The New Generation: The Future Of America

Our country isn’t ravaged with war, and our people aren’t living in destitute huts, dying from diseases that they don’t have the medical care to solve. But with this there is also the downside, as Americans we are also very blind to these first world problems and how good we have it here. NEWSWEEK recently asked 1,000 U.S. citizens to take America’s official citizenship test, 29 percent couldn’t name the vice president. Seventy-three percent couldn’t correctly say why we fought the Cold War. Forty-four percent were unable to define the Bill of Rights. And 6 percent couldn’t even

An example of anguish and suffering due to ‘white’ policy laws, was the attempted genocide era also known as ‘the stolen generation’ which lasted for decades (Krieken 2009).The stolen generation era was a “systematic annihilation for Aboriginal cultural identity” (Krieken 2009, p. 297) because children were forcibly taken from their families to institutional facilities that were either run by charitable or religious organizations with the intention of ‘civilizing’ them so they can integrate into white Australian society (Krieken 2009). The Australian government commissioners believed that ‘breeding mixed blood’ Aborigines with white settles will eventually lead to the “colour being bred out of them” (McCarthy 2000, para. 3) whilst those who

The first major liability of the United States was that no one had ever established a

The Brookings Report provides a useful lens on America’s future by recognizing the demographic shifts that are transforming the metropolitan areas of today. The five new realities represent new changes to metropolitan areas such as the continued growth and outward expansion of our population; its ongoing racial and ethnic diversification; the rapid aging on the horizon; our increasing but selective higher educational attainment; and the intensified income polarization experienced by workers and families

In "Space technology: A critical investment for our nation's future" by Bobby Braun, Braun speaks out about the influential aspects of investing in updating our space technology. Our modern world today derives from technology that NASA scientists create, to better our future nation. Through the pursuit of being a leading nation in technological advancement, the United States economy has accelerated because of it. It has yielded new industries, products, and services for the United States citizens and allies. Bobby Braun retired from NASA as the NASA chief technologist. Mr. Braun has nearly 30 years of experience as a space system engineer, technologist, and organizational leader. This shows why he stands so eager to help NASA receive more funding. He is also a recognized authority in the development of planetary exploration systems and the advancement of space technology, because of this relation to the program this motivated him to write this adressment. Braun could have introduced some statistics and averages to help support his claims, this would have grabbed more people interested in

America's gift to my generation is the Internet. The internet is the greatest modern gift that America can give to my generation. This has positioned my generation to be the most technologically advanced generation yet. We use this technology to become the next doctors, scientists, teachers, engineers, diplomats etc of America. People use the internet in school and in everyday life. The Armed forces use the internet to coordinate themselves in times of war and hardships.

Think about why education is a great gift to our generation. I think education is an amazing gift to our generation! Because I live in America I am gifted knowledge, a future, and financial opportunities. America’s gift to my generation is education. Education is what guarantees a successful life.

“I didn’t know I was a slave until I found out I couldn’t do the things I wanted,” was a quotes from Frederick Douglass, a slave before the Civil War. The Civil War saved a lot of slave’s freedom. Freedom to live your life how you to is what I believe America’s Gift to my generation is. Harriet Tubman helped lead slaves through an underground passage that she created; it got named the Underground Railroad. Once the slaves got through the passage, they earned the freedom to live their lives however they wanted to. After “rights” were given to black people, they were forced to go to different schools than white people; those school were worse and the black people did not get as much education as white people. America’s Gift to my generation is

Throughout history, the United States has often been described as a melting pot, meaning “the fusion of various religious sects, nationalities, and ethnic groups into one distinct people” (Thornton). This metaphor first arose in the eighteenth century, but was used in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to describe the growing number of immigrants in the United States. From 1900 to 1915, “more than 15 million people” immigrated to the United States, ushering in a new era of Americans (Library of Congress). Furthermore, there was a shift in the countries from which immigrants were arriving. These changes characterized the first half of the twentieth century, as immigrants struggled to assimilate to American culture. Immigration during this period profoundly affected American culture, including the fashion industry. In addition to this effect, the influx of immigrants helped to usher in a new era of urbanization and manufacturing in the United States.

Patriotism is not short frenzied, outburst of emotion but tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime

In his article “Will America Grow Up Before It Grows Old?” P.G. Peterson writes about the challenges that U.S. population will be experiencing by 2050. (Peterson, 2015) P.G. Peterson argues that the proportion of the aging population to the younger population will impact the allocation of the scarce resources. (Peterson, 2015) I agree with P.G. Peterson that the young and old will be forced to compete for the resources.

Who will establish the future foundation of America? In society we view the high entitled people as our leaders to engage a part of prosperity for America's future, the true leaders of our country is our children and youth. They will become the government, Lawyers, teachers and doctors of tomorrow. There are many youth around the world are faced with highly competitive challenges in their life.

Historically speaking, Americans and the United States government have consistently had many issues of not recognizing their faults towards current situations that could potentially be avoided. For example, the War on Terror and the Black Lives Matter movement are just a few events that have impacted the country

The strain between Americanism and Jewish cultural identity is manifested throughout the Krichinsky family in the 1990 film Avalon. While the Krichinsky family is not portrayed as explicitly Jewish in the film, their cultural identity is reflected in their Jewish roots, and one of the strongest aspects of this is in community bonds. Judaism as a religion and as a culture focuses more strongly on family and personal relationships than on the individual. “A large part of Jewish law is about the relationship between man and his neighbors” (Rich). Conversely, the foundations of America were created on independence from Britain, and American identity puts a great deal of respect and importance on self-reliance. While in American culture this

I am pessimistic about America’s future for the following reasons; First, there is the bureaucracy, which is dysfunctional from ceasing to operate in a reasoned manner. Next, there is the education system, where we are constantly confronted with disappointing statistics on test scores and low performance compared to other developed nations. Last, there is the national debt, in which the interest rate alone has been bigger than what is spent on Medicare. The interest paid per year increases and could eventually be more than all other spending.
