As if we almost live in a utopia, the America I believe in. In America we are pampered with anything we could possibly even think of but we still claim we have nothing. We live in a First World country making America one of the most dominate countries out there. In today’s society having everything is never enough. We never take the time to realize what we truly have and it is actually quite upsetting, Now picture yourself walking around skin to bone starving to death but this was a regular thing for ordinary people in Third World countries such as the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and other places such as Africa. The America I believe in is the best place to be and we should never take what we have for granted but as a wise man always said, “you never know what you got, until it is gone”. Us Americans ourselves complain about every little thing that doesn 't go our way or other disgusting things such as judge others based on how much money they have. But I bet almost every single one of us would not even last twenty four hours in a Third World country. For then we would finally realize what we have and no longer take advantage of what we have here in America. Here everybody has equal opportunities to be successful in life, in which we are provided costless …show more content…
The America most people believe in is a place where we are able to alot have anything we want in this world but it will still never be enough until we stop walking around as if our eyes were closed and be grateful to even have rights to speak your mind or even just as simple as having food on your plate. But even after reading this entire essay you will wonder why other people call us Americans ungrateful along with many other cold hearted words but honestly based on how we treat others and all the things we take for granted on a daily basis, I would not blame them for the name calling us what they do. I believe that America is beyond blessed as are for the people and I will forever be proud to be an

As these individuals boldly practiced their beliefs in freedom, they inadvertently rewrote history, and we as Americans, honor these patriots who were willing to give the ultimate sacrifice.

America: The Beacon of Hope To many, America is considered the greatest country in the world; a place where anyone’s dreams can come true, a beacon of light in a world of oppression. Open doors give everyone the chance to enter, with a chance at a better life, with the mentality that working hard will let you succeed, building America up from the original 13 colonies to the 50 states we have today. However, in recent times there has been a change in people’s frame of mind, and as a result America has started to slip from its number one status.
The United States Of America is the greatest country ever to touch the planet earth. The only why our nation is like this is because the people living in it all have the American dream to make the world a better place for everyone to live
This country is great for many reason, despite its hardships. One of the many reasons is that we have freedom to chose, freedom of religion, and freedom of speech. We are also a melting pot for many different ethnicity. Being an American is about the freedom we here enjoy. We are full of different ethnicity and cultures.
American citizens are entitled three inalienable rights: Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence states that these three rights are God given and humans are born with them. From the outside looking in, one can say America is an ideal place where a person can be whomever they want. Many people believe that Americans have the right to strive for greatness and are given ample opportunities to do so. Of course, there are barriers, but all people are given equal opportunity to make it regardless of the obstacles.
In the poem “America” by Tony Hoagland, the author discussed the American lifestyle, and the culture presently in his own perspective and opinion. I agree with his opinion about the people in America, and the atrocious reality that we are living in today. This present reality that Hoagland addressed reflects my view and my perspective not just about the people who lives in America, but innumerable people that lives on Earth. Hoagland, not just criticized the lifestyle and the way Americans are living, but also the materialism that exists in most of the people.
America is exceptional, but it has not lived up to its full potential. America has achieved many great things, but has also managed to go too far and ruin what started out as a great idea. A prime example of what started out as a great idea but was then corrupted would be Americanization. America also fell short in the way workers were treated in its means of industrializing.
What does it mean to be an American today? Being an American isn’t hard,but sometimes people just like to not follow things. First thing is being to say The Pledge of Allegiance in school than sitting down on your lazy butt. Second thing is being yourself. Three thing is if you are at a game standing up and put your hand on our heart for The Star Stander Bender .
Yes, America does have some good qualities, but also the American people can not overlook the fact that babies are being killed and that the government is violating the citizens first amendment right. In America children are exposed to free education, technology, and most human rights. So although these things are happening we also need to remember all of the privileges the American people have free of cost just by being born here. Despite the daily occurrences and horrors we are exposed to we have to remember that we are lucky to be here and that matters could always be worse. I do believe that when Paine wrote his book that it was a different world and situation he was exposed to and the things we face today weren’t as prevalent in his lifetime.
.America is the land of opportunity to many individuals. It gives people a chance to become who they really desire to be. That idea though, is not always true. What sometimes occurs is that people who want to become a true American make themselves believe that the only way to do so is by becoming powerful and losing the morals that they were taught. What has been ingrained in much of society is that if one does not do one of those things they are lesser than the ones who do.
What is America all about? What is America defined as? America is more than just its geographical boundaries. To everyone in the world, America stands for something. People believe in America.
My Responsibility to America In America, we are given freedoms and our basic human rights. To make sure these freedoms such as free speech are kept, we as Americans have responsibilities to America. Whether it be in our everyday lives serving in our community or special occasions when serving on a jury, Americans are held to these responsibilities to keep the United States to the standard that it always is. Our basic responsibilities are to pay taxes and vote in elections, however, they extend far greater than those.

It is a simple question that can be taken different ways and answered in many different forms. Some may answer as a personal opinion, others as a factual statement, I however agree with those who see it as an opinion. Every person in America is different in some way.

When you ask a non American “What does America mean to you?” , they will more often than not answer with hamburgers, obesity, NFL and Reality TV. That is okay because who doesn 't love hamburgers and football filled Sundays, who doesn 't love watching silly reality TV shows and who doesn 't love a cheat day every once in awhile? Those people are judging a book by its cover and fortunately for me… well my thoughts about America are quite different. When an individual asks me “What does America mean to you?”
