Ishmael read does an incredible job of pointing out all possible notions that the people who were here before us are,our cause of success. Reed discusses passionately for the ideas and social behaviors that arrived in the United States of America before and after the first wave of European settlers.

In Langston Hughes poem “Let America be America Again” he talks about how America should return to the way that it was perceived to be in the dreams before America was truly America. Throughout the poem he uses various methods to evoke the patriotic images and dreams that he feels America should and will eventually be. Hughes states that America is supposed to be a place of equality for everyone including both white and colored people. During this period in time though there was not equality for everyone. Hughes talks about an America where both whites and colored people will have equality in all aspects socially, politically, and economically. What Hughes is saying is that both whites and colored

The environment is among some of the top issues to be looked upon by the human population in the world today. Sustainability is a word often times used when speaking of this subject.

Each author addresses the issue in different ways; one giving examples of this issue and the other clearly defining it. Each author is writing to spread awareness of this issue. As overlapping topics, each article has similarities and differences to the other.

The online video titled, America the Story of Us: Bust depicts several topics that affected America after the economic boom of the 20th century (You Tube, 2015). One important topic is the Dust Bowl. This refers to a geographical area in the Midwest, which was adversely impacted by drought during the 1930s. This drought killed the crops that were responsible for holding the soil in place. Thereafter, severe winds caused enormous dust clouds to form, which adversely effected region by covering houses, suffocating livestock, and creating serious health problems, including pneumonia among many of children. A large portion of the agricultural production in the United States was destroyed by the combination of dust and drought. The Dust Bowl occurred

"A living document," stated my government teacher. She repeated it over and over and once more, that the United States Constitution was considered a "living" document. Why would it be considered living, it's just an old piece of paper? Being the old piece of paper that it is, dating back to the year 1787, it still, to this day dictates our day-to-day lives. Our founding fathers created this document with a lot of precaution and thoroughness; but still we question it and ask for change. Many doubts arise when the Electoral College is brought up, whether it should be abolished or if it should be stricter. But the real overall question is if the Electoral College is a good way, rather the right way, to choose our executive

George Washington once said, “Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and fearful master,” (“George Washington Quotes”). This is true, government is not reason, since no one actually knows what is “right” versus what is “wrong,” it is just a matter of opinion. The government holding the power of so many lives can be dangerous; the government is definitely a force. This force is made of ideas that make up the government power in nations, including the United States, against the struggles countries face everyday. This “force” or “drive” for what was “right” in early United States is what helped the United States become the strong nation it is today. Despite gaining independence from

In order to fix the dysfunctional structure of America, we must Better educate our voters and make them more involved in current affairs to create the most efficient electorate that will choose the best political leader based on the country's situation. Despite having the most powerful job in America, the president truly doesn't have much power. The electorate controls which politicians will represent the government; voters have the most influence in the affairs of America. If the electorate is better educated and scientifically literate, then choosing the best leader that will lead the country for the beats interests of America won't be as problematic as it has been in the past.

) The United Sates is a democracy which means it is run by the people for the people. “For a country to be considered democratic, the views of the public must affect the course of government” (Greer 206). This means that if the government wants to change something we must all vote on it, or are at least all be given the chance to vote on it. When asked what it means that the government must have the publics support in order to get their decisions implemented it means just that. In order for anything to change in the laws for the United Sates the citizens must vote on it. Also for the people wanting to pass the law to have a better fighting chance they will need to show the public what this law will do for them and how it will help.

Renowned columnist Timothy Noah’s book, The Great Divergence, is an enlightening and critical examination of America’s ever-growing income inequality. Noah distinguishes his book from others of its kind by suggesting a number of surprising causal relationships among American income inequality and a number of unexpected variables. These variables include immigration, inability to fund higher education, tax loopholes for the top tenth of one percent of earners, and unequal government. Additionally, he works with more common predictors of income inequality including race and socioeconomic status. Because of Noah’s thought-provoking, original, and unexpected content, his book reads more similar to Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner’s Freakonomics than the textbook-style approach of William Domhoff’s Who Rules America? Noah’s contribution is not simply another book about the drastic income inequality pervading American society. Instead, delving deep into the true roots of the problem and beginning to understand real solutions, Noah presents a case that is undoubtedly worth reading.

In 2005, the three reports entitled Innovative America, Tapping America’s Potential, and Rising Above the Gathering Storm, argue that if the U.S. does not improve its science technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education the standard of living in the U.S. may decrease and threaten the economy and national security. The reasoning that the proponents use is that with more innovation and technological advancements, exports will increase and benefit the economy, but if there is no innovation this will harm the economy. The three reports, according to the Congressional Research Service, argue that in order to prevent these issues, we must close the academic achievement gaps in STEM, improve the quality of teachers, increase STEM labor supply, improve on international ranking assessments, produce more STEM degrees, and increase the number of H-1B visas issued. One of the most controversial subjects of the STEM movement is that companies are using H1-B visas to employ foreigners at cheaper rates rather than U.S. citizens. However, critics of the STEM movement argue that this is a strategic idea called “Brain Drain” where the U.S. is “draining” the most talented and skilled workers from other countries in order to gain an advantage on a global stage. In order for the U.S. to remain a leader in innovation and STEM education, the issue of H1-B visas needs to be addressed.

America still ranks high on the list and is more sustainable than some places. In contrast, Ireland ranks 6th and has an overall score of 55.4 (“The Sustainable Competitiveness Index 2017”). Ireland’s “current and future focus is on waste prevention, reuse, maximising recycling and using waste as a fuel in replacement of fossil fuels” (“Ireland”). Keeping essentials such as clean air, safe drinking water, and healthy food is “influenced by the quality of the environment” (“Ireland”). Pollution causes physical harm to people, and air pollution is hard to avoid.

Currently, America is a very different country as compared to its political, social and economic status at the end of the Civil War. The Civil War is widely recognized as a major event in the country's historical consciousness since it played a crucial role in determining what kind of nation the United States would be. This is mainly because it resolved two essential questions and concerns that were left undetermined by the Revolution of 1776-1783. First, the Civil War helped in determining whether America would be an inseparable nation with a sovereign central government or dissolvable union of independent states. Secondly, the historic event helped to determine whether the United States would remain as the largest country with slaves across the globe despite the declaration that every individual has equal right to freedom.

In America Is In the Heart, writer Carlos Bulosan delivers a near autobiographical description of his life growing up in the Philippines post World War I and his disillusioned idea of the “American Dream”. Although this later proven disappointment was bolstered by family members and close friends, Carlos, or Allos as he is referred to in the book, never truly gives up his “American Dream” and instead burdens the responsibility to keep the image shiny and intact within a crooked America.

History has changed throughout time and has created a long term impact on how we view ourselves and how our story came about. We’ve moved forward and since the 18th century. Americans had written themselves off as a united nation that share common values and beliefs. Especially on Independence. As we open the history books, America 's growth and development counted on the constant failures and hardships it went through. The nation has grown in power, morality, and size. Americans had grown significantly due to our failures and successes we’ve had in the past, along with the determination and strive for a better nation, while we learned from the conquering and enslavement of our own people.
