The Spread Of Hope In America

In the article, “Voyage of Hope, Voyage of Tears” the statement, “Hope was the one guiding star that led millions of people to immigrate to America.” explains why the immigrants were optimistic. The immigrants hoped that in America they would be able to find jobs and earn enough money to buy a house and start a family, forever escaping the poverty that they faced in Europe. They knew that even though it might be tough living in steerage, they were determined to make it to their destination, and start a new life in America. No longer would the depressing grip of poverty hold them down from opportunity. Once the the immigrants arrived in New York they could finally feel the release of poverty’s binding hold and run free, across the land of golden opportunity, as if the country itself had spoken to them --“come with me--to

When the U.S. was first established it wasn’t all gumdrops and butterflies, we had to fight for it. And after we won our independence it still didn’t come easy. Now adults may not remember their American history classes but it took more than one try to set up a government. The first attempt, The Articles of Confederation, only lasted four years and it caused so many problems. But the important thing we didn’t give up, we all wanted to be heard and we all had something useful to say. And when we had it all worked out, we all listened to each and got along. We went some rough spots but everyone made it through and people casted the idea of the “American Dream” and how the U.S. was so amazing. Which it was, it truly was at that point in time

People will easily fear more than hope. Instead of hoping to live another day their in fear, thinking my about the day the days they have left. "We mustn't give up hope, even now as the sword hangs over our heads and taught our sages." (31). No matter what the Germans did to the Jews, some never gave up hope "Don't lose hope... have faith in life, a thousands times faith... Help each other. That's the way to survive." (41). Some gave up hope and died with fear.

Every country has its own rule of law when it comes to social justice and health care system. It is hard to judge which country has a better system. However, to know other nations way of lives is always great to compare how their citizens are treated, which is so important in people’s daily life. In the book of “The Healing of America”, by author T. R. Reid, who compares the American health system with various countries in the world predominantly, developed and democratic nations. Reid explains that those countries provide better and cheaper health care for their citizens compared to America.

The era of optimism based on the belief that science and technology would continue to improve the lives of the earth’s population. Is a belief that still exists and widely believed today. Though World War 1 was impactful it didn’t alter people’s perception on the importance of science and technology in our society. This is shown in the technological outcomes that the war essentially produced. Like the use of machine guns, airplanes and other artillery’s. Also World War 1 greatly affected the political, spiritual and cultural development of the United States, India and Germany.

In her article “The Arc of Justice and the Long Run” Rebecca Solnit refers to hope as, “a sense of the grand mystery of it all, the knowledge that we don’t know how it will turn out, that anything is possible.” (Solnit, P.9). Solnit’s definition reflects her attitude towards politics and social justice in that she realizes that not everything is in our control. Adding to the previous statement, we can only try our best to change things for the better because you can never know just how things will turn out. In the political arena, us as Americans can cast our vote to elect the person we see fit to take care of running our country and providing a safe place for our families. However, it was not always this way even in our country and worse so

First off, America was built on the foundations of reinvention and freedom, principles which we must continue. The first Americans forsook everything they had, in the hopes of a happier life. Their search was for a life of freedom, without tyrannical pressure. To reinvent a life so different from what they were forced to live was the freedom Americans yearned for. A quote that rings true in the hearts of Americans by Albert Camus, “Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.”

In America there stands five ideals, these ideals are called the supporting beams of our country. As Abraham Lincoln said, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” Essentially what this means is: If we don’t follow and accomplish the ideals our country will fall and crumble.

Hi, today I will be presenting my paper to show how I feel about America and our hope for the future. I think that America can potentially be a better place than it is now, but we have some major work to do. Our country has went downhill in the past few years.

Examining America as a country it is evident that it was founded on a devoted love, a love for freedom and the rights that are bestowed upon every American at the time of their birth. The men who founded this country believed that they along with future generations deserved a sanctuary. America’s forefathers created an entirely new concept, changing the world by fabricating a haven for freedoms. The love for this country is ever-present in the writings and actions of all the great men who risked their lives to cultivate their dreams.

What hope is given to Americans from the history? In American history, there were conflicts such as wars, civil rights movement, and multiple attacks through these the hopeful spirit of America shines.

Desmond Tutu once said, “Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.” He is saying that no matter what happens, Americans must continue to believe there is hope even in adversity. Americans usually come together spontaneously, or perhaps, instinctively at times of disaster and heartache. Americans must learn from the past and be united, be stronger, and be re-energized.

In today's world, it is hard to find hope, with so many problems, so many lies, a lot of wrong things. The beginning that I said, is the fact that we get the opportunity to be the change. We are no longer children, and now is the time, to create an ideal, a way to keep on living. It is time to thank, time

This principle alone has inspired millions to come to America in hope of a better future for themselves and their descendents. From the Irish peasants fleeing starvation in the 17th century, to modern-day Hispanics seeking employment, people have always looked to America as a land in which to prosper.

America is a substantially different world now than it was at the time of the initial “American Dream”. “The optimism of the
