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 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.

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

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.

America before World War 2 and after World War 1 fell into the great depression due to the stock market crashing.

Why would the residents of the United States vote to allow a killer to legally roam the streets? Why would the people of this great nation allow another poison to be offered to the general public? The past of the U.S. has not served it well in deciding the fate of the future of its generations. There are already two killers running rampant on the streets of this great nation. Tobacco and alcohol kill millions of people each year. They destroy the lives of families by spreading cancer, alcoholism, liver disease, addiction and abuse. We have tried to control these two dangerous infections in our past with prohibition and laws to limit the sales to adults. These attempts to curb the destructive nature of these two substances have all but been thrown to the way side by our society. Now alcohol and tobacco have not only infected every generation since their freedom; the U.S. will be living with their destruction for generations to come. This begs the question, Why should the U.S. allow marijuana, a third poison, to be legal for recreational use? Although it does seem to help in the medical field, such as pain relief and seizure medication, that does not give this generation the right to allow citizens to legally buy it from every local convenience store. This research paper will show that marijuana is dangerous to this nation’s youth, a gateway drug to hardcore drug use, and laws that will help to protect the future generations will be discarded like the laws of the past. These

America has changed immensely since WWI. Our policies of isolationism and distance from other countries have evolved into open involvement, large trade agreements, and a booming economy. However, as we have become more involved as a nation, we have used our military less sparingly. The American military is used to garrison other countries, allied and warzone. Our military is being used to oversee diplomatic meetings that we have no national or economic ties too. This leads to the question of when American military involvement or force is justified when America is not at war. The logical answer is that American military force is only justified through self-defense as well as humanitarian intervention.
