Modesty In America
The America I Believe In Did you know that people from Syria are afraid to leave their home? The women in that country have to be escorted by a male. They also have to wear a Hijab over their face. The reason for the Hijab is that god has instructed women to wear it to fulfill his meaning of modesty. Sometimes men wear the Hijab to show a sign of modesty. The America I believe in is a place where we can choose to speak, eat, think, wear, and believe anything you want.
When you think of your education you probably think that it is dumb that you have to get an education. People from other countries sometimes don’t even get an education. We have the right to pick our education and find the career path of our choice. Young women from Nepal are

    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.

    America the Beautiful: What We’re Fighting For by Dinesh D’Souza focuses on the tension between America and the Islamic countries. Islamic countries have a very set way of life while in America everyone has their own choice. There is no set of plan. This idea threatens the Islamic ideals. There are many advantages that America has over other countries. D’Souza called American society, “the greatest, freest, and most decent society in existence,” and goes as far as to say that Islamic societies produce, “wretched, servile, fatalistic and intolerant human beings.” I really like the way the author compares the Islamic culture and the American culture. The Islamic fundamentalist wants to govern their people by means of violence and oppression in the name of Allah; whereas, the American culture, gives the people the freedom to choose their own destiny. In the American culture, the government and religion are kept separate to avoid abuse of power; while the Islam wants to be the government and the religion as well. Even though the American culture is new compared to the Islam, it has evolved a lot faster for the benefit of the people. I try not to judge a culture, which I do not really understand, but a feeling of indignation overruns me when I read or see how women are treated in some of those Islamic countries. Women have no rights and are like properties of their husbands In addition, the author in this article defines freedom as the liberty to do good or evil. However, by this definition, freedom implies the liberty of doing good or bad things, so does this mean that there are bad people in our culture? Well, the answer is yes, but the good news is that even bad people are protected in our culture; everyone has rights in America. America is not perfect; however, it is the best the world has to offer. It is the job of our generation to make America a better place for generations to come. 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.…

    Bodily Perfection: American Obsession

    America is a growing and changing nation, but one characteristic has outlasted the years. The obsession for a socially-accepted body, whether it be wearing a corset, being big and voluptuous or, for men, being muscular and lean, has always existed. The culprit, a negative body image, now haunts approximately eight million people across the United States and is beginning to seep into more American minds as the “Perfect” disease spreads (Davis 8). In the past decade, the pressure to have “the perfect body” has dramatically increased in America; every individual in this nation has a different view of what “the perfect body” actually is, and many people who are seeking it are willing to take radical…

    What America Means To Me Research Paper

    America means a lot of things to me, like freedom, safe, brave, equal, and responsibility. The reason I picked these things is because I think they are all very important to this country. The reason why I picked freedom is because in America, you have the right to do and say whatever you want. For example, the phrase freedom of speech, which means that someone’s right to say something is protected within certain limits. What that means is that someone can say whatever they want, but after you say it, there could be consequences, like someone getting hurt if you yelled “fire” in a place that has a lot of people or if you walked into an airport and yelled “bomb.” You have the right to say that, but if you do, there will be consequences like going to jail or something like that. There is also something called freedom of expression, which means people can behave like they want to and wear what they want to.…

    Meredith

    Growing up in America while having parents from Bangladesh was always challenging. My sister and I were raised learning about Bengali customs and culture while also learning about the American customs and traditions in school. Life in Bangladesh is distinctly different; young girls are taught from an unusually young age that their purpose in the world is getting married and tending to her husband's needs all her life. Thus, growing up to old fashioned Bengali parents, my sister and I learned skills such as cooking and cleaning that my mom believed were necessary to know. However, being a citizen of America I became exposed to woman's rights, and the opportunities women in America were fortunate to have. In Bangladesh, young women are always second in line when it comes to opportunities such as education. Over the years, however, women in Bangladesh learned to exercise their rights and fight for equality. In America, we are taught that a woman obtains the same number of opportunities as a man anywhere, most importantly education wise. In America just like many other countries, women have continually fought for equality, whether it was simply to vote in an election, or to play in an all males sports team. I believe years of relentless fighting for woman's rights have paid off, and an Universtiy such as Meredith exemplifies just how far the world has come to accepting woman's rights. Universities such as Meredith can help a woman focus more, which can in turn help her future. That is what America is known for; everyone obtains equal opportunities to get an education and become successful if they work hard to do so. America has come abundantly far in equality for all, but there still remains strong competitions in the workplace between male and female workers. In recent news, it can be seen that discrimination against females still takes place in the workplace. I believe women should never doubt themselves when it comes to professional circumstances, which is why I…

