4 Ways To Rejuvenate Us
After reading about the 4 ways to rejuvenate our country, I do believe that we are in some serious trouble. Honestly, I do believe the 4 ways given in the article will in fact help make America great again. I think the country has been lacking human nature, trust in its government, religious citizenry, and federalism. President Trump has made a plan to build a wall on the southern border AND put an end to sanctuary cities. Those are just two of the negative things he has in store for the future. Just his immigration policies goes against the 4 ways to help US citizens. In step one of the article, the author states “ But if human nature is inherently good, perfectible, or positive, faith in the people results in democracy.” ( Bartow,1) I agree

    First off, WE'RE SCREWED. It was the last presidential election of our time. The candidates were terrible. It was either World War III(Hillary) or The Purge(Trump) and I guess America chose The Purge. So, I guess it's time to say goodbye to all people of mixed or other ethnicities, because Trump's gonna make us all go back. Time to say goodbye to those we befriended and growled to love. Goodbye to all the things that actually make this country GREAT. He says, "Let's Make America Great Again," but does he really mean it. America was created as a place where people all over the world can come and make something of themselves. Now it's a place where we look down on those who are different or those of us will different talents. We judge people…

    Throughout the speech Trump listed examples such as the trade deficit, poor infrastructure and the destruction of American values. With each example given, Trump outlined how America has fallen from its once glorious ‘silver eagle’ status. America has always been the country that the world looks up to as being at the forefront of humanistic values such as innovation, integrity, free speech and religion. Trumps ideas of how America has fallen evokes a concern for what most citizens’ see as true American principle and doctrine. Trumps use of language to alarm the public is in general an attempt to illustrate the loss of American…

    Dangerous, disconnected, and non-decorus is what the United States has become since the election of Donald Trump. Distance between the U.S. and other neighboring or allied countries, has become further apart because of Trump. Near the beginning of Trump’s presidency, he defined his ideals and cleansed out the White house to make better decisions for the country, but there are very little better decisions. He has made incorrect choices to avoid problems, he has not looked back on what has happened to determine what will, and worst of all, he has threatened other countries with military force. That is why in this day and age, the United States of America is no longer secure because of weaker national bonds, greater threat of nuclear war, and…

    In the essay “ Quilt of Country “ by Anna Quindlen, argues that having a common enemy and having a nation built with divergent pieces are the forces and ideas that connect the people of the United States. She communicates this argument by giving the reader informational facts and quotes. Quindlen invokes that America as a mongrel nation due to how distinct people have made up our country, “ a great national striving consisting frequently of failure.” Our community has been in constant conflict by cause of our different backgrounds and this hurts our idea of unity. Quindlen also states that tragedy brings us to unity, “ Terrorism has led to devastation “ the 9/11 attack caused damaged to the people of America ,…

    I think not, because we are in this mess because of the outsider movement that has galvanized the American people. But, I can also look at the flip side and see Rausch argument where he wants all the parties to build up strength because at the moment there is currently no positive mojo on either side. The Democratic and Republican Parties are currently weakened, but are defiantly not dead which is why it is very reasonable to rebuild these institutions.…

    Specifically, he maintains that the Immigration Act of 1965 has triggered a mass immigration consisting of migrants that are significantly different in ethnic origin from the resident population and that this migration is causing a radical change in the demographic composition of the population which will lead to a breakdown in the ties that bind the nation together. Furthermore, he suggests that this migration policy, which is designed to be free of any trace of racism or xenophobia, is not only creating an alien nation, but is doing so despite the wishes of the majority of the current resident population. The author also makes the case that immigration is, and always has been, of much less importance to American economic growth than is conventionally assumed.” (Brim low P 1995)…

