The United States of America: Land of the free! Home of the brave! A place where opportunities are endless and equality is everlasting. Speaking on behalf of others in my generation, I believe it is safe to say many of us have seen a lot of selfish and outrageous acts develop drastically. From white cops killing innocent black citizens, to people supporting the evil Donald Trump, to ostracizing ourselves from the LGBT community and looking down upon them, it is quite obvious that the saying “America: the greatest country in the world” isn’t so accurate. We are naïve to the destruction that occurs daily and have a habit of sugarcoating our mistakes. The matter of the truth is: our generation is distorted and unethical, which is why in 200 …show more content…
If that alone doesn’t support the fact that the shootings that occur frequently in our society partake in the malicious country we live in, I’m not sure what will. Another factor is that simply purchasing a firearm isn’t too difficult. This means that if one really desired to shoot up a place, they wouldn’t mind the little steps it took to be capable of obtaining one. Many can get a gun illegally by simply knowing people who can easily pass it on. These factors contribute immensely to our shootings that take place in our country. On the topic of shootings, I will now discuss the shooting issues that our cops our involved in. Just like the mass shootings, it seems as if the topic of a white cop killing or demeaning a black male or female is a part of our daily conversations. In particular, I will use the very well-known “Michael Brown” shooting. Many are familiar with the story of the 18 year old who was fatally shot by Darren Wilson, a white cop. This event took place on August 9, 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown stole a few packages of cigarillos and had the cops called on him as he fled from the gas station and walked back to his grandmother’s home. Dorian Johnson accompanied Brown when suddenly a cop car with Darren Wilson, as the driver, backed up his cruiser and blocked them. An altercation broke out and the two teenagers struggled with the police officer for his gun. The two teens then fled
The Southern States of America was made up of the following, Georgia with Atlanta as the Capital of the new union, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee and Kentucky. Although, Kentucky wasn’t a sure bet at this point, there was still a lot of work to do in that state.
In document 1, the picture shows different countries represented by little people. In this picture they are all in a school yard, which represents the U.S. , and they are all out of control. You see the filipinos represented by the monkey looking child, you can also see china and other countries. What this picture wants to show is that the countries are acting like little children in the way that they cannot govern themselves while the U.S. is the woman taking care of them. The United States believed that these countries need help in government so they wanted to step in and “help”.
The journey of how the United States of America became the United States of America is a very complex one. With America declaring separation from the Great English Empire, to the organization of becoming a free, sovereign nation and lastly, the migration and colonization of the now, western United States, including the great state of Nevada, has many components. The Declaration of Independence initiated the process of becoming a country of its own. This Document pushed the separation from England and showed the world that America was now its own nation. The United States Constitution laid out the blue print of how the United States would work. This was after a failed attempt of the Articles of Confederation. After the Constitution was created, the process of migrating west began in order to colonize the western region of the United States. Nevada had a big role in this because we helped President Abraham Lincoln gain a second term. The first chapters of the story of the Untied States of America were a dangerous, difficult and long one, but because of this, the people that live in this country today have the freedom of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Within the last decade , the United States has become home to 3.5 million immigrants from the Caribbean. The Caribbean accounted for 9% of the country 's 38.5 million immigrants. more than 90% of the immigrants come from Cuba, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The number of Caribbean immigrants grew from 193,922 in 1960 to 3,500,000 in 2009. This represents more than a 17 fold increase. They have been among the top ten foreign born groups in the United States each decade since 1970. Between the years of 1970 and 2009 , immigrants from the Dominican Republic significantly contributed to the rapid growth of the carribean born populatio. They accounted for 26.2 percent of the increase during the time
SEAL Team One had furnished two ‘volunteer’ teams for the Panama Mission. Both teams boarded the single C-17 that was provided with the additional fuel tanks, one team would be dropped by parachute with the newly modified short wave radios at the Pacific side of the canal. The modified radios still have the distance to transmit any place in the world given the proper antenna dimensions. However, the radios were designed to be compact and given a hardened casing that would better protect them for military use. They all used either hand-powered generators or AC current.
