Thomas Paine Thesis

Argumentative Essay In Thomas Paine's "Rights of Man", Paine characterizes America through its government, in which if just, will result in the retirement of difficulties. Although posed in Paine's time, the extent to Paine's characterization still holds true today. Thomas Paine is characterized as an intellectual, a revolutionary, a supporter of American independence from England, and a pamphleteer. As a pamphleteer, Paine wrote how he thought America to be a place of gathering amongst all people of different cultures. Paine emphasized how through the simple accomplishment of an operating government focusing on the construction of the principles of society and the rights of man, would result in the cordial unison of all. America itself
is made up of many different people from all different nations, in which bringing with them their own form of governing, as well as their own language and religions. So through these different cultures, how are they all to get along with one another? Government plays a key part in the linking of different cultures as all shall follow that one government. As far as Paine's extent to his characterization of America being a land of various cultures, Paine wouldn't be too far off. Paine's idea of a unifying and just government isn't outrageous either besides the fact that the idea is near impossible to accomplish. Inequality is inevitable as not everyone has the same mindset as others. Many are prejudice. Many discriminate as well. Many are classified in classes in which are dependent on social status, economic status, and emotional status. In America today, one is most likely to see the tendency to be an individual rather than of a crowd. Why is that? Many people have pride in the sense of their own culture and aren't accustomed to adjusting to a different particular set of governing as others might appear to be. Although near impossible to accomplish, today the government is trying to better itself always, trying to form the most just guidelines in which all cultures should follow. And so, even though unproven, the idea of a just and constructing government still holds true.
