Tourism In America

First, a short recap on American history. During the 17th century, in England the official religion was Anglican, there were few who opposed his majesty and practiced other religions as there were punishments to these actions. Later on, these religious groups were given the opportunity to practice their faith in the New World as colonies of England. Finally, the pilgrims, puritans, Lutherans, and even Catholics had escaped religious persecution they faced in England; in the new found land they could freely practice their beliefs. Therefore, when declaring independence from England, the founding fathers wrote “freedom of religion” in the Bill of Rights and implemented a separation of church and state in order to avoid the government to influence the country based on religious convictions. In an article by Doug Weaver, Weaver references a book by Frank Lambert entitled “Separation of Church and State:

According to an article in the Huff Post, approximately (Kuruvilla)“74 percent of the world’s population live in countries with serious restriction on religious freedom.” Religious freedom is a fundamental right in America. It is part of how this country came about when the Pilgrims set sail to a land where they could worship God freely without government interference or persecution. As a melting pot of cultures, we have the liberty of choosing from many different religions as

One thing that is great about America is that anyone can worship any religion that is available. In fact, the first amendment is the freedom of religion. When the forefathers of America were making the amendments, they did not like how the British was making the Americans only praise one religion so the Americans made the constitution to have religious freedom. For instance, in Saudi Arabia, they are only aloud

Religious freedom has long been a major topic in American, as many cultures have melded into the country and mingle with each other, but many Americans consider the United States to be Christian. Albeit, many cultures and religions, or lack of, reside in our country such as buddhism, atheism, etcetera. Our country is not just built on Christianity, it is built on the importance of being able to accept other religions even if you disagree fully with the beliefs established in said religion. The freedom of speech is battled even today on how it should be interpreted; is it allowed even if it should contempt others? Peaceful assembly, freedom of the press and petition all walk hand-in-hand, given many Americans the choice to showcase their own feelings, as they should be able to do in such a democracy as ours. If these key freedoms were taken away, how would could we possibly consider our country to be the country of

America hold the highest income inequality in the world compared to all the nations in the world and the gap has grown since 1947. The richest fifth in America are thirteen times more rich than the bottom fifth of the population. Meaning the bottom fifty percent only own 1.1 percent of America’s Wealth. While the top control more than 75 percent of the national wealth. For example, the net worth the bottom five percent only receive 6,029 dollars while the top receives 630,754 dollars in net worth.

The United States is a place where different types of people live together and gradually create one community. Within these communities are those who hold different faiths and beliefs. Right from the start of time we have begun as an assembly of societies that understood our religious differences. Spiritual acceptance among Americans is as strong now as it was once the Declaration of Independence was written by our forefathers. Nevertheless, the concepts of religion and government that they put in place by means of the Constitution of the United States and its Amendments no longer provides the freedoms of religion that they had in mind. The concern of our forefathers was to allow individuals to worship as they desire. The First Amendment of the United States addressed how our new government and religion would work stating: “Congress shall

The Institute for Policy Studies recently released a report on wealth in America. The survey looked at a number of statistical breakdowns of our countries wealth from simple dollars in the bank to overall net worth to land holdings. To give some perspective to the numbers, let's start with some basic understandings:

In America, religion seems to be less of a binary concept, running more so on a spectrum. This allows for people to be able to identify as very religious or moderately religious, allowing for some blending of religious practices as well. For example, plenty of people practice yoga without having any particular ties to Hinduism. In Dreaming Me, Jan Willis identifies as a Baptist-Buddhist as she reaches the end of her journey to find herself because she feels that is who she is. (pg. 338)

The United States is divided into 50 states, plus the District of Columbia. Mainly known as the lower 48 states or also commonly known as the contiguous states, all of the states excluding Hawaii and Alaska, which don 't attach to the larger part of the country. Hawaii is an island state located in the mid Pacific Ocean and Alaska is located just northwest of Canadas edge. The 3.7 million square miles that makes up the United States makes it the third largest country on earth, standing behind Russia and Canada. While Canada is just a little larger than the United States in land mass, Russia is almost just as twice as large compared.

How can America really have freedom of religion when other religions are looked down on and treated differently because of how they express their religion. Compared to Christianity, other religions are not treated the same. So does America really stand up to the first amendment of the Bill of Rights and accept the freedom of belief in other religions beside Christianity; or do we still follow the path of the founders of America?

Religion has played a large role throughout History. Entire nations have been founded on the ideals of one religion or another, and many wars have been fought purely for religious reasons. In fact there are wars still going on that are almost completely religiously motivated. New Religions may form, old religions may die or change, but they will always be a part of our culture and society. Religion always seems to play a large role in the formation of societies and cultures, and the history of the United States is no different from that of the rest of the world. Religion played a major role in the formation of the United States of America. More specifically between 1607 when

Basically, natural disasters affect our daily lives in several ways. They effectively stop the economy of the area. For examples, natural disasters destroy tangible assets such as buildings and equipment

Natural Disasters have an enormously devastating effect on the world and the population. Hurricanes flood houses, rip proper-ties apart, and devastate families. Tornadoes have drastic wind speeds, these winds are so strong they can lift heavy ob-jects and cause them to soar towards structures and injure ci-vilians. Volcanoes are one of the most beautiful marvels cre-ated by nature; however, they are extremely catastrophic, they cause global warming and completely conceal houses in ash and lava. Earthquakes are the movement of tectonic plates, which release their energy into the Earth’s crust; this causes shak-ing, which can pummel houses to the ground and kill or wound helpless people.
