Argument Essay: Diversity In The United States

419 Words2 Pages

June 17, 2017
To whom it may concern,
Although I understand the argument you presented regarding the culture of our country, I disagree with your statement. The foundation of the United States and what makes this nation great is the diversity. Immigration is the backbone of the creation of this country, unless you are of Native American descent. Many people from around the world come to the United States to pursue the American Dream. Immigrants, from various walks of life and cultures, have contributed so much to this country. America is nothing without its diversity. Hence, to say that being politically correct is too much is insensitive. Even though Americans do have their own culture and identity, the unique culture and identity derive

    People from all over the world came to the US for many reasons, and with them came their culture. The US is considered today as a place where, for the most part, all people and cultures are accepted. This can all be traced back to the immigrants that came to the US in the late 1800s. These people brought their customs and traditions to the US and allowed the people to really experience how other people around the world live. Foods, religions, governments, and ideals are just some of the many thing immigrants brought to the US that overall made the US a much more complex country.

  • Argument Essay: Democracy In The United States

    988 Words  | 4 Pages

    Democracy in the United States of America means two completely different things depending on the race and level of authority of a person. Since the days of slavery when Frederick Douglass wrote “What to a Slave is the 4th of July?”. The 4th of July is nationally celebrated as Independence Day for the United States of America but when this holiday was created blacks were still enslaved therefore everyone in the nation was not free. Thus, came the holiday celebrated by African Americans, Juneteenth, which marked the abolition of slavery. The United States has the slogan “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”, but this slogan has never been held true for all.

    It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.” (Audre Lorde, Our Dead Behind Us: Poems) Americans have a silent code of not speaking on anything that has to do with race. When it comes down to race many would like to turn a blind eye to what the real problem is because they are afraid to step on anyone’s toes. We hide behind color-blindness. Saying that we do not see color we only see a man.

  • Is America A Melting Pot Essay

    351 Words  | 2 Pages

    Some of my sources counterclaim that America is a melting pot and thus to be Americanized one needs to give up any factor that would affect national unity and cultural cohesiveness. In order for America to thrive as a nation, the dominant culture has to conquer the minority and thus allowing the minority culture to assimilate within theirs. This argument is bogus since regardless of America being a melting pot or a salad bowl, the retaining of smaller cultures are important to people who value their cultural roots and ethnic identity. It is clear that America cannot be accounted as a melting pot, thus national unity and cultural cohesiveness is a process that can never be developed. The concept of a black skin, with a white mask is something

    Why America should be embarrassed: Our path with discrimination As much as the majority of America likes to ignore, we have always found a group of individuals to target at any given point in history. These individuals targeted are mainly the minority group at the time, often immigrants but sometimes large groups that have always taken the brunt. This is often a topic thrown to the waste-side due to how ashamed most americans are about their embarrassing pattern in the past. Through many obstacles and extreme discrimination these groups have overcome this in ways that show their true colors in incredible ways.

Without proper schooling minorities are forced to turn to the streets selling drugs, prostitution, burgling, and even gang violence. Properly funding Schools for minorities would create programs and activities to keep the youth on the right track, giving the same opportunities for minorities that suburban students get creating a successful future for themselves, which creates a successful future for their children, thus breaking the cycle of despair.

  • Argumentative Essay About Immigration

    168 Words  | 1 Pages

    Many immigrants that lives in the United States are having a hard time with their self-esteem because many people thinks that the immigrants are bad and stupid because they do not speak language. People also think that immigrants steal jobs from many Americans, which is not true because Americans and immigrants are equally capable of competing with each other. Even though the negative comments about immigrants are not true, they still lower self-esteems of many people and prevent them from striving for better jobs, education, and expand their social skills. In my own community, such as school, people that are different can also be view as "immigrants" because people often categorized things that are out of the norm as not normal or strange

  • Argumentative Essay On Racial Equality

    1734 Words  | 7 Pages

    Racial inequality has plagued our society for centuries and has been described as a “black eye” on American history. It wasn’t until the passing of The Civil Rights Act of 1965 that minorities were given equal protection under the law. This was a crucial step on our society’s road to reconciling this injustice. However, the effects of past racial inequality are still visible to this day, and our society still wrestles with how to solve this issue. In 1965, President Lyndon B Johnson said: “You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say you are free to compete with all the others, and still just believe that you have been completely fair.
