Examples Of My Vision For America
My vision for America
Deprived of a voice, mute to the feeling of liberty; I grew up, in a land where freedom was unknown. America, in contrast, a beacon of hope, always standing mighty and tall with her soil sweet and tender with freedom, her horizons boundless and her people free. Growing up without voice, without freedom, without hope for change, my people sought to reach America, a land whose name echoes through time, roaring as thunder, drawing us to her. This is the America, whose arms held me with security and lighted the way to guide me towards greatness and the opportunity to mend my own destiny. I became captivated by this sense of security, of boundless freedom, and from there on America became my vision of peace and tranquility, the place that I would call home. If ever fierce winds where to blow, we would write in our own blood “We are the home of the brave, and the land of the free”

Yet it's precisely there, where our strength as a nation resides. The collaborations of ethnic backgrounds and cultures is what makes this nation mighty and what will drive our future generations towards success. America, as mother following nurturing instincts, should embrace us all; she shall see no color, she shall speak no language, she shall have no religion but love. She has her own flag, yet she will fight for others, she has her own melody, yet she will tune to another’s. And in such visions, no child would ever be shunned by stereotypes, may their dreams never be un-propelled, may their future be as bright as their

    America, well known for being the land of hope and freedom, inspires copious levels of immigration fueled by the concept of the American Dream; yet current society contradicts the Land of Liberty’s ideal of diversity. For example, though immigration has generally only increased diversity since Lyndon B Johnson’s quotas and the Diversity Visa Lottery, our current administration significantly contrasts the American image. President Donald Trump recently…

    The article “Why the U.S. Is So Good at Turning Immigrant Into Americans” gives us a glimpse of a small town exploding from the new diversification. People in the small town are new to opening their minds to new things, but some still have more to learn, since in the high school there are student from “more than 50 countries”. It may seem overwhelming at first to those who seek limitations, but to the people finding new homes for themselves and their family, while still able to express their culture is priceless. If more people continue learning about different cultures around the world, the United States will continue to grow in its goal for its people to be more open to individuality (Source F). The fight for individuality has been a long fought battle, and “Conflicts of American Immigrants: Assimilate of Retain Ethnic Identity” gives us a view of the initial fight of individuality.…

    Therefore, with confidence, I can say that America is neither a “melting pot” nor a “mosaic.” Though many different cultures have flocked to America, America’s intolerance for diversity is obvious; someone who is culturally different will never be able to walk down an American street without stares. More appalling, however, is the fact that those who are culturally different will face job discrimination if they choose to express their identity instead of cover it. Even on my own campus, diversity is seen as unimportant, as our diversity funding is stripped from underneath us. America will never be a melting pot nor a mosaic until it can learn to accept its own diversity, allowing it to flourish instead of killing it off on its arrival. In today’s political climate, it would make me incredibly happy to see America open its arms to other cultures instead of attempting to shut them out completely. Again, it seems as if history is repeating itself as we travel down a path of a non-inclusive America, disregarding the plight of cultural minorities for the majority’s “gain,” forgetting the importance of multiculturalism and marching towards…

    For our nation to thrive Buchannan note that unity in diversity can’t exist. National identity must supersede state identity for America to survive (68). America experienced a dramatic increase in immigration in the last few years. Soon European-Americans will be a minority in the nation. Buchanan asks, “And when that day comes, what then will united us as a people (68)?” Racial and religious diversity…

    As tolerance in each other’s differences begins, so does our hope of progress. America being built upon the foundation of all men being created equal is often questioned for it truly is the unique diversity that impacts the country. In fact, many would agree on the “little point… [of isolating] anything… resembling nation character” as it is…

    In “Let America be America Again”, Langston Hughes speaks on his opinions of the American Dream. Throughout the poem, Hughes compares his hopes and dreams for America with the reality of life for those outside of certain cultural, religious, and societal groups. This is a dramatic and diverse poem, fluctuating from peaceful moments to angry explosions. The author starts by mentioning of the key vision of America, where there is the hope for liberty and equality. Yet for the oppressed races, American life has been one of persecution. Writing now in the first person, the author empathizes with all struggling Americans, "I am the farmer/ the worker/ the Negro/ I am the people." With the gift of optimism, the writer urges "We, the people, must reclaim the land/ and make America again!"…

    Diversity is the main factor in bringing America’s heritages together. America is not defined by a color, yet it is defined by numerous distant factors. Source 2 proves, how America is not defined by one detail; by saying, “Alongside the pain of immigration, then, and the possibility, there…

    My vision for America is where all the homeless have a nice home and a hot meal every day. They are living on the streets every day and they beg us for money which we have a warm hot meal so we don’t have to beg people, and so we can support our families. Homeless people have to go to homeless shelters every time there is a storm so they can be warm and safe during the storm. The only time people care about homeless people is after a storm or before a storm .That’s why there are no homeless in my vision for America.…

    America became a country on July 4th, 1776; over 240 years ago. That’s greater than 240 years of generations of people trying to define what it means to be an American, but few still stand true today from that long ago. Being accepting of others, not only other ethnic groups but fellow Americans as well, is one way in which things have not changed from the first American generation to the latest. One of the longest standing traits of the “poster child” American is being courageous, whether it be to earn our freedom or to fight for our rights as a civilization. Taking pride in our country is one of the oldest, and strongest, qualities of an American that was so important in the forming of our country and of equal importance, if not more so, today. Our generation defines what it means to be an American with the simple, and somewhat original, manner of being accepting of others, being courageous, and taking pride in our country.…