    How can we fix our neighbors’ problems when we ourselves do not have our own house straight? To Trump, we must become a role model, to become a shining beacon, for the rest of the world. However, it is a mistake to assume that we can resolve our civil issues before conditions in other nations deteriorate beyond repair. The story of the US is a story of constant strive toward the riddance of the ever present civil injustices. Starting with our revolution for independence, followed by the eventually abolition of slavery, then the civil rights movement in the mid-twentieth century and the current contention with the police force, new problems have always sprouted from the cracked pavement of our society. Yet, during that time, the US was able to fight off the oppressive forces of Hitler’s Germany and USSR’s communism. And whether we agree with the outcomes or not, the US was successful in getting its way by overthrowing Saddam Hussein in an effort to spread democracy or find the WMD. From these events, we see that the US is a fully capable “lecturer” despite being handicapped by national issues. Turning to an isolationist approach would have unforeseen impacts as we loosen the pressure on more volatile nations to respect civil liberties and human rights…

    The short summarized version of the filmy I.O.U.S.A. clarified some information that I had learned about in my AP Government class such as the deficit and how we got in such a big hole. History does repeat itself and this clips goes on to show how the US have been in debt since independence. This is surprising to me because the US has been considered the richest country for so long but we have always suffered somewhat of a deficit or debt. The video shows that we have had a trade surplus for only four years and the rest has been trade deficits meaning more import than exports. This really shocks me and really lets the people know that in the past decade there has not been significant progress in my point of view. Although it does take time to dig out of a deficit, our country does not show too many signs of positivity at the moment. The federal debt says its is 8.7 trillion but now it is a little less than double around 15 trillion dollar which is a huge deficit. We are also in debt to other countries, which did not surprise me because at the same time we lend money. I do not think that the US is not in the position to be lending money out to other countries. What they should be doing is focusing on the stimulation of our economy through steady tax raises, job opportunities, and a balanced. It is a shock to hear that we have not had a balanced budget since before former President Bill Clinton. I believe having a balanced budget is the first step to a good fiscal year and a good way to recover from a recession that we are still feeling the after burn of. Now I also am more informed about the Social Security situation. We will continue to pay for Social Security only to pay for the “baby boomers” because of our debt, which I knew but did not fully understand. The fact that a majority of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck just goes to show how Americans are behaving just like their country. That is no way to live because a hard worker…

    To start with, it is essential to note that this is indeed a hard undertaking— but not entirely insuperable. In addition, the cure to the issues bedeviling politics of America may not yield instant results. There, however, is hope that a consistent implementation of the following, coupled with the adoption of good will among the American elites and politicians, may yield likeable fruits.…

    We have a great task laid before us: to make this country greater than it ever was before. Our economy is failing, our enemies do not fear us, our citizens are being denied the medical care they deserve, Government spending is out of control, our immigration policy is not effective nor efficient, and race relations are continuously dividing our citizens. However, I urge you to not distress. Instead, you should look forward to the great future that lays just down the road.…

    The Rest Cure

    The Victorian period consisted of exhausting expectations of mannerly behavior, especially on women. Etiquette rules around this time constricted women from their attired to their acts. The most influential cultural idea during the 19th century was the inferiority of women compared to men. In comparison to today, women were expected to focus on their homes and families. In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Charlotte Perkins Gilman offers insight into the Victorian time and its societal norms. Besides providing the characters’ comments and actions, Gilman also introduces the “rest cure.” Furthermore, she utilizes a literary device to appeal to the readers and justify her actions. This essay will carefully use The Rest Cure by Ellen L. Bassuk and Paula…

    Throughout passage three, it was apparent that there were different words and phrases that had alternative meanings. Such phrases could change the amount to which the United States needs to reduce immigration. A phrase stating that the government needs to drastically reduce immigration to the United States advocates many different meanings. What does drastically reduce imply? Is it thousands? Millions? This part of the topic is presumably unclear. Furthermore, we are confident that the United States is not only overpopulated but are suffering other consequences such as high unemployment and serious water pollution. In this section, there are many words that have obscure and unclear meanings. What is ‘overpopulation’ for a country? How are Americans suffering from the consequences? It is also undefined the seriousness of the water pollution. Are there dangerous toxins in the water? Is it filled with garbage and sewage? In conclusion, there are many words and phrases in the author’s article that need clarifying.…