    Dress Codes In America

    54 percent of schools in America have dress codes.This issue is important because, they have caused numerous lawsuits, and safety concerns across America.Yes some people believe that school dress codes aren't necessary, but they are necessary, because they help promote school safety. Requiring students to conform to a dress code is beneficial to the school experience, because they prevent gangs from identifying each other and help prevent gang violence, they decrease the gap between rich and poor kids, and they help easily identify non-students.…

    Respect In The United States

    Emigrating here from a different country you would think that respect is definitely an aspect that remains the same throughout the whole world, but not necessarily so. Respect in the United States is virtually nonexistent, particularly the respect that children have towards their parents. That’s something I really can’t wrap my head around, coming from a southeast Asian country. Respect is something that us foreign kids are taught at a very young age, unlike here. Here it seems like even seniors in high school don’t know a single thing about respect whatsoever.…

    Personal Narrative: I Believe In America

    “Brave hearts do not back down.” This quote is special to me because I know people I would consider as brave or a hero, but my top pick would be the soldiers. We can all agree that there is much more that our extraordinary veterans go through in order to make this nation the very best. I believe in an America that offers every child access to a world-class education, gives back to our current and fallen heroes, and that creates a common sense gun law in an effort to save our loved ones.…

    “The America I believe in” is not what most people think of. I think about what happened back in the year of “1918.” Yes, I understand, why would I think of that? Well, like I said, when we get home, we relax, we don’t go into a BLOODY battle or have to witness the horror of senseless DEATH. “Relaxation,” if you haven’t noticed that’s a word we take for granted. This also goes along with these following word: humanity, peace, health, education and FREEDOM. I have selected these words today to tell you that not everyone has that.…

    Equality In America

    There are three words that explain what America means to me, sacrifice, freedom, and equality. Sacrifice, is putting yourself in front of the danger in front of you, to stand up for what is right and to selflessly suffer for others to have blessed lives. Freedom, is to be able to do what you please without the fear of persecution. Equality, is a strong word that has a deep meaning, it means, being able to treat everybody the same even if some hold a higher ranking. All of these things are what Americans do as a whole united nation, by sacrificing, getting freedom, and equality. This is what America means to…

    Respect In America

    Each individual who lives in this world is raised with values. As growth and development occur so does learning. An important and common value that should be taught is respect. In America, respect has changed over the course of many years. In the early days many did not have to work for respect, it was just a given. This happened because those people most likely withheld authority. Today, that is not the case. In America, the problem with respect has resulted in many deaths. Those who hold authority are often captured in the news. Police Officers especially. Numerous police officers are amongst those who have lost their lives. For someone who has the job of keeping the public at peace and most importantly safe, they should not be rewarded…

    Being Educated Young Girls Essay

    Every single being on this big, green Earth has a right to obtain it. The Malala Foundation is striving, and achieving, in inspiring young girls around the world to stand up and fight for their education. Women's’ education is being neglected, which is entirely unreasonable. Not only can the education of the female population around the world benefit their countries economically, it can ensure the health and well-being of the younger generations, as well as lower the infant mortality rate significantly. Like Mary Wollstonecraft stated in The Vindication of the Rights of Women, we should continue to push for rights, “till education becomes a grand national…

    Sexualization In American Culture

    Today, with the technology available, people are easily connected to the media whether it is for the news, the season premiere of an upcoming televised series, or the recent release of a video from a YouTube producer. Along with the mainstream media, people are flooded with hidden messages and exposed to unwanted materials. The modern American culture is based on the contents of media and is recycled through a process of demands and contributions. As a result, the American culture is exposed to a steady increase of sexualization within mainstream media, especially the hyper-sexualization of women (Task Force, 4). The American culture is exposing future generations to a world where sex is mainstream and popularized. Through the social learning…
