The Evolution Of America's Change From Generation To Generation

The ability to be free made this country into the melting pot it is today and that ability still brings many immigrants who believe in the “American Dream” to the country. Today freedom is often overlooked because all of us are use to it, but in many countries freedom is just the “American Dream”.

America was not always the successful country that it is today and some Americans were once not actually from the United States. Instead, the states stemmed off from different cultures around Europe, the land being split between many big contenders like Britain, Spain, and even France. The thirteen colonies were the start of the US and would eventually become rebellious enough to break away from the system that they had once lived under. The states undergone construction to build a new government and a new way of life for the generations that would come. After two hundred and thirty nine years of practicing and figuring out our way of life, America has both succeeded and dropped in many areas. The definition of America has certainly changed throughout the years, but one thing

America has evolved in the rate at which people are going hungry and the concern as to why this is occurring. The perceptions that have been made by individuals is the fact that the people that are going hungry are the homeless. These people are said to be generally unemployed and don’t have the necessities that others inquire. Many don’t think about the people that have jobs and families, but just don’t make enough to pay the bills and put food on the table. America has had this perception on what “hunger” is, but now that same perception is changing. It doesn’t matter who the people are, but rather how the hunger in America has changed over the years. In the article, “Shift to ‘Food

What is America’s gift to our generation? If you ask anyone in America this question, they must ponder about for a long time. Why? Because this question has a different meaning to each one of us. America’s gift may be freedom, or it may mean safety. Although, each of us may have a different answer to this question, we all owe our thanks to the same people and place: America and its veterans. Without our veterans, we would never have such as great place to live and survive in. Without America, we wouldn’t have the freedom, opportunity, and safety that we take for granted. The hardships of America’s past have brought forth a great abundance of these gifts. Our country became a great paradise, people have the key to having a great life. All

Over the generations, what people think being an American means has changed. The change for some people was nothing, but for others it could have been drastic. The things we do has definitely changed, like outside doing activities to playing games or on your phone constantly. The question here, is “How have generations changed what it means to be American?”, also “Do Americans from different time periods see American Identity differently?”. Overall, through the generations the thought of American Identity has changed and stayed the same in different ways.

America’s gift to my generation is the gift of freedom and equality. America’s gift of freedom falls under the gift of the freedom to use the internet and the free internet, the gift of racial and sexual equality, and the gift of the maintenance of freedom.

Many times when there is not much to talk about, an older person would bring up a tale from when they were younger. Depending on the listener they usual disagree or agree with the storyteller. For me this occurs a lot since I came from a first generation of immigrants. My parent’s generation mostly discussed many topics: traditions, childhood, society, technology and so on. But although we have an obvious time gaps, my generation starves for what the old generation

When I think about the greatest gift that has be given to our country, one thing that comes to mind is freedom. Due to the sacrifice that Veterans and current services men and women have made we have the freedoms we have today. The Freedom to go to the grocery store, clothing stores, dinner, and more, most American take for granted each and every day. Additionally, when I think of the work freedom the word free stands out to me.

America's gifts to my generation are our freedom, our soldiers, and the promise of our security. Without these, America would be nothing like it is today. However, perhaps the biggest gift we have received is that of pride for our land of liberty and its people.

In the United States, the workforce has been demanding their prospective employees to have a master’s degree to even be considered for a job. The value placed on higher education as has changed over the course of history. As we continue to evolve, the laws on education as a whole will constantly change and there will be more requirements. People have already predicted that the current generation will have to obtain their PhD in order to get their dream job. We can infer that since the length requirement is constantly changing, officials will also make the curriculum a little bit more challenging.

There are many gifts America has given my generation, such as Freedom, New Technology, and the New President. These are very good reasons about the gifts of America. Freedom is one good reason of a gift because without freedom what would we do? Every single month there making new phones or computers, so I think new technology is a great gift too. There has been a whole lot of problems with our new president but anyway those are various reasons of the many gifts America has given my generation.

There are the positives of having freedom as well as negatives. Living in the United States you are not required to do anything as for example China it is a state law that makes them learn martial arts. We have the freedom over here to do as we wish in most situations, like we can go to college, we can work even though they set certain hours that we can work but then again we can pick a shift. Having your freedom is the most important thing in the world because it gives you the right to do as you wish. To me I think that some people take their freedom for granted, doing stupid stuff like committing a crime that they get locked up for. We all have certain things that we enjoy and even though

Liberty gives you the freedom to find your own happiness. Personal liberty is an individual to do whoever she/he pleases. In a short story called “The Man in a Case” by Anton Chekhov, a character named Byelikov is consistent of the way he lives. Byelikov was man that strictly played by the rules. For someone that is freely but seemed unhappy, he was scared to take risk because he wanted to be ready unexpected. A book named Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, is about the people of the World State having to accept what was given and told to them. They were not individually happy because everyone is counted as a whole and must share the same satisfaction to be stable. Everyone deserves to have their own happiness no matter what. Is a certain amount of personal liberty necessary for happiness? All of personal liberty is necessary for happiness because it brings happiness, satisfaction, and individualism that leads to opportunities.

Being free can give the peace of mind that you did your best, not someone else’s. In the world we live in today, not a lot of people are free. There is so many standards and laws that make sure we are not free. We are given the illusion that we are, just like the grand inquisitor suggested. Our ideas and morals are controlled by religion, television, laws, and society as a whole. They control from where we live and how far in the social ladder we can climb to what we wear and where we eat. Technology has made us even worse. As far as freedom of speech goes, we are still aware that there are something’s we shouldn’t say. For physical freedom people will still slave over jobs that they do not like because society says they have to work. We eat what is socially acceptable, we watch what others say is good. Religion controls what one’s morals are, what they see as correct and wrong. Our freedom is no better than Oedipus’, who believed all his choices were completely his own doing. We are so sure that we are doing what is right we do not look for truth. Our seeming freedom of choice has blinded us from searching for the actual freedom. This is not necessarily a bad thing. There is union and unified systems that allow us to have a working society. The majority believes in the system. They are following the truths are given and live happy lives knowing that they

America is said to be built on the backs of immigrants, taking the world's poor, hungry, and tired and giving them a place of refuge and opportunity. Being a first generation Russian Jewish American I grew up in a very traditional and religious household in which I learned Russian before English. I lived with my family in a basement apartment in Brooklyn barely getting by, having many family members watch over me, while my parents worked hours on end to make ends meet. Looking back on my earlier family life, it's amazing how far my family has come, and how much we have adapted and modernized. Throughout middle and high school, we learned early American history, specifically the large waves of immigration of Jews to the United States in the early twentieth century, and another wave in the seventies. Being a sophomore at the University of Maryland and meeting hundred of kids, and being around thousands on campus its crazy to see all the different backgrounds and groups of people have come to this establishment of higher learning. How did so many young adults from so many different backgrounds make it all in one place, and how have the different groups of people both generational, and immigrant take living our modern world and trying to find impact and wanting to make a difference in the world.
