Why Is America Better Than Our Hometown

About 13% of the United States population are immigrants. Most immigrants come to the United States due to the many opportunities that this country offers. The American dream is often referring to the ideal life that an immigrant might obtain in the United States. The American dream is different for everyone, some want to study, others will like to be homeowners, or become rich; whichever goal an immigrant sets for themselves once they arrive in the U.S becomes their American dream. There are several factors that stop immigrants from achieving their goals, for example the language barrier, a complete change in lifestyle, and even racism. However, the biggest struggle for an immigrant is not to adapt to their new ambiance; the most difficult

The next topic the author offered for an argument is, setting your goals of what you want to gain from your audience. The first and most simple step is to change the audiences mood. If you are able to change their mood, you make them more vulnerable to your argument and more willing to listen to you. The second step winning an argument is, changing the audiences mind and opinion. An example of this from the text is, convincing the light bulb that a replacement is the best way to get some light in the room. You want to promote yourself to them instead of coming off with the impression of a rival. The last and most difficult step to winning an argument is, getting to audience to take action. In order to get the audience to do this, you must be on a more emotional and personal level. As quoted from the text, you not only need to use desire to motivate but you need to convince them that taking this action is not a big deal; something they shouldn’t sweat about. Overall, chapter was very descriptive and informing in distinguishing the difference between an argument and a fight, and how to go about winning these

All around the world the United States of America is viewed as a place of freedom and equal opportunity for all people who settle in the country. Immigrants, especially from second or third world countries, view America as a chance for them to start over and a live the lavish lifestyles they are accustomed to hearing. However, this belief that everyone in the United States lives how they want to and has equal opportunity is false. Immigrants from countries all over the world face many different issues as they settle in the United States. Although these problems may vary, the message is the same; the American dream is a lot more difficult to achieve than previously thought. Although every immigrant is different in the problems

Just because someone was not born in America, that does not mean they should not get to enjoy the American Dream. People cannot help what situation they were born into. A historian writing about the American Dream said, “America is a dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with opportunity for each according to his ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it.” No matter where you are born, you deserve a chance to go somewhere where you can have a better, more successful life. Many immigrants have come to the United States from a poor country and have become very successful since then. A perfect example of this is Robert Herjavec. Robert was an immigrant who was born in Zbjeg, Croatia. Robert first moved to Toronto after he escaped from his communist country with his mother and father. They escaped with only one suitcase of luggage. They ended up living with a friend in Toronto for 18 months. After that, Robert moved to America and struggled to figure things out so far away from home. He began working as a newspaper deliveryman just to be able to

America is often known as the land of opportunity, a place where you can be free. Many Immigrants came to America so that they could have a greater possibility at succeeding in life. Immigrants took a leap of faith when coming to America, for some it worked out well but for others they had a difficult time here. Despite the struggles that the immigrants encountered such as; standing out from others, being separated from their families, and breaking their culture, the immigrants are still grateful to be in America because they were in better conditions than they were in their home land. When viewing interviews or looking at an immigrant’s perspective you get many responses to being in America, some major things that stood out

Many people can agree that America is exceptional and how America is different from other countries. America believed that they will be better and different from other countries. America has many expectations that aren't reached. America has impacted many things that have occurred in the past and has created a great image from America but, never the less America is not exceptional and has failed to resist the standard America has created for themselves and over time they have forgotten there what they have by going against it.

America has often been called a land of promise, and most immigrants think that America is the land of opportunity. To be an American is to live in the land of promise and opportunity. Where if people try hard enough and are determined they can have a job, provide for their families, and live fulfilling lives. In many places

America is not the Greatest Country is the first episode of HBO’s new television series The Newsroom. A news anchor, Will McAvoy, is seated between a strong liberalist, Susan, and a conservative, Lewis, on a journalism panel. When asked to describe why America is the greatest country from a student in the audience the anchor envisions someone in the audience using cue cards telling him, “It isn’t.” This persuades him to give his true opinion, and the anchor continues with a speech about why he feels this way. Will McAvoy uses bipartisan journalism to give the audience the impression that his approach on the subject is unbiased to distract them from his anti-American argument.

I argued that you should apply when you have all of the prerequisites done and are a competitive applicant, while she argued that you should apply when you feel you are ready. This argument differed from the previous one in that it was more of a discussion of our views and both of us equally working to persuade the other of our opinion. During the argument we exclusively employed logos, as we were both using logic, data, and correlations as a way to persuade the other. I believe this argument was effective to an extent because we were able to hear the other opinion and idea, however we were not able to reach a conclusion on whose view was

The little things America has to offer means the world to immigrants coming from bad situations. It would be like seeing sunshine in the pouring rain, because no matter how bad America could get, it would always be better than

American education and employment opportunity today is more attractive and wanted in the world. Many immigrants view the United States as the land of opportunity because it presents them with life options they may not have had in their countries. America offers free education for all who can’t able to pay; meanwhile, there are lots of job opportunities too, from the minim wage up to highly paid job. Of course, language, educational and cultural factors can delay immigrants' success, even for those with professional credentials earned in their homelands, but they are more likely to make it in America when they have access to schools that do a good job of educating them because greater access to quality education helps create greater and more

Third, immigrants come to the United States for a better live and they don’t care the price of it. Since the united states actually helps out with school and jobs for young people. Parent’s risk everything to give their children a better chance of them having a good education. From there they could actually become someone in life. In this case the united States is idolized by many countries that don't have the same opportunities of education for everyone no matter how poor or rich you are .

I believe some countries are better than others because of their ability to locate scarce resources. By locating and manipulating scarce resources in an effective way, countries can raise capital which leads to increases in technology. The United States is arguably the most advanced country. Whether or not they have debt, everyone else wants to live the “American Dream”. Like it or not, the US might not be where it is today without the slave trade. By providing Europe with goods such as tobacco and cotton, the US was able to raise a lot of capital. In short, they were able to import (slaves) less than they exported, in goods. As capital increased, technology did too, leading to the industrial revolution. Eli Whitney’s cotton gin was the start of it all. By being able to have machines do manual labor this allowed individuals to focus on intellectual ideas and other technological advances. Similar to today, the cotton gin could not have been successful if there was not enough money to produce them. That is a hold up in today’s technology as well. While the technology in, let’s say Iron Man, might be

like it is the best thing to live here, maybe if you are rich, or if we know the “right” people. Other than that, these kids are going to fall
