Women were also a part of the political changes of the progressive era by finally receiving the right to vote after many years of rallying and protesting via numerous organizations. By gaining the right to vote, women were now able to be a part of choosing who the next leader of their country would be, thus having an impact on the country’s future in social, economic, and political fields.…
As Joe Barton once said, “Our flag honors those who have fought to protect it, and is a reminder of the sacrifice of our nation’s founders heros.” Our flag is not to be knelt upon, but to stand as one together, remembering how Veterans risked their lives everyday to go to war and give us freedom today. The least we can do is to thank you. You gave me a future, freedom of speech, and an education, and so many more things.…
America has given my generation, many gifts including, keeping us safe. First, the military defend my country from our enemies. Second, many men and women that have come together served in wars and saved my country. Lastly, the military has helped us by sacrificing their lives for ours, defending rights and freedom, and sheltering us.…

Common tasks now like being able to vote and owning property are no longer an issue because of the laws of equality the American government has implemented into the constitution. Before these were major issues and it shows now how far society has come to where those simple things are almost forgotten of how much women had to fight for. Women even to this day feel like they don’t have equal rights and that is still true in some parts. They still do not have the equal pay that they would like and still are looked down as they are not superior or equal to…
During America’s early history as a nation, women were denied some of the key rights enjoyed by male citizens. For example, married women couldn’t own property and had no legal claim to any money they might earn, and no female had the right to vote. Women were expected to focus on housework and motherhood, not politics.…
Even though women did not get the right to vote after the Revolution women did get the sense of feeling more independent. During the American Revolution women got to take a break from day to day household chores and instead actually be a part in the fight for independence. Women during the American Revolution didn’t only work in factories to help produce bullets and help feed the men but they also fought on the battle field alongside the white males and slaves. One example of a women fighting alongside the men is Debora Sampson who went uncover as a man in order to be able to fight in the Continental Army in the American Revolution. This sense of freedom from doing household chores and taking care of children made women feel independent and…
Can you believe that the United States of America has been a county since the late 1700’s, and the laws and rights that applied back then still apply today? Think about everything that has shifted since then. We have medicines, strong education, and even new technology that is still being produced today. I believe that America’s gift to my generation is technology and medicines, and also freedom.…
In America, freedom is the gift to my generation. Speak freely, vote, or purchase whatever you want. It’s a responsibility such as driving safely, keeping a job, and serving in a jury with other citizens. Freedom is a choice of who you want to be, where you want to work hand, and how you will act in this world is it true that this world is it true that this precious gift, this box loaded with golden treasure, has been paid for by the sacrifice of others.…
In the story "The Things They Carried," Tim O 'Brien talks a group of soldiers in the Vietnam War. He does this by describing the items that each of them carries with him during the march. The things that the soldiers carry with them are both physical and mental items and what these things are depends upon the soldier. They carry the basic "necessities" for survival and the bare minimum to make life as civilized as possible. But they also carry memories, and fears, and it is mental items like these that are the main focus of the story. The weight of these items is as real as that of any physical ones, and unlike those physical objects, they are not easily gotten rid of.…
The American Dream is something that is unique to America, there is no European Dream or the Canadian Dream, just the American Dream — something Alexis de Tocqueville referred to as American exceptionalism. For centuries, people have flocked to the United States in hopes to attain the prosperity that this country offers. At a time where political figures and the new generations of Americans are leaning further and further towards the idea of Socialism, it is more important now than ever to remember why the founding fathers of this country worked so hard for to build the foundation of which makes this country so unique. And why so many people died trying to make their way to Ellis Island. Today, a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist is running…
America’s gift to my generation is freedom, America is now a symbol of freedom. Ever since July 4, 1776 America has been free. The most recognized laws for freedom in America is the original ten amendments. The first amendment states that you have the right of freedom of speech. That basically says you can’t say whatever you want and you can’t be criminalized for it. That is one gift America has given to my generation out of many. Another amendment probably the most recognized amendment is the second amendment stating that the American citizen has the right to bare arms. The only reason we have these rights is because of veterans willing to sacrifice their own lives to give us these freedoms. My father and brother…
It is easily conceivable that American exceptionalism has not been embraced by other countries. This is because that U.S. foreign policy and its lack of consistency based on exceptionalism, which claims American supremacy and missionary role, are effortlessly translated into “moral arrogance” (Davis and Lynn-Jones, 1987, p.31). However, the scepticism towards American exceptionalism has also become pervasive among American public, who once deeply believed in it. According to Pew Research Center, only 28% of the American public considers their country as the greatest country in the world, with a sharp decline from 38% in 2011 (Tyson, 2014). The survey shows that the trend is observed among every age groups but particularly obvious among younger…
