So with this I believe that most Americans have about the same values they may have a slight difference of opinion on different subjects but I don't believe this constitutes our nation as being as polarize has some may believe. Americans definitely debate and discuss the issues but I agree with the author when he states that America is not
Introduction: In the text by Eboo Patel “Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation,” Patel focuses on living in a diverse faction full of religious prejudice in a world full of materialistic outlooks. At the same time he intertwines his personal experiences and provides a remarkable account in which he says that growing up in America as a Muslim led him to discover the importance of cultural pluralism, the acceptance of all religions, and his huge account that all Muslims aren’t extremists. He believes in ethnocentrism; religions should be able to coexist without feeling that one religion is superior than the other. In a world where the forces that seek to divide us are strong, Patel thinks the meaning of pluralism is that the differences
As a country, we only come together on sports in my opinion. We are divided through the acceptance of different religions, gun control laws, acceptance of sexuality and holding those accountable of sexual assaults instead we let them remain in their positions even the president. Politicians in America have a history of getting in office and only doing things beneficial to their party and not the
Throughout American History we have won and lost thousands of battles, earned and spent trillions of dollars, suffered through tragedies, and rejoiced at our successes. One common thread, running through all of these events is that no matter how powerful we are or how low we sink, we must ultimately come together to move on and to grow. To me, American History is all about unity in times of destruction and despair.
Have you ever imagined a great America again? One where our diversity made us the greatest country as it once was. Our actions and attitude can make America the great country it one was, so that all of our diversity that makes up our country is accepted. Our country was based on “the melting pot.” Also our country was compared as “the heirs of all time.”
David Brooks writer of “One Nation Slightly Divisible,” tries to control the audience’s minds by using “we” in his article. Similarly, Jonathan Rauch, writer of “In Defense of Prejudice: Why Incendiary Speech Must Be Protected” argues in a biased point of view in an unique way to attract audience to believe his personal view towards prejudice. Even though both Brooks and Rauch share the same bias perspective, Brooks reveals a more pervasive biased opinion compared to Rauch. David Brooks stands out with a positive effect of bias and to convince the readers and help unfold his viewpoint and grasp the audience 's attention. Rauch also uses bias to convince the reader but was not as effective as Brooks ' tactics used in emotion, argument and
Patriotism in United States “To survive in peace and harmony, united and strong, we must have one people, one nation, one flag” (Pauline Hanson). This quote explains to the people that patriotism is a love for one’s country and their loyalty towards it. That is the patriotic symbol which reminds Americans that patriotism is a conservative value of honor, loyalty and bravery. Patriotism is seen as an important part of American culture in the United States because it shows people the love of the motherland, and achieving the highest ideal of the love of a country. The feeling of patriotism is important for the freedom of a country.
Perhaps we can't. So rather, let us look at what makes America unique compared to other
The United States of America, is known to be one of the richest and most powerful countries in the world. It has often been referred to by many as a global melting pot or as locals may say callaloo, due to the amassing of diverse ethnicities, cultures and nationalities. Within its borders, resides immigrants or descendants of immigrants from almost every region in the world, and each has in some way added to the American culture and way of life. America is known for its stance on freedom, it is a nation that values equality and justice, this can be noted in the last few words of their national anthem ‘indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.’ However, for many, high levels of economic and social inequalities are daily struggles, a battle that has been fought for decades to claim the most basic rights, in the pursuit of achieving the American Dream.
The land of the United States has flourished because it was fed from so many sources and was nourished by so many cultures and traditions and people. People have always expressed ideas in alignment with that, even dating back to the 1700s. This idea is acknowledged by J. Hector ST. John de Crèvecoeur, a French aristocrat who resided in New York, in his collections of essays, Letters from an American Farmer, where he discusses what it means to be an American. His argument is that to live in America, is to live in a melting pot where many different types of people blend together as one.
“One nation. Under God. Indivisible. With liberty and justice for all”. These are the last lines of what the children of America say every morning during the Pledge of Allegiance.
We are one nation under god. It means that we are all given liberty and justice. It doesn’t matter what skin color or what religion you are, we all have liberty and justice. The words “One nation, under god” means a lot to me.
Individuals lay the foundation of America. The Founding Fathers of this unique nation broke their allegiance with Great Britain to create an improved governing body. They desired an individual-centered authority as opposed to Britain’s monarchy, which ruled with tyranny. These Founding Fathers experienced a neglectful democratic monarchy that cared little about the ethical treatment of its people. The domineering actions of Britain challenged these historic individuals to form a new cultural identity.
All nations at one point have experienced a few different types of challenges in their history. America suffered through plenty of challenges throughout its history that have been overcome. America has been through many obstacles, but they were only realized after the problem was solved or confronted. These challenges include slavery, women’s rights, tyrants, terrorists, and innumerable more. Though confronted with challenges throughout America’s history, the main three obstacles in America today is the divisions between the public, sensitivity of some individuals, and sense of entitlement among some of the youth.
many of its concepts can be found in earlier thinkers and politicians, the terminology of One Nation begins with Disraeli. In his novels, notably Sybil, he was preoccupied with the social divisions or ‘two nations’, which he characterized as: Two nations; between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets; who are formed by a different breeding,
