America Is A Hell Hole Essay

I believe America is great and amazing for many reasons. This essay will tell you just three reasons why I love America. These reasons are, public education, freedom of religion, and women’s right to vote. All of these make America amazing and different.

America is a wonderful place to live, because we are free. Freedom is important, and many people in other countries do not have much freedom. I am glad I have a place like this to grow up in; where I know that I can be equal with other races and other genders. Also, I am glad I have a place like this that will respect me and I know it will be a great place to have my children grow up in.

     Many of Americans today do not take the time to realize that our nation is little by little falling apart. Our leaders are corrupt, our environment is being destroyed, and there are thousands of children being born each day. The three major social problems facing the American citizens in the 21st century are births to unmarried woman, being able to trust or government and or leaders, and lastly destroying the environment.

As we continue in our busy lives, we always take into account what the next days, weeks, or even months hold for us. But what do we Americans hope for in future years, as a country? There have been several events that have occurred around the world affecting our lives in a positive way. However, there were many crises that have set us back, though we try to strive and become even stronger. To continue improving America, we must have the ability to come together as a whole and progress as the days go by, setting a foundation for our future generations.

As the great Civil War of 1861 came to a close many in our country knew a plan to rebuild and reconstruct our land and laws was needed. Unfortunately there were many opposing ideas of the correct Reconstruction plan making it difficult for our president to instate something concrete. It is well known that Lincoln, Johnson and the Radical Republicans all had similar but different ideas of what needed to be done. The ordeal was messy and heavily induced by the radical response and assassination of Lincoln, inducting Johnson into office. Many attempts to help those of lower class failed but some came through in the end. The ideas of Reconstruction were long and thought out but by the 1870s waned down to make room for

In President Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, he speaks to the crowds gathered before him to discuss his view on the standing of the nation during final months the Civil War. With his speech, Lincoln intends to fully explain his view of the future. More specifically, a future that consists of the Union and the Confederacy existing as a united front after the war’s end. Through his speech he intends to have both Northerners and Southerners buy into his dream of the unified future. Understanding that each group would respond to different appeals, Lincoln knew that he would have to use a number of approaches to convince each group in his audience to agree with his message. To enrapture the hearts and minds of each in totality, Lincoln made sure that his words appealed to the public’s emotional and logical senses in full.

I am the first generation of Americans in my family, even though my father is an American citizen, but I grew up in China. Chinese language and cultural is one of my uniqueness. This trait influenced me the most was my first year in America. The only academic course that I felt confident was math. I never need help in math, I finished all the classwork and homework at class, I got full score on the exam, even with the state exam in FL, I got 5 out of 5. However, other courses, such as science, English, history, I felt powerless. Often, I was sitting on class, but didn't understand anything about it. At the beginning of the English course, I understood most content, because I learned them in my past six years in China, but when facing the second

The American citizens who suffers from poverty did not have the choice to be or not to be in their situation so they suffered greatly since they were not given equal opportunity's as the rest of America. People might have thought that these people on the streets are just lazy people who never gave a damn in their lives and did not want to work for their necessities. But Michal Harrington knew the real reason why this so called "Other America" was the way they were, " But the real explanation of why the poor are where they are is that they made the mistake of being born to the wrong parents, in the wrong section of the country, in the wrong industry, or in the wrong racial or ethnic group ... [so] most of them would never even had had a chance to get out of the other America" (The Other

Many countries have fast food and obesity problems, but America takes it to a whole other level. People don’t cook as much anymore and don’t eat healthily. They also don’t exercise. It’s pictures like this that have everyone wondering WTF and perpetuate stereotypes as to why so many Americans are obese.

What does it mean to be American?Well it all depends on who you ask, because everyone has their own opinions. Being an American mean has and had many definitions for many centuries. During WW1 being an American was helping server the war or help the war. In WW2 it was the exact same thing. Women in this age thought being American was having the same rights as men.

Back in the 19th century, there was a common belief that God had destined The United States to expand entirely across the North American continent, and eventually across the entire Western Hemisphere. They believed that what they were doing was justifiable, because they believed that God was telling them to do this. It had a huge impact on who America is today as a country and if the expansion had not occurred, it is easy to believe that America would not be the thriving and successful country that it is now. There were many positive sides to Manifest Destiny such as; America was successful in expanding its land from the east to the west coast, which is a positive, because it allowed many people to come to America who otherwise would not have had the chance because there would have been no room for any more people. Another positive side is that it gave America a lot more culture than it had before. But if there is a positive side, that means there has to be a negative side. One of the negative sides to Manifest Destiny and territorial expansion was that they did whatever they could possibly do to get that land and they did not care who it hurt, killed, or negatively affected in the process. This is the reason why so many people debate whether or not manifest destiny was a good or a bad thing, because there are valid reasons for both sides.

War, poverty, suffering, disease… These are all backdrops of humanity's darkest hours, yet we are strongest when we stand together. When efforts are united for a greater good, when benevolence and generosity override selfishness and fear. America has been a leader in benevolence and altruism, assisting those in times of hardship. The America I believe in is the nation I live in today: an America that runs on munificence which has been shown through humanitarianism and military support on many occasions.

Let’s get something straight: America was never “great.” From views on African Americans, immigrants, religions, homosexuals, and even women, America may have overcome how harsh they treat different people, but they are still facing controversies over said topics. When President elect, Donald Trump says “make America great again,” it’s hard to understand what he means because, again, America was never actually “great.” As a character in the Netflix Original Series: Orange is the New Black said, this is the “land of the free, home of the racist.” America may have more freedoms than most countries, but Americans then and now blame minorities for our problems, when in reality, they should look in a mirror.

The election of 2016 will always be remembered. This election will go into the history books written one of two ways; either as one of the best elections to happen in modern time or as the nation’s worst election of all time. Donald Trump, our president elect, won with an unbelieveable electoral map. He battled the many other possible candidates that could have been president and then he beat Hillary Clinton. Trump, someone who idols Vladimir Putin, insults everyone among the nation including religions, an entire mexican population, and women. This man tweets insults or states explicitly that “ I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.” (Trump) Really? This

The Aztecs and Inca people had many issues and concerns when they came in contact with the European people. In this essay I will be comparing the issues, and concerns of Aztec and Inca cultures to their contacts with the Europeans. Some of the issues that I will be discussing are from the time period that covered roughly the 1400’s to roughly around the 1500’s. The Aztecs were American Indian people who ruled a mighty empire in Mexico from the 1400’s to 1500’s. In the late fourteenth century, the Inkas were a very small community in the area of Cuzco, a city located at an altitude of 10,000 feet in the mountains of Southern Peru (Pg. 181, Dukier). The lives of the people in these two cultures were forever
