In some cases America is a Utopia. In America we as people have rights to do things we want. We can vote for whom we think should lead our country, men and women. We can say what whatever we want. We can marry or be with whomever we want. We can buy whatever we like. We can get the healthcare we need when needed. In other cases America is a Dystopia. They say we’re free, but are we really? We vote but does anyone actually listen to our voice? We can say whatever we want but it has a limit. We can marry or be with whomever we want gender not mattering but people judge you if you don’t do what’s traditional. You can buy whatever you like if you got the education to be able to afford it. We can get the healthcare we need but it’s expensive and
America today is not a happy utopia of agreement and friendship. Thomas Paine's 1791 description of America no longer proves to be true, if it ever even was true. In 2016, America has large political tensions, unfair distribution of wealth, and unjust laws can cause violent riots.
America is more of a dystopia because we have the power and money to do whatever we want too. In Anthem they had 1 ruler he had the money and power at his fingertips he could have ended the word mad it heaven made it hell and he chose hell he wanted to make sure that they knew that they had no purpose but to do what the people with purpose tell them to do.
America is not universally free. This is easily proven with examples from a variety of subjects. For example, take LGBT rights. De jure, gay marriage is legal nationwide. But de facto, when one looks at the social reality dealt with by people who are not heterosexual, one finds that not everyone has the realistic ability to do so. Even on a de jure level, there are the “bathroom bills,” passed by North Carolina and looked at by many states, designed to limit transgender people’s ability to use the bathroom.
The shame on the Democrats for not attending the inauguration seems to be childish. Pete Aguilar and Kamala Harris recognized Trump as legitimate. I am delighted that my White House will be occupied by sound and sane soul and glamour and gracious First Lady. Trump has a chance to turn sixteen years of bad governing making America Good Again. I look forward scrapping Common Core, re-negotiate foreign trade, correct currency manipulation, stimulate the dismantle of the Euro Zone, correct trade deals, negate relationship with Saudi Arabia who are responsible for ISIS and spread of Wahhabism and encourage Iranians to dispose a government who implemented the idea of suicide bombers as a correct view of Sharia Law. The green light of human bombing began with Khomeini who justified sacrifice as duty Syria picked up on the idea, and used it to kick the Americans out during President Reagan Administration. Unfortunately, Americans vacated void of addressing the ideology using the human bomb. Forwarding the clock, the radical ideology of Islam spread throughout Arab states, Africa, and Europe. Arabs successfully sold the idea that America evil in nature, and proceed to propagandize and managed a false perception.
The America I believe in has freedom. Freedom is a thing where people who live in the country such as “America” can have the ability to do most of the things they want to do most, meaning you just go out and rob a store, or murder someone. According to (whatever website I found it on)“The Four Freedoms” and they are freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.
The first effort to control immigration was not to bar immigrants entirely, or turn back those who wanted to travel to the United States, but to set standards for immigration and separate the desirable newcomers who would add to the country from undesirables which would only tear it down. The very first immigration enforcement enacted by Congress was in 1798, and allowed the present to deport anyone that was deemed dangerous to the United States.
The United States government needs a strong base and a government that will protect its people. The people will not survive if there are not officials. Anti-federalists wanted each state to have its own local government which in turn makes the states less unified. If each state has different laws and there is no centralized government than there is no similarity between the states other than being on the same continent. The states have to remain united and have a strong central government so that all Americans have the same rights and laws that they are governed by.
Today’s society is nothing like we want it to be and how we are supposed to define America. We are supposed to be “the land of the free and the home of the brave” but it is nothing like that. We have people who are considered a minority because of skin color, slavery, laws blocking the constitution, and are fed lots of lies from government. We are living in a country that is unfair and is slowly falling apart day by day. This country is completely divided and there is only laws protecting certain people. Our country has the dominant and the oppressed and there is rarely anyone in between.
America is great because of things like freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the oh so famous American Dream, but what if that dream was an idea and nothing more? America has had its ups and downs. For example, the Great Depression was a horrible time for Americans of all backgrounds.Certain books like Of Mice and Men show how hard it was to live in this time period. It also shows us how dreams-like the American Dream- were lies. In the novel, Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck believes the American Dream is unattainable.
We as Americans live in the land of the free and the home of the brave many governments are a lot different than ours and main reason why that is, is because many governments are ether communist or don’t have near as many rights and privileges as us.
The land of the free and the home of the brave. Although many other countries are free, America is as the free nation who fights for their people. America does fight for its people, but is willing to fight with anyone who disagrees with it’s ideas, or if another nation has something it wants. This once great nation has taken its rights too far and letting its citizens do whatever they please not only to other nation’s citizens, but to other Americans. With obesity rates rising every year and more suicides from bullying than ever, it’s going to take a long time for the American dream to be realistic again.
America is not one of the greatest place to live in, nor is Canada, Europe or Asia but, to Thomas Moure, there was a place that was classified as perfect. A perfect place to some people right now will include money, friends, family and power but in utopia it is the total opposite. The citizens of utopia do not care for money or power. They focus more on each other and how to make everyone united in the same place. A perfect place has every citizens living in it to feel happy and enjoy where they are. Utopia is a better place for its equality on citizens their knowledge on agriculture and methods of rehabilitation.
Taking advantage of the rights by disrespecting those who fought and died for those rights is wrong and disrespectful. Just because they are football players does not give them the right to take advantage of those rights. They believe that just because they are rich and famous, they can just keep do whatever they want. It is not fair to those who fought for Americans rights to be disrespected and Americans should stand together. It may be a first amendment right to protest, but it does not, give them the right to kneel. There are others way players can protest that do not involve disrespecting America.
Demcracy is one of the leading forms of government in this age. It is the idea that everyone gets a say on the government. Although it has its advantages, demoracy has its own set of disadvanteages as well, like every form of government. With this in mind, it is usually is still seen as on eof the best forms of government.
This Article takes a gander at three arrangements of experiences between Mexican Americans and the state in mid-twentieth century Texas and California - trials including miscegenation, school integration, and jury prohibition - to see the way state on-screen characters utilized Mexican Americans' ostensible white personality under the law to make and secure Jim Crow practices. To start with, it contends that whiteness worked fundamentally as a "Caucasian cloak" to darken the acts of Jim Crow and to influence them to seem kind, regardless of whether in the jury or school settings. If Mexican Americans were white, at that point they were spoken to insofar as whites were spoken to. Second, it exhibits that Mexican American social liberties pioneers
