America is a symbol of hope and future. From immigrants first setting foot on American land to the children sitting in school, hope fills their hearts and a promise of a future fills their minds. America provides hope to my generation. Every day we look out of our windows and see a great nation. We see a great nation that was built and founded on hope and a vision of what it could become. Abraham Lincoln saw what America was and had a hope and a vision of how it could be different. He envisioned America without slavery and with equality to people of all races and nationalities. America has shown us that we also have to work for our hopes and our visions. The colonists had a vision of America and they had to fight for it. We wouldn’t have been
What does America represent? Most Americans would say that the United States represents freedom and liberty. According to the first amendment written in the constitution, all citizens have the freedom of religion, speech, and assembly. Others might respond that America represents opportunity. Many come to America for a new start and a new way of life and have the mindset that everything is possible with hard work and determination. You might even hear people say that America represents justice. You may laugh, but this was another founding principle. The United States should stand against any and all who are constricting the rights of any man. The point is that there are many answers to what America represents, but the one answer that you most likely won’t hear is that America represents torture. Although, in 2008 this was a prominent opinion of a good majority of America. The political cartoon “Government Regulation,” by Pat Bagley calls to attention not only the issue of torture in America, but it also shows the reactions and opinions of people at the time. In order to best analyze Bagley’s message, it is necessary to have a further understanding of the events that preceded this cartoon.
America to me is a place where others can come to live, a place of freedom for those who want a great life, where they can live knowing they will have a peaceful life. I appreciate and
To begin, America is known as the land of opportunities and hope. The quote etched into Lady Liberty’s foundation states,
Amid the copious countries on Earth there are not many as developed as America. The pledge to protect justice and freedom has made us a more open-minded and adaptable community. In our country all children can receive an education, everyone has a chance to afford health care, and no one can be denied rights because they are different. The freedom to be yourself and hold your own opinion are not only tolerated, but encouraged. Unlike many less fortunate people we can follow our own religion and strive for our own dreams. Of Course, other places are very successful and formidable, but only a selected few actually promote individuals rights in general. These many attributes contribute to why the American Dream is alive and more well than ever.
What hope is given to Americans from the history? In American history, there were conflicts such as wars, civil rights movement, and multiple attacks through these the hopeful spirit of America shines.
Wealth. Freedom. Equality. The pursuit of happiness and opportunity. From John Winthrop’s “The City Upon A Hill” to Thomas Jefferson’s “The Declaration of Independence”, the term America has been universally defined by these ideals. As a citizen living within this country, I have grown up being taught that upholding these values defines being an American. While this was a generic and naive response to what it means to be American, I simply accepted this because it was what others told me. Looking back, I realize that I blindly accepted this definition because of a false and hopeful view of humanity in general. I did not see the world for what it is, rather, I saw it as filled with blissfully optimistic hope, I idealized the world, dreaming that America and, by extension, Americans were shining beacons of freedom, equality, and opportunity in the world, cultivating my previous
America has been called many things in its span of existence and one of those things is “the land of opportunity”. People from all over the world come to America in order to search for a new life where they can settle and build themselves up from where they came from. The idea of the “American dream” has been around for a long time and I think that idea appeals to people from other countries. Many of my family members immigrated from all over the world in order to live their best lives. This is only a glimpse into their story.
Even though, American seems to be all peaches and roses it’s not. I have my own vision of America. It is for America to be successful by stop giving money to other countries, by helping the penniless and not letting society take over. The U.S. has an 18 trillion debt their debt is so big that they had to make up numbers. This are ways that has caused America not being able to be successful, But this can be reversed.
What gives Americans hope for the future? During the course of American history, the country has faced many hardships such as the Civil Rights Movement, Pearl Harbor, and 9/11; from these events, the nation has grown and is able to look for a hopeful future.
In its prime, America was the model other countries aimed to become. American citizens were not ashamed to be patriotic and proudly stand beside the American flag. No one dared to burn or disgrace the red, white,
1.equality . African americans what so different about them, accept their skin color what is so wrong about that. ” I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” Martin Luther King Jr. need to be equal we live in the same dang country. We need equal rights in this country why because lots of people are disrespected everyday because there is no equality.
Growing up, I was always told to leave the past behind and plan for the future; however, remembering our history allows us to truly prepare for what’s to come. Our hope for the future is that immigrants will come to this country because they chose to, not because it’s their last resort.
America is often seen as the land of opportunities. The classical American dream is sought after like the fountain of youth by immigrants. The history of America is sewed with different immigrant groups fleeing their own country in order for a better life in the new world. Through libertarian ideals, rights and duties guaranteed by our Constitution, the American dream, education ideals and individualization, America are still a growing country that is currently evolving based on changing ethnic and cultural identities.
A long time ago the area now known as our home, the United States of America, got discovered. This unearthing of new ground eventually brought about hope for many individuals seeking a new and diverse life. By the mid to late 1800s America attracted many Europeans. These immigrants strived for an opportunity to make a living with great possibilities, and without negative government interference. Anyone would consider it an understatement to claim that America, during this time, contained great hope for the future of its inhabitance. After all, America’s founding purpose comes from one key element in general, freedom.
To me, the American Founding represents opportunity. When the people of colonial America, led by the Founding Fathers, first set out to become a nation independent from England, the potential of the vast new land stimulated them to create the life they had always dreamed of, free from the authoritarian rule of a monarchy. After settling on a large, unexplored continent separated from the British by an ocean, the Founding Fathers recognized their opportunity to create a country that Enlightenment thinkers had merely theorized under a government that gave people the rights they determined they deserved; this opportunity was available to them because of the great distance that separated them from the rule they refused to emulate and the amount of land they had to spread out on. These pioneers worked hard to establish a representative government that gave the American public rights the Founders believed to be “unalienable” and a voice in the laws that governed them. This determination to utilize these opportunities now allows me, an American citizen, to enjoy the opportunity to publicly practice my religion of choice, voice my opinion in politics, and entertain the possibility of achieving every personal goal I am determined to work hard for.
