Argumentative Essay: Is America Dead?

Foreign Policy is something the United States takes very seriously. It often carries a lot of controversy. Throughout United States history presidents have made decisions that have always risen much debate. In 1945 the atomic bomb was dropped in Japan. In 1954 the United States sent troops into Vietnam. Both major moves in foreign policy. Both heavily debated. Today foreign policy is more modest and put into higher regards when it comes to lives at stake. President George W. Bush (R) and President Barak Obama (D) have very different point of views when it comes to foreign policy. Foreign policy is a widely controversial topic throughout all of politics. In 2002 President Bush announced that the United States forces would be invading Iraq in retaliation to the terror attacks that took place in New York City on the morning of September 11, 2001. This move by Bush would be seen widely as a poor decision. He would be criticized for misleading United States forces into Iraq. Bush lead his argument claiming that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and were a true threat to American safety. Many men and Women would fall fighting in Iraq. Bush would approve the operative against Saddam Hussein

The “American dream,” a promise of the ability to turn your life from rags to riches if you try hard in the United States of America, has been the definition of what it means to be an American. But over time it the American dream has changed and its pledge perhaps more viable than ever. This is due to the simple fact that America as a nation has evolved over time and the core values which its people encompass are a reflection of the times. So as an American how do we define ourselves and our nation outside of the American dream? America has been known over time as a “big brother”- protector of mankind. Yet many of our citizens did not have equal rights until the 1960’s and it took the fourteenth amendment to guarantee equal protection

The Electoral College was created in created in 1787, though there has been lots of amendment done since then. It was created as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. I don’t agree with the opinion that Electoral College system should be changed, rather I believe that the Electoral College system should be amended and modified where the delegates should vote in according to what the majority of the population in the state and district to which they represent want, these would insure that presidential elections occur according to the democratic process, citizens should be well educated and informed when voting for representative for the

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.

Mike’s American is a cozy and welcoming multi-story institution of an eatery, serving delectable American fare. Appetizer options, such as the hot spinach and artichoke dip with parmesan and jack cheeses and the crunchy, spicy firecracker shrimp, are fun to share and make for great starters. Popular entrée items include the beer-marinated drunken ribeye with redskin potatoes, the roast half chicken in a brown butter sauce and the hickory-grilled fish of the day. Mike’s American also has a tantalizing array of burgers, including the vegetarian-friendly veggie patty made with quinoa, rice, black beans and beets and the classic bacon cheeseburger topped with homemade, spicy “wicked sauce”. And it doesn’t get more American than with the deep dish

That night, Andre stayed with a Loyalist attorney named Joshua Smith. While not permitted to wear civilian attire, he got clothes and road horseback with Smith towards Tarrytown, New York near British lines. Smith left Andre towards the end of the trip and when Andre was close to his destination three men stopped him. These men questioned Andre and instead of showing his pass that he was John Anderson, Andre trusted the men and revealed who he really was. The men, who Andre thought were Loyalists were part of the American Army, searched Andre and found the information given to him by Arnold in his shoes. He was captured and taken to the American commanding officer who informed General Washington and Arnold of the news. Arnold immediately

America is a country that prides itself on being the best country I the world no matter how they have to do it. I do believe that America is considered a, “light upon a hill” for the world but I do not believe that God is happy with America. I believe it is because America provides more opportunity to the people, at least more than any other country and most of us believe in freedom. God would not be happy with America because of how we achieved the land and how we go about our lives. Yes we promote freedom but are everyone completely free. No. Everyone is not considered equal nor treated that way and God believes that we are all brothers and sisters. I do believe being put on this world is a test and as people as a whole we have failed. America

The United States was founded on a collection of core values that were officially declared on July 4th, 1776. America held steadfast in those beliefs and a nation was built with those basic building blocks, which helped America become one of the world’s most coveted places to live. Over the years, the values have diminished so much that America’s founding fathers would not recognize the country that they fought so hard to keep from the British. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are no longer connecting themes among American society.

America, the brave and the strong; when many think of America, these are the things that come to mind. Of course they would think about all the good and prosperous things such as; a rather large and strong military, the outstanding amount of charities, and some of the most powerful and great leaders to go down in history. How couldn’t they? Although there are all sorts of great aspects there are also many down falls to America. America has a huge amount of debt as a whole, some major rough spots in the economy, and a large problem with crimes that deal with shooters.

When you think of America, what comes to mind first? It might be hotdogs, apple pie, baseball, Uncle Sam, and the Statue of Liberty. To dive in even further, you might say freedom, liberty, or democracy. While many people describe America as a democracy, we really and truly are not. Thomas Jefferson once said “A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty nine.” Is that what we have? Is American government really a mob rule of the 51 percent or are the American people mistaken?

Have you ever thought why many people don’t vote? Some people don’t vote because they feel like their vote doesn’t matter nor will it change things. Others are just too afraid to voice their opinion because they feel like they would get punished for saying it. But people have to realize that their vote actually does matter. Their one little vote can determine certain things. Others should not be afraid to voice their opinion nor speak their mind because people have freedom of speech.

This presidential camping has been both the best and worst thing that has happened in American politics in a long time. To be clear I have nothing against any of the candidates and believe all serve some purpose. However, the actions taken during the presidential campaign have left me utterly disturbed and also surprisingly delighted, so I thought I would share.

I'm just sitting here this morning wondering what the heck happened to Donald Trump's lead. The news (which is something I have no faith in) keeps reporting that Trump is getting his butt kicked in the poles! Never once do I here any negative issues with Hillary's campaign. On the other hand, all I hear about Trump is negative stuff, but that is not what shocks me, because that has been going on since the beginning. What shocks me is how all of a sudden; Trumps numbers are taking a drive and somehow he has lost all of his supporters, NO WAY. Most don't give a crap what he has said, they have defended him and I don't think they would walk away when nothing has changed on his part (same message).

The America I believe in is a topic that has come in the minds of many people living in America today. Freedom is one thing we have thought about and a topic others around the world cannot relate to. We have different types of freedom, for example free education, healthcare, and technology. I have faith that America with become the Place people have always believe in. I have faith we will learn from our mistakes and make it better. “I believe in America because we have great dreams- and because we have the opportunity to make those dreams come true”-Wendell L. Wilkie. The quote from Wilkie shows we are able to change for the better.

Beginning with Nixon and continuing with Reagan after the radical changes of American culture in the sixties and seventies, Americans would begin to shift towards more conservative ideas unsure of the rapid radical change. In the 1994 mid term elections, the American people would elect a congress of mostly conservatives for the first time in nearly 50 years. At the core of this success would be the Contract with America. A set of promises and goals devised by conservative congressional representative Newt Gingrich. In 2000 the Republicans (modern conservative party) would retain the Congress and capture the White House. Conservatism has been a leading political ideology since the inception of the United States to
