America's Contribution To My Generation

America’s Gift to my generation is a great one. They have given my all the freedoms I could ask for.

America has brought this new generation many new opportunities such as , technology, freedom, and rights. Americas technology now is way more complex than it was 30 years ago. Now in this day of age, we have smartphones, televisions, computers, digital clocks and watches, and so much more. Freedom is also very different than it was back in the 1900´s. People now of any color, race, religion, and gender all have rights, as if back then not everybody has the privileges that they do now.

Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master. I think that its meaning that technology can just make you a dull person and very anti social but it helps you a lot with things. Technology is a certain gift to our generation because there is always something new coming out each year. The new things are like phones because there is always a new one. Some people need technology or they can't function without it. America's gift to my generation is technology.

that gift is so precious. The gift I got is very amazing ,and powerful. I got freedom ,and in

Imagine growing up and not having the right to say what you want or what you believe in or not being allowed to wear what you love wearing, wouldn't that make that make you the same as everyone else? That's why freedom is very important to us and is the best gift to my generation. Freedom let us state our own opinion on things, and also let us wear what we want to wear.

The United States has 1,281,000 people in the US military and 801,200 in the reserve. These people protect us and give us so much for us. We can stay in the houses we own and live were we want. First Amendment, the freedom of speech lets us say what we want and post what we want. The best protection is our protection, we are protect by our military so well that we can’t say thank you enough.

America’s gift to my generation is having the ability to be free. Abraham Lincoln once said, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” That quote has so much meaning behind it.

Women over the course of hundreds of years have always struggled to be equivalent to men. Weather that be the right to vote, the right to speak up, or the right to lead. Leadership for example, is founded upon many different grounds. One being the military. Having a role in the military meant something greater than having a “regular” occupation to women. It meant that one has the opportunity to lead his/her country. To be the difference in the world. Females also wanted a taste of what it’s like to serve in the precise armed forces.

Women have served in the United States military since the colonial period starting with Deborah Samson Gannett in ~1781/1782 (Purdy Monk & Matthews, 2016). The debate over whether women should be allowed to serve in the military has long ended. However the debate over their role in the military has stemmed many of arguments. Many claim women lack the physical strength as men. While other cite that female soldiers are better educated and display higher levels of intelligence. Still the former Department of Defense policy restricted women from assuming any position that directly engaged in combat (Burrelli, 2013). In 2013 this policy was retracted by congress and announced by Defense Sectary Leon Panetta that women would be allowed to participate

It wasn’t until World War II that large number of women served in all branches of the military. There were about 300,000 total that served during World War II. After the war, women were discharged from the service. In 1948, the government passed legislation allowing females in the military. However, the government set a top limit to the number of women serving in the military. No more than two percent of the military force could be women. The percentage of women in the force remained about one percent except when it rose to two percent during the Korean War. The two percent ceiling was removed in 1967. However, the number of women in the armed forced did not significantly rise until the start of the All-Volunteer Force in 1973. The

For over thousands of years’ women were not legally allowed to join the military because they were seen as keepers of the house and as the weaker sex. It was not feminine to be in combat with other men as they could possibly be seen as promiscuous. The United States government didn’t make it legal for women to join the armed forces until 1948 and the first group of women didn’t enlist until 1976 (NPR).

The history behind women in the military, in the late 1700’s women served as battlefield nurses, water bearers, cooks, laundresses and saboteurs. Overtime women were opened to other noncombat jobs. In 1948 the Women's Armed Forces Services Integration Act grants women permanent status in Regular and Rescue Forces in the Military. Executive order ended racial segregation in the arm forces. 1950-1953’s Service women joined the reserves were recalled to active duty during the war. Army nurses served in combat zones and more assigned to hospitals. 1973 the end draft opened to all women, women were promoted to pilot wings armed forces as a major general and women chaplin. The Supreme Court rules unconstitutional of benefits for dependents of military

I will be describing what each branch of the military has done to help improve and make america how it is today. My understanding is that each branch has an enormous impact on how we get to live our life and the things we have the privilege to do on an everyday basis. I greatly appreciate everything that these brave and agile men and women do for us to live the vast life we live.

Throughout history and even during this present time, many countries and societies forbade women from participating in the army and activities women would call commonplace. In Ancient China, and more specifically in the movie Mulan, women were not allowed to join and fight in the army. Women

Women soldiers can be fierce and be feminine, wear mascara and body armor and love to climb out of the helicopters and love to bake cookies at the same time. For many years women were ignored, many do not believe that the service of women in the front lines is helpful. As in the right to vote female citizen did not share the same rights as men a century ago, so has the ability to serve in combat. The ban has approximately closed 53,000 positions for women such as in Brigade Combat Teams in the Army and another 184,000 by Military Occupation Specialty such as Special Forces or tank crews. Many believing in the lack of knowledge and physical endurance has prevented many women from entering the military and being able
