The Importance Of Living In America

I do not really know what brought about this outburst but as an immigrant of this country for many years, I am proud of the different cultures that has evolved from the day I first came here.

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.

I woke up looking around not knowing what was going on. I looked around realizing that I was in an unknown bed. Panicking at first I tried to find my bearings, but I calmed down quickly as I watched my mother walk into the room.

I believe what people decide to do with their spare time says a lot about who they are and what motivates them. There is many hobbies people choose to engage in, a couple I enjoy are reading and participating in relay for life. I love reading because it allows me to be taken to another place. Also Relay for Life is important to me because of all of the amazing things the American Cancer Society does for patients. There is many more reasons that I choose to spend a lot of my time doing these two activities.

In the personal essay, “Two Ways to Belong in America,” by Bharati Mukherjee, there are two different cultural views between sisters, Bharati and Mira. Bharati and Mira grew up in India, but both moved to America. The sisters have the same cultural background, but have different cultural views now. They have different views on the current debate over the status of immigrants. They both have lived in the United States for 35 years. Bharati married someone from Canada, Mira married an Indian student. “In Iowa City in 1963, I married a fellow student, an American of Canadian percentage,” both Bharati and Mira married fellow students. (Mukherjee 70) “We dressed alike, in saris,” Bharati and Mira used to dress alike, but Bharati changed the way she dressed, Mira did not.

America is the only place that I believe I can do as I wish and I am not judged by who I am. As the veterans risk their lives for our freedom and liberty, I stand and praise them for their bravery. I will say the pledge of allegiance, and sing the national anthem. Thank you for protecting our country and lives.

What I gathered from personal opinion from the statement was, America today is broken in many different aspects. Let me elaborate on that. I feel that the way the world is today is corrupted by our media and extra pleasures we feel are necessary for our everyday lives. Men and women today are in disarray because of the upbringing they have had. I am not speaking on all accounts, just views I have. Like I will point out dreams. Dreams people have today get thrown away on a daily. There should be more authors out here, but the excuse “I have to work.” Gets in the way. When this was written it could be in a totally different time of America. But the thing is the world is not that bad. I do have views and feelings about it, I also do not agree

Immigrants today are becoming homeowners at a faster rate than than the U.S born population(Nicholson). An immigrant is a foreign born man or woman who comes to a new country to live in permanently. Immigrants coming to the U.S has been debated for years on whether is should be legal. Immigrants have shown promise in the working force and protecting our country as well as in the American society which shows their value to the United States.

America is a country that has been blessed with success and historically been looked up to for doing the right thing when the world community calls for help. Doing the right thing, honor, decency, strong moral principles are some of the words that are associated with integrity and what people I have taken to overseas think of our country. But the United States has also taken advantage of other countries when they are most vulnerable. When third world economies falter, the lure of moving here is quite tempting. The United States also imports lots of cheap goods from clothing factories from Bangladesh, who has workers being paid minimal wages. Since it has so hard to make a good living many nations like China and India are losing their best graduate

Because I live in America, am I free? Well, maybe not. This is a complicated question to answer and a question that has different answers dependent on who you ask. Freedom has many forms. There are our fundamental freedoms like freedom of speech, the freedom to worship the religion we choose, freedom of the press and assembly as stated in the Declaration of Independence. These are our freedoms as United States citizens that no one can take away from us. Then there are things that we think should be freedoms for everyone in this country but are not. Things like prejudice, bullying, slavery, poverty and crime keep us from the true freedom we all deserve.

Every year there is a huge number of tourists and observers that travels the United States. These tourists came all over the Europe and are from all part of the society. However, each bought his own baggage of personal expectations and prejudice. So it is necessary to examine that what America meant to the outsiders looking in, to place the Democracy in America in proper perceptive. Although some travelers like Thomas Hamilton the English man did not have such a good experience. He says "A dozen times a-day was I asked whether I had seen the waterworks, and on my answering in the negative, I was told that I positively must visit them; that they were unrivalled in the world; that no people but the Americans could have executed such works, and

When I came to my senses I realized that I had no control over my body. It was as if I was in another person’s body physically but my soul and brain were still accustomed. I felt the body get up and start to walk. Where was I heading before? My brain was blank, but I realized that there was something suspiciously wrong and different about

I believe that time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time because you are enjoying yourself. For example, if you are lying in bed singing and you enjoy it, you are not wasting any time.

So be honest with yourself, what activities really bring you pleasure, fun, and happiness, and what activities are you wasting your time on?

Obviously, we are doing something we love every day, and we will always have fun with it. That is how happy life! Generally speaking, nothing is more important than happiness and freedom!