This country, The United States of America is built on greed. This magnificent age of technology fuels the want for more. Boundless borders, created by leaders, rule over all and their authority remains unquestioned by a malicious spear of death for whoever obstructs their path. The people of America have been blindly enslaved and indoctrinated in fright of consequence. But life was not always so. People were once free to roam the lands, feeding and learning from its riches at no cost. Mothers and fathers were the sole teachers and their children followed freely and faithfully. Desecration of simplistic ways came as man proclaimed a price on things and ideas he sought necessary through fear and suffrage. These same ideas hold the
During the 1800s, the United States of America underwent some drastic changes. President Jefferson introduced a simple idea of expansion with the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark Expedition; President Madison allowed the country to slip into the war of 1812 after complications with the impressment of American seaman by British navy in the Great War during Jefferson’s time. After the war, an “Era of Good Feelings” promoted national unity and Marshall’s supreme court decided many cases that promoted power of the national government over the states. The Monroe Doctrine told European powers that they must not interfere with events in the Western Hemisphere, and the creation of the national bank also took place during this time.
The United States of America was founded on the basic principles and ideals that gave citizens a voice in the dictation of their country. The “We the People” mindset has been a clear example of the American citizen’s right to the ballot. This right was originally only given to white men. Not everyone was entitled to enfranchisement. Some citizens had to fight for their right to vote. Passed in 1870, just five years after the War Between the States, the 15th Amendment was passed, granting African American men the right to vote. While this was a huge step towards equality at the ballot box, a large portion of the population was still missing basic equalities. Women still were not granted the right to vote, and had no say in any political
The United States of America, a country that used fight for the small guy, that used fight to protect the people that needed to be saved. Yet now we can barely save ourselves from a water balloon fight. This country got caught up in the small thing .We are fighting ourselves about bathroom rules, being democrat or a republican. Recently people are making a deal about the pledge of allegiance some people who don 't believe in a religion or have a different region than most people in this country.
Does the United States of America actually get the media it deserves? This is a crucial question for not only U.S. citizens to be asking themselves, but the media personnel as well. If a country’s media is not efficiently and effectively providing its citizens with news stories, there is a huge problem at hand. While the media thrives off of breaking news stories, it’s generally the minute details that grab the attention of viewers. In essence, the minute details are what makes a breaking news story a truly breaking news story. If the media withholds certain details from a story, which happens daily, they are depriving the viewers of “real news.” Due to this, American citizens often times do not get the news they deserve.
Recently emerging as a significant trend amongst the health-conscious community, quinoa has become a symbol of healthy and organic living across America. Due to this sudden rise in demand, this Bolivian superfood has been hitting the shelves of stores around the country faster than ever. This journey to American supermarket shelves is one that has recently come under scrutiny for its effects on the environment and the Bolivian farmers who grow and harvest it. In this paper, I will discuss the details of the importation of quinoa from Bolivia, the impact this grain has had on the natives of Bolivia and the environment as a whole, and the symbolic and material value this grain possesses in the everyday culture of the United States.

The United States of America is a democratic republic consisting of 50 states working together for its people, by its people. It is a prime duty for citizens to ensure the quality of the U.S. by coming together and voting for the right politicians to run this country. The truthful fact is “What is right?” Many can analyze and compare this analogy to the overall structure of sports. The hierarchical structure specifically in American football represents a balanced way of ensuring long term benefits for teams and should be implied in congressional elections.
The United States of America is the world largest single economy with a lot of trade activities with other nations. The country has traded with other nations for centuries hence it is an important economic partner (Jensen, Quinn & Weymouth, 2015). The country normally has a lot of influence in the world trade since it serves almost all the nations worldwide. In fact, most of the trade policies that affect the whole world have been proposed by the United States of America. Moreover, the country is a superpower hence will also have political influence on the other countries in the world. According to Baier, Bergstrand and Feng (2014), the people in those countries will, therefore, have to adhere to the policies that have been proposed and
The United States of America is one of, if not the most developed nation in the world as of 2014. America is well-known for its freedom and opportunity it offers, which is why many individuals sought out for it. But I am not going to write about America’s many achievements and prestigious comforts. I would like to address the current situation that has been haunting America for quite some time now.
