Once you reach a certain age, you begin to understand the world around you, and you discover that it is a far more complicated place than you had previously imagined. When you reach this point in your life, whenever it may be, it is important to have a kind of safety net, something to fall back on despite the complexity of our world. This is what I want my country to be: a place of good people with clear values, people who are kind to their fellow citizens despite their differences and views, who are not intimidated by things that they can be stronger than. Sometimes, it may feel as though we have lost these key American values, for each day another person turns against those around them, or another threat is made against our country. This is why we are so essential to our …show more content…
We have proven we can overcome great challenges before, and I know we will again. This is our future, to make the America we all believe in. We will continue the dream of safety and strength, of freedom and prosperity and create a world that each and every one of us can live in. I hope that we can all come to see this one day, that despite its flaws, despite its mistakes, despite some of its people, our country is a beautiful place. Around the world, people are being denied freedoms, they are being denied clean air, they are being denied life. In Africa, starving children are wandering the streets and families are struggling to get enough food to live. In Syria, people are in the midst of a brutal civil war, something we have learned to rise above. Some countries are tearing at the seams, and the integrity of our country says something about our morals and our people. We have an ability to change, something other people 's lack. We have come to accept diversity, we have learned to change the rules. We will continue this legacy of change until we solve the problems of the world. This is the America I believe
For America to grow as a country it must first focus on itself more than it does now. Focus on everything that's hindering it from completing what must be done for change to happen. The nation must stand together to get back on track with the way this country be heading. Langston Hughes says it best in Let America Be America Again "Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed—Let it be that great strong land of loveWhere never kings connive nor tyrants schemeThat any man be crushed by one above." (Hughes).
“This country has so much beauty. We were deprived of opportunities and now they’re everywhere. My family can learn. My children can play. I have been granted my humanity.”
How can improvements be made without the people who want the improvements don’t make an effort? Giving American citizens the responsibility to improve their own lives may cause setbacks, but it is the outcome of these setbacks that enable change and allow further quality of life. Without American citizens taking initiative to improve their own lives, they will be never be satisfied with the quality of their own lives. Many improvements in this world such as freedom and rights were not established through citizens counting on authority to make this change. It was the people who were affected by this dilemma that took action that ended up giving a new meaning to life.
I just hope that the citizens of America can move past this, and then we can focus once again on becoming the very best country we can
That we won 't ever be a perfect society but were improved at on the front of equality and are one of the most accepting countries. Is the more we can do yes , but we as America should strive every day to make America the last hope for the
Every person as a citizen in america has responsibilities to his or her country. Many people complain and gripe about the state our country is in today. How can you change anything if you do not pull your own weight and strive to make the country better? If you ask anyone nowadays “what do you think your responsibility to america is?” you will most likely get a blank stare or something about paying taxes.
To begin, one of my responsibilities to America is preparing myself for the future. As a junior in highschool, I have seen many citizens not use their rights and freedom in a proper manner. Having freedom, liberty, and pursuit of happiness in America comes with the responsibility to use them each correctly and not take advantage like many citizens do. Having freedom and rights is a privilege. I prepare myself for the future by learning from other people 's mistakes.
Why is America Exceptional? In 2001, my mother was able to acquire a visa to live in the United States of America, my mother wanted to chase her American dream. She knew that where she used to live, the opportunities were not there for her. My mother saw the greatness in the US that most of us see. The US is arguably the best country in the world, and most people who live here would agree.
“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” That one sentence changed my life, those thirty one words altered my decisions, the words “liberty” and “justice” shaped my future. To some, freedom, liberty, and independence are benefactions; others view them as excesses. But to me, those words signify duty, honor, and country. Everything granted to us is not free, we have to earn each and every aspect of the objects we have in life.
If we work together, we can achieve the aspects that we are missing - peace with acceptance. I know that the America I believe in is somewhere, we just have to find it within our
America’s Gift to My Generation I 'm not going to start this with a quote. Not because i want to go against the crowd or do something different. But because they 're just words. So many people could come up with the same “words of wisdom” and only one gets credit for it. Actions are what really matter.
My fellow Americans, I would like to thank you all for coming out today to listen to me speak on behalf of the future. America, the future is now. I want to strive in making a major impact on our country. Being President of the United States comes with a lot of responsibility. With all this responsibility, I want to make certain that America is the best it can be.
As Theodore Roosevelt once said, "The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own weight. " My responsibilities to America include; paying my own bills, looking out for the future generations, being an informed voter, supporting and defending the constitution, putting America first, and to be a good person. Paying my own bills is a huge responsibility that any person must understand and take on. If you do not do this you will become a burden to society. Also, if you don’t pay your bills, your house or other items may be repossessed.
Barack Obama’s win for President in 2009 was a historical moment for the United States. His inaugural speech was much anticipated, because this was going to set the tone for his presidency. His speech told the American people that improving the economy is one of his priorities, but there were also other areas he would like to improve like healthcare and the education system. This was a speech that was meant to persuade the American public to take action for them to rise as a nation again, and for them to put their trust into him. His message addressed a couple of specific points like his gratefulness to the American people, the different crises America is facing, how America will overcome these crises, replying to his cynics, addressing the world, and then he reminded America again to be brave like they’ve always been to overcome the hard times (5 Speechwriting Lessons from Obama's Inaugural Speech, (n.d.).
The 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, once stated, “My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.” America does need to work on being the “best country in the world”, but it does have some good things going for it like the freedom of speech and to protest. So many people around the world are murdered for speaking up for their personal rights as a human being, and that is why it is so important that we have this freedom to speak out. We need to protect our rights as Americans because other people do not have these
