loud, Save America's Treasures etc. As 2017, President Donald Trump forwards his budget blueprint of eliminating $148 million

When a butterfly flaps its wings, it is said that a hurricane can form as a result. Of course, we do not see the hurricane--that comes much later-- we simply see a butterfly going about its business. How can a butterfly accomplish such a monumental feat and could a human do it too? Well, as with all actions, it requires energy. In a recent commercial by Chevron, it is implied that oil is the source of energy for human “doers.” Filled with images of patriotism, inventions, and all the wonders of mankind’s advancement, Chevron shows all the positive accomplishments “doers” can do. What it does not show, however, is the resulting hurricane. Chevron’s fallacious commercial about “doers” is an example of “stacking the deck” as it only portrays one standpoint and does not list any alternatives.

“One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” said american astronaut Neil Armstrong. Armstrong was the first person in the world to ever walk on the surface of the Moon. His famous space voyage was conducted in the 20th Century. By many people and researchers, the 20th Century has been dubbed the “American Century.” A characterization of the period since the middle of the 20th century as being largely dominated by the United States in political, economic, and cultural terms. Many Americans during this century have done many important and amazing things. Some of which have changed the world for the better. This led to the idea of tearing down the famous faces of Mount Rushmore and replacing them with modern world changing Americans.

America gives my generation, safety, freedom, and family. A quote by Dwight D. Eisenhower is very meaningful. “America is best described by one word freedom.” These things are very important.

Imagine that you’re in restaurant and the restaurant has a set dish that everyone gets or they had an option of a buffet that has foods from every culture and many different options. You would probably choose the buffet right? The buffet is actually what America represents as a whole. It has people and religions from all over the world and it all seems to go together well. Also people have a choice in how they want to lead their life and what changes will happen to them.

In my thoughts United States is a unique country. Because, it built by the immigrants who came here for better opportunity, beautiful life and great dreams. United States reminds me small world because lot of people from each part of the world live here. That makes United States different and interesting country in my mind. Culture is something which explains people’s life style, interest, history and values. So, every emigrant brought some new perspective in the United State. We are able to find some cultural piece from every part of the world. Because of, the dreams every person brought some perspective which makes them hard working and seeking for new opportunities. So, United State is the representative of diversity, new built culture, individualism and direct also outspoken place where your dream could be true.
