Factors Of Being An American
Being an American means different things to different people. To me, being an American encompasses a number of factors. One of the factors in the first amendment of the constitution, freedom of religion. That right is giving Americans the ability to to practice and believe in a religion of their choice. This also give Americans the right to not believe or practice a religion. This is American to me because, not all countries have the freedom to practice or not practice whatever religion they chose. In those countries they all have to practice the same religion. In addition I also believe that women's rights is another part of being an American. Women used to not be able to: vote, own their own land and being able to go to college. Seeing that
in some foreign countries women can’t go to college or are told they shouldn't go to college. Makes me think that women’s rights is part of being an American. My third factor is the right to vote. I believe that this is American because not all countries get to choose their leaders. Also all americans can vote if their 18 or older. To summarize, being and American to me means: freedom of religion, women's rights, and voting rights.
