What sets America apart from any nation in the world is that it never settle. America, at times, has had the tenancy to spent too long in the darkness of satisfaction and despondency, but never has it settles in shadows.

Robert Reich explained to us, "Income inequality is inevitable and is the essence of capitalism, but when the gap became too much, then it became a problem to the society. Today, the United States has the most inequality distribution of income of all the developed nations, the richest 400 Americans have more wealth than the bottom 150 million people put together"2. First of all, income inequality exists everywhere, it is not a problem for itself. Because of the income inequality, poor people know the life different between people, then they will work harder and harder to catch up to get rid of the poor, and to have a better life. The income inequality is a good thing when it is not much for is the source of power that makes people improve themselves. However, the data show that the income gap is too huge now, the income distribution is extremely unfair. 400 people have more money than the half of the nation, so now the great income inequality disturbs social inequality.

Many countries have fast food and obesity problems, but America takes it to a whole other level. People don’t cook as much anymore and don’t eat healthily. They also don’t exercise. It’s pictures like this that have everyone wondering WTF and perpetuate stereotypes as to why so many Americans are obese.

What is it that makes the United States great? Or rather, as the question should be, what made the United states great. The answer to that lies in its unlikely creation as a group of intelligent, motivated, firebrand rebels forged a new nation on the principles of democracy and freedom. Our leaders and policy makers have always come from the people, where your next door neighbor can if he so chooses, run for office and shape local or even national policy. This system, for the people, by the people, is what made us great. However, as time went on and as always the creation of man began to lose its purity and beauty, the political institution began to become less an embodiment of the people, and more that of a small group of the people within

In one time, William McKinley manifested “Expositions are the timekeepers of progress,” inspiring America that the workflow will be presented graciously. Reaching to the years of massive expansions, America had grown tremendously with goods and services.

America is a wonderful place to live, because we are free. Freedom is important, and many people in other countries do not have much freedom. I am glad I have a place like this to grow up in; where I know that I can be equal with other races and other genders. Also, I am glad I have a place like this that will respect me and I know it will be a great place to have my children grow up in.

Why do I believe America is a great nation? America’s greatness comes from our freedom, our people, and our First Amendment Rights of religion, speech, press and assembly.

Fireworks cracking and lighting up the sky, hot dogs cooking on the grill, and a cold drink in a red, white, and blue paper cup. It is the forth of July, Independence day, the day Americans put all of their worries to the side to celebrate the freedom of the country that they live in, America. Those who live in the USA may experience more freedom and comfort then those who live in other parts of the world. America is highly praised for their education, diverse crowds, and socially accepting everyone despite their race, religion, or special needs.

America has always been the place of equal opportunity. The nation pours out “rags to riches” stories and makes people believe in miracles. Botton points out that issues arise when people think they can achieve these miracles. When the poor can not become millionaires, they go into mental turmoil. They cannot even respect themselves due to social expectation of making great from nothing. Soon, all fall into mental turmoil as none can achieve the greatness like they wanted. In addition to the failure to become rich overnight, Americans base worth on achievement. They push the want to achieve the unachievable and failure brings humiliation. Anyone can look to America and see that the land lost its equality when all were

What really made me interested and shocked at this topic was that the other countries that the boat people come near to pushed them away. Just after giving them supplies and repairing their boats, the countries push them away. Over the last three weeks, more than 3000 refugees from Myanmar and Bangladesh have arrived on Southeast Asia’s beaches. There are still an estimated 3500 more refugees in the sea or are blocked by the authorities of nearby countries.

Many economic concepts and theories about how a country should be run and what systems it should use have been argued and fought over since the beginning of countries themselves. An economic theory could be adopted by a country for a variety of reasons, whether it is religion, ideology, power-shifts, structure, etc. If the economic theory doesn’t collapse under itself, it will continue to be used or replaced by something better or worse depending on why the economic theory is being replaced: revolt, shift of power, invasion from another country, etc. However, there is one economic theory that has failed and collapsed over and over again, yet still continues to be pushed as a great beacon of progressivism and prosperity. This theory is known as Socialism and has recently been revived in the United States by a man named Bernie Sanders who ran in the Democratic Primary election. Although losing the primary, Bernie Sanders amassed a large group of supporters during his candidacy. In fact, a Gallup poll done in June, 2015 asked Americans “if your Party nominated a generally well-qualified person for president who happened to be Socialist, would you vote for that person” (McCarthy)? The poll showed that 47% of Americans said that they would vote for a qualified presidential candidate who happened to be a Socialist (McCarthy). In this essay, I am going to explain why socialism doesn’t work, some of the many issues it has, and its past failures. Socialism is an unsustainable ideal

Now imagine if you didn’t live in America. Imagine yourself growing up in a second world country. You had no clean drinking water, you had to sleep on dirt floors every night, you only ate a couple times a week at best, and you went days without even seeing your mom. You had no one to take care of you because no one knew how to. You were on your own, without all of the luxuries you have so easily accessible in the United States.
