America has always been thought of as a land of freedom and salvation. America is a melting pot because of the immigrants that from all over the world that came to this country. Most of these immigrants came to America to escape the harsher conditions of their home countries. Here, in America, people have rights, rights that the government guarantees to its citizens. The constitution is the law of the land and ensures all of those rights are protected.…
Many cultures from different countries have come over to America and made it a “Melting Pot.” Each year in America, many immigrants come from different countries and shares their unique cultures with America. As Marin used the term Melting pot in his essay “Towards something American,” it describes as an unused furnace that does not burn until imported values and lives stop being fed into the system; moreover, Marin mentioned that Americans have no culture. On the other hand, Taylor describe in her article “Analogies for America: Beyond the Melting Pot “that different melting pot is actually a blend of our different cultural and ethnic background because Americans can and do come from all ethnicities and races; therefore, we all…
“God is making the American.” In Israel Zangwill’s The Melting Pot, America is concerned as the new world. Zangwill wrote the play in the early nineteen hundreds when immigration to the Americas was sufficiently increasing. Many Americans were against the idea of so many different people entering ‘their’ country; while immigrants saw the Americas as a place to which they had spent their whole lives coming. In The Melting Pot, immigration causes a rift in those residing in America.…
Harry Truman once said “America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.” The America I believe in is strong, powerful, and relentless. America is Beautiful. My home is steady and unbroken, and nothing can take that away from me.…
To be an American is to have freedom to do or to believe whatever you want. America itself was founded on the principle of religious freedom, and that still stands today. The "melting pot" of cultures and beliefs from all around the world create a new culture in itself, one that makes America and Americans unique. Every American can write and publish any opinions they feel need sharing. Information, and the wide and unrestricted access of it, make Americans who we…
America is a beautiful country and I am proud to call it my home. This is a beautiful land for millions that grants its people plentiful opportunities to start a wonderful life. The United States of America is the most honorable country to live in; we have been credited for our vast amount of freedom to all. America can easily be claimed the greatest nation in the world. We do, however, have an issue, an issue with the homosexuals. The true American people need to do something about this blasphemy.…
When asked the question “what is an american?”, almost every single person would provide a different answer. This question is very open ended, and there are infinite possibilities for a response. Being an american is not something that can be decided by a few physical criterion, it is something more. To be an american is, according to Patricia Fernandez, “a state of mind,” based on a person’s beliefs rather than their tangible features. Therefore, I believe that an American is someone who considers America to be their home, believes in freedom and equality for all people regardless of race, social status, gender, or ethnicity, and is loyal and supportive to the United States.…
What is an American? Americans are self-spoken individuals full of radical ideas and egotistical spirits. This spirit has created the supreme economic monster that is America today. America is about freedom of speech and press, freedom of religion and most importantly freedom of choice. These three key components make up what it means to be an American.…
Through our freedom that we fought for in the early years. With the equality that we are still in a great fight to achieve. The spirit of democracy that runs through Americans and the country itself. The people who gave their lives so that we may live in the country we live in now. The honor that the brave men and women earned through their bravery in fighting for what's right. Lastly the integrity that we show in what we believe is right. As Americans we don't realize the blessings we have and the life we are living. I believe that American means home to me. The question still remains what does America mean to…

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?…
Many been asked who they think Americans are? How will you describe them? In my words i say Americans are brave, hard workers, and equal. American have came a long way from where they started made many accomplishments and will continue doing so.…
The America I believe in is a beautiful and fascinating place. It is full of so many people that every now and again need to build more places for people to work. But the only reason we have a great deal of people in America is for the cause of some people wanting to get away from the wars, to help their family while they are in need, to not have to worry about getting bombed every day, but to be free. They also come here to get jobs and go to school to learn how to get jobs. And to get the chance to actually believe in something other than an object or their rulers. And since we are in America, we don’t have to worry about that because we have the freedom to believe in who or what we want. We have the freedom to say or at least think what…
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. The country has everything I need to live and survive with barely any struggle. First, America has so many citizens that are willing to volunteer and or help others. 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.…
There are many beliefs that define America. One of these is hope/ the dream/ optimism. This is an American idea because it is something that has shown throughout history. It is something that every American can relate to. It also is an idea that has many other ideas sprinkled into it. Hope is defined as “the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best.” This is a feeling shared by every American at some point in their life. Dreaming is also something every American does. There is something that everyone wants, and dreams for. They then have to be optimistic and strive to complete their goal to reach their dream. From the Founding Fathers, to the immigrants, and even in today’s society, hope/ the dream/ optimism has been a very important American idea.…
