My View Of America In Today's Society

1. — America is now a land of freedom and opportunity for the poor. —Americans are portrayed as ambitious, hardworking people to make a better nation by being loyal and opening to new ideas.

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.

Lately, America has been a cruel place. Its suppose to be a place where you make your dreams come true, where you can start over, and where you can accomplish many things. But you can't do these things if America has inequality every where you go. America's inequalities are bad jobs, homelessness, sexism, and racism, I could go on with the wrong in America but all I would be doing is boring you. My vision of America is a place where you don't have any of these inequalities and where you can accomplish everything you've dreamed of.

My vision of America isn’t looking so good. Our government is in 1.3 trillion dollars in debt. We also are having problems with Russia in the past couple of weeks or months to the person reading this. America is also lagging behind wealthy nations and even struggling nations like Greece.

My vision for America is to have a country that fulfills its title as the land of the free. We need more freedom for our future and for our safety. This can be done by liberating more contained liberties and by removing those that imprison our freedom. The two main issues that follow this are healthcare and the military draft.

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

The America I believe in has freedom, loyalty, liberty, and equality. We are patriotic and will fight for our country. We as Americans are proud of who we are and won’t give that up.

It was the Compromise of 1877 that brought reconstruction in the south to an end. The compromise called for the withdraw of federal troops in the southern states, promised that a southern would be appointed as Postmaster General, offered the south federal subsidies, and in return, Rutherford Hayes would become president, and reconstruction would officially be over (Peskin). The closing of one chapter lead to a new one: the birth of modern America., the Gilded Age. Major changes were taking place in the country, almost all being a result of the rapid industrialization that was taking place. Cities thrived with people, most seeking out work. Inventions flourished, light flooded the streets with the widespread availability of electricity and the lightbulb. Time were definitely changing, especially within the social classes of America. The changes effected the classes in many different ways: the wealthy suddenly became wealthier, and the middle class moved up in the ranks, as well. The same could not be said for the lower classes, though, particularly the working-class. For them, times were tough, poverty was widespread and conditions were unsafe in almost any environment they inhabited. Despite the industrial revolution being a positive for many of the social classes in America, it was very detrimental to the working-class in that it lead to urbanization and overcrowding of cities, many people taking jobs in dangerous factories, and a seemingly disorganized family life.

From our own eyes, we can see the changes America has gone through everyday. The history of America is an enormous textbook that is impossible to complete in one semester of history class. Related to every country in the world, people have controversial opinions on America. Some felt America has the best value and she absolutely lived up to her own intentions while some felt America didn’t live up to her promises. However, I still like America even though she has many flaws. I like America because she is a land where opportunities are granted. Anyone who lives or came to America will be given a chance to reach the “American Dream”. America stresses the importance of freedom and individual rights to the best of her behavior. Most important, the multicultural of the land characterizes America as a country that accepts differences and changes.

The question you’re asking me is “What is your vision for America?” Well, I have one big vision for America, but the real question is who can turn that vision into a reality? The answer to that is the American people who truly envision the idea becoming a reality. The most important vision to me would be for America to have peace all across the country. Sure, it’s a far fetched idea, but isn’t that what visions are supposed to be?

I've always wondered, what do people think of when they hear the word "America?" Does the image of a majestic eagle flying across a cloudless sky come to mind? A suburban home with a white picket fence? Or maybe they just think about the seemingly endless amount of McDonalds, who knows? But in all seriousness, what is the general understanding of America, or more specifically, the American Dream? Since there are so many different versions of the American Dream (and each directly correlates to the needs and desires of any particular person), the "Dream" may have become corrupt. For centuries the driving force of America has been the "get rich" mentality, and throughout these centuries American Literature hasn't done their part to help adjust

My vision for America is that someday we come together as one, which means there will be no more fighting ,no more violence in today society, also the army will not have to go out to the other continents and fight a war because we are going to get threaten if we do not go to war and even worse consequences , also that we don’t have to pay for healthcare or any medical bill, which means that every job will have healthcare even the small jobs if they have a big company supporting them or any major company. All the people in jail will stay in jail until their sentence is over and will be on parole for how long they were in jail because they did bad thing they will be consequence no matter what they did. Also the people in the army when they come back will have an option depending how old they are when they leave

Reading books that are about being an American can be very interesting and captivating. They have emotional tales that center around many great characters. While reading The Color Purple by Alice Walker and The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown, the main characters from each book had lived through a difficult era. But, they found their reasons to keep on living. In addition to comparing these two novels, the ideas about being an American can include how they were treated, what their beliefs were, and how they connected with others.

America is the land of opportunities. We are one of the few countries that has some many rights. We can choose our job, our house, our friends and many other things. The dreams of America’s founding fathers seem simple — life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
