Summary: The America I Believe In

Dinesh D’Souza wrote What’s So Great About America after the attack of September 11, 2001. After the attacks, most people grieved, even if they knew on one that died; however, people also banded together and fought against a group they thought were attacking them. He wrote this book so that pride for America would radiate from the people long after the attacks; that they also would not so easily forget what they did for the country.

As a kid I have to many things to say about what america means to me, but in life I can always decide so america to me is the best land in the world because we have had a major history of many important people, everyday people risk their life here and protect us.Many people die for us to live, with all the history in america I can try to sum it down a bit to important times in history, George Washington our 1st president of the United States of America, born February 22, 1732 and sadly died December 14, 1799. After his death America changed for the better.

America is a wonderful place to live, because we are free. Freedom is important, and many people in other countries do not have much freedom. I am glad I have a place like this to grow up in; where I know that I can be equal with other races and other genders. Also, I am glad I have a place like this that will respect me and I know it will be a great place to have my children grow up in.

Our America by LeAlan Jones and LLoyd Newman makes readers feel bad about children deaths in Chicago which inspires people to help even though it makes readers feel bad.

Social workers fulfill a unique role in policy creation because that is a time for them to advocate for the oppressed or individuals who are attempting to cope with the stresses of everyday life. Most social workers have the opportunity to work hands on in the field with clients during some point in their career, and during that time they are able to get a clear understanding of the problem the client is experiencing. In The Other America, Harrington makes mention of the poor and how they lost their connections to the world; that clearly depicts the importance of the social workers’ involvement with the creation of policy (Harrington, 1962). Since those living in poverty have been referred to as “politically invisible,” social workers are

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 connection between the Virtues Franklin discusses in his writings and the "American" values definitely defer in modern day America but compare in some ways. The first example that I noticed was in the "The Way to Wealth" section, from one of the quotes of "Poor Richard Almanac" The line discusses the mindset that people should have towards working. The quote reads, "Drive thy business, let not that drive thee, and early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." (Franklin 459). This connection connects to some Americans who have worked hard to make business and basically coming from nothing. This also connects to America because it differs from some lazy Americans who try to find ways to become rich without doing

Fixing America. One heck of a thing. Many problems of America reflect upon most of the world, some on just America. We will focus on both in this essay.

Syntax: “the study of the rules for the formation of grammatical sentences in a language” (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/syntax). The idea of analyzing the grammar in a poem, one of the few pieces of literature that finds a lack of attention grammar acceptable, many would find it to be absurd, although in reality it much about the reality it is quite the opposite. The amount of attention to detail actually reveals how far in depth the writer is in touch with their emotion and/or thought of their own mind they are entrenched in. Throughout the majority of the poem the author interchanges between proper grammar to problematic sentences; including fragments, sentence fragments, run

What makes the book, Post American World, by Fareed Zakaria so interesting is the fact that many of the points made about the decline of America and what needs to be changed is the direct commotion of the current political campaigns. As a young growing male developing my understanding of how the country and countries work and interact the idea of the Post American World, allowed me to understand why the election this year is so different compared to the past. Although I was not as present in the past election, the commotion that has been caused to this year has brought more attention to me and the world than it has before. Within the book the idea that the U.S. has been doing so well and has created the best of the best things, times have started

“I believe in America. America has made my fortune.” The words hang for a moment as Amerigo Bonasera recounts the story of his only daughter’s beating to a mysterious figure across the room. The darkness initially shrouds Bonasera’s face, but as the camera recedes into the background, it is evident that he is uncomfortable in his position. He is asking a favor of the man opposite him, who is soon revealed to be the Godfather Vito Corleone, to seek justice upon the men who brutalized his daughter. Remaining apathetic to his plight, Corleone ponders upon the request and wonders why Bonasera has come to him instead of the police. This initial question posed by Corleone shows much insight into the issues faced by Bonasera, and to a larger extent,

September of 1620, the year I, George Soule, left England on the Mayflower. All anybody wanted to do was start a new life! So what we did was set sail to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. There were 102 passengers on the ship. About 40 people were separatists, or Saints. Today we call them Pilgrims. They wanted to start a new church in the new world. The puritans left England because we wanted to practice religious freedom.

The United States is known for the American Dream. The belief of this was that every citizen, no matter the class, rights, race, or gender, should have the same opportunities to succeed. People wanted to start their own business, get an education, start a family, and pay to send them off to college. The motto went from, “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” from the Ford administration to “success is not given, it is earned” which was created during Obama’s presidency. This dream has become increasingly difficult to achieve over the past few years, unless you are one of the top 1% super wealthy citizens. Corporations have been attempting to take control of the government and to make sure that they stay on top while everyone else struggles to

America, the ideal model of the world, brought a lot of attention to itself after the victory of World War II. This attention brought great circumstance to the nation, but, everything comes with a price. The Short American Century: A Postmortem shows the rise and fall of America after the Second World War and how its relations with the world corroded. Major incidents like the Cold War, isolationism, racism, mass production, and so forth is what is accounted for in the American century. Power does not last forever, for America, it is a fact that does not come easily.

The time is night, but the lights of this advertisement’s city illuminate both the foreground and the background amidst the darkness. The bottom of a modern looking building occupies a major part of the image, seemingly inflated to the point where it disproportionately larger than anything else in this city. The busy street next the the building is packed, looking like a jumbled mess of shadow and car lights. The sidewalk between the street and the building is mostly defined by a shadowy mass of people walking. This inhuman mass is contrasted by the clear presence of three people. Two seem to be a couple, here a man and a woman, their faces expressing a sense of happiness. Opposing them is a man who gesticulating towards the two; his face
