Jason Anson's Bash America

What it means to be an American has nothing to do with race, gender, size, origin, etc. Being an American solely relies on how far we have came as a country to call the United States of America a home, how we have fought through blood, sweat, and tears; depressions,

America offers so much to the people who live in the U.S., but America will always be full of criticism, violence, and people who are offended by everything. America still seems to manage to be one of the world's best nations. The first Americans planned America to be as successful as it is, but for America to be more peaceful. America is not one of the most peaceful places, but it is not the most dangerous place to live. Even political parties lie and cheat each other. A lot of the Americans are greedy, because they take advantages of what America offers to their citizens. Even though America is not perfect I am still glad to live in the U.S.

America Is Not So Great Americans have been breaded to believe America is the greatest country in the world. America is a place of the freedom and possibilities, an outside looking in a very desirable place to live. However, America is not as great as Americans believe. Sure Americans have a wider range of freedom then most countries, but has plenty of issues that will repulse others from coming to the land of the free. Issues such as women’s rights, racism, and discrimination plague U.S. citizens nearly each day and that should change now.

America was created by ingenuity that helped win our freedom, and built on moral standards that are all but loist today. We need to get back to what made our nation great. We have become so in tuned with ourselves that we forgot what we used to be. We used to believe in true freedom and now we are slaves to our own greedy wants. We need to break free from the social norms and become what we used to be.

Anand Giridharadas the author of the article “Who or What is an american” discusses the greatness of America for example the author says “ its willingness, day after day, generation after generation, to give itself over to new faces in exchange for the chance to remain

“America is not the greatest country in the world anymore” I hear continuously, the politicians in large rallies market how great America is, however I just don’t see it. We have the worst health in the entire world, civil conflict, highest payments toward education yet we have the least educated, and amoral exists in legislation all the way down to the state and local governments. We have public outcry and as a country have managed to refine democracy into something like our worst enemy. References have been made, and citizens within have revealed intentions of discontent.

What make America great. All the soldiers that are risking their lives to fight for this country. All the people volunteering their time to help homeless. For all the people that make this country great.

There was once a little boy who always dreamed of a place being better than where he was. He dreamed of going to school each and everyday and not getting to work at such a young age. He had high hopes of being someone in life like a doctor or a lawyer. But he could have never fulfilled that dream because of expenses. He had always heard of the Great Americas, so one day he said well i'll go check out how great the Americas truly are. That one young man was my Father. He had came to the United states to work and help maintain his family of (12) in Mexico. My father's story is a true sad story that I can probably talk about forever. But the real question asked here today is what makes america great.

Myth of America: The Land of Opportunity America is viewed by many people around the world as the land of opportunity. This suggests that America is a country where anyone can succeed, live prosperously and have freedom; that if only they can make their way here, all their dreams will come true. People believe America is where they will find freedom; a place where you have freedom of religion, freedom of speech, political autonomy, etc. Every day there is talk of America’s illegal immigration problem; people are dying to come here, figuratively and sometimes literally. These stories of unwanted immigrants coming to the US have been told by politicians and the media for a long time. However, people never hear about the hardships some of these

America is a great country for many reasons, such as having freedom. Some of the freedom that we have are freedom of speech, religion, press and much more. America is a great country, because of the different ethnicity that country has. Also, theirs many opportunities to grow. An example is

America has given our generation a lot, but almost none of it is positive. We have received technology, which is a great gift. We also have the gift of public education. There are many things we have that aren’t good, however. We all have a fear of our loved ones being attacked in their daily lives, a fear of corrupt leaders accidentally starting a nuclear war, and a fear of the actual real world. The news and media are set to feed us the information that they want us to believe, showing us only one side of a story and making the country believe what they want us to believe. Our country also gave illegal immigrants the opportunity to become citizens by going through a paid college or joining the military, whereas if we were to immigrate

America is a great country we have a strong military, rich economy, leading in technological advancements and regardless of all the things going on with President Trump in office; we are a nation rich with all kinds of different cultures. However, just because I agree that we are a great nation does not mean I do not feel that we need to change. I will say the only good thing that came out of this election is that it showed all of us that there is a problem within our country

“Each generation goes further than the generation preceding it because it stands on the shoulders of that generation. You will have opportunities beyond anything we’ve known.”-Ronald Reagan. The citizens living in 2017 of America is living in an ocean of opportunities to revise any imperfections that the past has

The United States of America has always been seen as an unlikely success. From the beginning of the country when Americans fought for independence from the more powerful England to recent times with riots and protests across the country, America has held strong as one unified country. America is a successful country because the citizens, despite having differing views and opinions can share general ethical beliefs and unite together in tough situations.
