Is American Melting Pot Or A Salad Bowl
In this three hundred word essay I will be giving information on how an American identity is created. When the United States was founded in the 18th century, Americans have defined themselves not by their race, religion or ethnic identity, but by their common beliefs and values in individual freedom.
Is American a Melting Pot or a Salad Bowl? In lots of ways The United States of America is considered a “Melting Pot” because the United States of America’s people don’t care or acknowledge that your race is different from other peoples. Obviously you see someone’s color or race but you’re not gonna judge them or treat them different. The United States of America is a “Salad Bowl” because sometimes people do judge you on your race or religious
beliefs. In Airports sometimes people from Iraq or Saudi Arabia for example are just automatically gonna be checked because what has happened in the past with people taking over planes, bring bombs aboard the planes, and the 9/11 attacks. The president at that time was George W. Bush, on that dreadful day he was at an elementary school in Florida. When he returned to the White House he addressed to the nation that he vowed to “find those responsible and bring them to justice.”Another thing that brought American citizens and government together was president John F. Kennedy’s assignation on November 22, 1963, Dallas, TX.
The American Identity embraces all kinds of people, it also creates a large menu of opportunities to make and remake themselves. Americans historically scorned efforts to trade on “accidents of birth” such as great inherited wealth or social status. Americans instead respect the self made man or woman, especially when that person has overcome humongous obstacles to meet with success. The individuals in The United States of America have created, their own definitions of success. The successes of people vary from sports to music. Because American vary in so many different ways one cannot be judged for his or her color of skin, ethnicity, or religion. All Americans have different political beliefs and embrace them in way one may not see as honorable or trustworthy, but in the end, an American, is an American.
We have all heard that Donald Trump is going to “Make America Great Again” but how is going to do that? He says that he’s going t”o build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.” I believe that he was destroying his opportunities and he should focus more on the country and not try to pull us apart.
