What does one usually envision when they think of America? Stereotypically responses include apple pie, cheeseburgers, liberty, and baseball. All the previously mentioned things have a significant cultural place in America. For example, baseball has been our "National Pastime" for over 100 years. While maintaining its status as our national pastime, baseball has influenced our society throughout its storied history. Baseball players are superstar icons who have a gripping effect on society. Because the high stature baseball has held over the years, it is a surprise that it has recently aided in a new cultural phenomenon of victimization. The current popular trend in America is to be considered a victim. Jack Solomon and Sonia Maasik explain…

Americans believe they live in a beautiful country. There are many advantages to living in America, such as having a secure government, a controlled military, a judicial system that works, breathtaking landscapes, cleanliness, and the many freedoms that are granted to citizens in the U.S. Constitution. America became a rising power early in its life, allowing for these benefits. Although the United States of America is one of the great world powers, and perhaps the most supreme, its economic practices are driven toward the idea of spending and consumerism and the population’s values have become entirely reconstituted since its founding.…

In this day and age, to be American is something frequently mocked. With all the stereotypes, it makes us wonder what it truly means to be American. Does it mean to be fat and unhealthy? Greedy and demanding? Racist and Harsh? This is the brand we are all marked with as a whole nation, but I reject these labels. To be an American is something we should be proud of. By the definition I see, it is something to be proud of, even in the darkest and harshest of times when we do things we will never forgive; these are just mistakes that many make, and it shouldn't deter us from taking pride in morals this country holds.…
When you hear the word "America", what do you think of? Many would associate this word with freedom, home, friendliness, opportunity, or even greatness. The truth of this reality is that America isn't what people imagine it to be. Americans suggest their country is the greatest place in the world but in fact the corruption, debt, lack of public services and the rude behavior of its people makes America come up short of other's expectations. We the people only imagine it to be great because we live here. The real question to ask yourself is whether everything you have to say about America is true?…
Welcome to the ball game where the batters hit, the pitchers stretch and the crowd is full of hotdogs and pretzels, then someone comes out sings the “Star Spangled Banner,” every one stands and puts everything down and their hand goes over their hearts, and then the everyone recites the Pledge of Allegiance. The importance of the Pledge of Allegiance has always been unnoticed by the younger generations of children who do not recite it everyday. When we were in grade school we recited it every day of the week and I take pride in the pledge that shows true patriotism and Americanism. Americanism, what is it? Someone on the street might say, “Well it might be being caring and nice to others, or helping someone in need.” Whenever I think of Americanism I think about the Pledge of Allegiance.…

The America that we live in in so hard to explain because it is so great that I can consider myself grateful to be living here in America.

Second, in America everyone can go to a public school and go to college. Third, in America everyone has the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, and the freedom of justice.…
In many opinions, being American means being patriotic, somewhat wealthy, and perhaps obese. There is a lot of stereotypes about being american, and most of them are not true.

Being an American in today’s world, have a broad definition especially from influential president candidates. However, three hundred years being an American meant that he/she wanted to have religious freedom from England. In the present 21st century, I personally have some positive and negative thoughts and belief of myself defining to be an American. As an American I am much fortunate than most people around the world that are not given the opportunity and freedom I have. On the other hand, I am being made fun of my skin color and stereotypes that this country has created about my kind of people. Being an American may have some very negative downside, but one thing I know I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.…
