America's Many Gifts To My Generation

I believe that America’s gift to my generation is freedom, technology, useful objects and utensils. I think that my generation has taken a lot for granted, we have many rights and have many things people didn’t have before but were made for future generations such as mine.

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.

In my generation teen’s and kids are accepting of people’s sexuality and ethnicity. The gift of acceptance is still slowly opening. Being accepted can lower the percentages of depression and suicides. America’s gift opened up a new world to opportunities for all people. Acceptance is great and i think most people would agree. America’s gift to my generation is acceptance.

America has gifted my generation with a lot of good things. However, with every good thing, bad things always follow. America has gifted me with freedom, medicine that I have access to when I’m ill, equal rights, and a roof over my head. On the flip side, America has gifted me with the fear of terrorist attacks, racist people, and not being able to speak my opinion without being judged.

America’s gift to my generation is freedom to all, a good education for all, and hope. Hope is that thing that never leaves. Hope is that thing that is able to push you out of bed in the morning. All the kids that have no families and live on the street, they have hope to keep them going. Hope that they are blessed with spectacular education, a good meal to eat everyday, and a loving heart warming family. That’s what America can provide. The gift is not being like some other countries where you are having to be trained and enrolled into the military while you’re still little kids. In some other countries, you don’t even get to have the job you want, you are assigned a job that is chosen for you by the government. Not having to be like those

When I see a skyscraper in a city, it reminds me of America; it stands taller than other nations. Like a skyscraper, America was built up from scratch by people who saw potential in its future. Our founding fathers drew the blueprint of America, suggesting that our colonies could unite to form one monumental building. From that blueprint, our Constitution was created which I believe is America’s gift to my generation.

Have you ever thought about what America has done for your generation, and what that represents? I have, and America has given my generation freedom. Recently I have asked myself these two questions, “Are we actually free? Are we actually allowed to make our own decisions?” I have thought about it and we are free, we are allowed to make our own decisions, and we have equal rights. “How do I know this?”, you ask. I know this because if it wasn’t true then our nationwide motto wouldn’t be, “America, land of the free, home of brave”.

America’s gift to our generation are the freedoms we get here in America. Some countries don’t even let their people have any rights or freedoms. But we are different, and as our own separate nation, we give our people rights to many things. Freedoms to many things, because we are America. America gives us the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech, the freedom of press, the right to assemble, the right to petition government, and the right to bear arms. These are only a few of the freedoms and rights we have here in America.

America’s gift to my generation is we have individuality, we can bear arms, we have the right to vote, and we have freedom. Some countries have to wear specific clothing, they can’t have guns in their houses, or they are ruled by a dictator or king. America has opportunities and options to make our own decisions. We vote and aren’t influenced by one specific person, we vote and choose our representatives for the president, governor, mayor, and and any other political role. Some people that are in our military are related to us in some way.

In America we have so many opportunities that we do not acknowledge each day, but if we do we most likely take them for granted. Most days we go on and do everything like we do any other day, we almost never stop what we are doing and talk about the things we have here in America. We are only focused on how many likes we get on photos, how many followers we have, and how we look everyday. We have many gifts in our generations because we can be whatever we want to be, free to do whatever we want to do, and have a very good army that protects our land while we do what we want to do.

America has contributed many things to my generation. America is truly lucky to have troops and veterans, for they have been amicable to my generation. One thing they have given is improved women's rights. Before my generation, women weren’t totally equal, but people before me have worked on this.

Americas gift to my generation is technology. Technology can be a phone, a computer, TV, etc. Some perceive technology as evil and others perceive it as upright. Technology can be used for learning what you learn in school. Also, technology can be both for learning right and wrong.

I believe America’s gift to my generation is freedom. We don’t have to go through many wars to keep our freedom. We won’t have to fight England for our freedom again. We won’t have to go through the violent bloodshed of the World Wars. This was given to us from past generations of Americans that went all around the world so we could stay a free country and not be overruled by another country. Men and women risked their lives so we wouldn’t have to change our religion, change the government, or change the economy. This generation won’t have to fight for freedom, we won’t have to fight for women’s suffrage. We can have our freedoms without having to fight for them. But yet, we still have people in Afghanistan fighting for those freedoms

America has given us cars, trucks, helicopters, jets, airplanes, buses, and, tanks. America has given us a lot of things like even cloths, rags. We even have phones, tablets, and computers. America has given me my life. America has all so given me school to learn and to get a good job so I can get money to survive.

Granted is a word we often use, but don’t nearly understand. America does so much for us every day. I am so blessed for everything I have and enjoy daily. America’s gifts to my generation is the right to discover my future for myself and that people are so kind, plus all the luxuries. I can dream, and know that have a shot, and have citizens helping me all the time.
