In Ann Hulbert's "Beyond the Pleasure Principle", she outlines the Millennial Generation and some of the qualities that set this unique generation apart from the rest of the generations. The Millennial Generation is at one of the greatest social crossroads in our history as a country, as political ideology divides the nation like no time ever before. We as a generation are growing up in a time when political ideology threatens to gridlock the country; A time where media outlets spin and manufacture the news to suit one political ideology or the other; A time in which multiple social issues are being pushed to the forefront of political platforms. This is the setting for my generation and the influence that it has on us. I am the Millennial Generation.…
Our Founding Fathers established a stable government which allowed us to have the freedoms and rights bestowed in the Constitution. They gave all they had to ensure liberty for America, something that many people still do not recognize today. We live in a society where many people have no recognition of where their freedoms have come from or the limitations to those freedoms. We take our inalienable rights for granted each day without realizing.…
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.…
America’s Gift to my Generation is that we can walk out of our houses and not be afraid to die at any second. In some countries, people have to live their life in constant fear of dying.…
I can express my opinion on various subjects without the worry of being prosecuted or persecuted. I can speak out for or against my Government. Americans can have as many or as few children as they please, without the government interfering in their lives. The Government does not tell Americans that they may only have 1 or 2 children. Women can vote, show their faces, and speak without fear of being beaten.…
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.…
Do you know when our national anthem first came to be the official anthem of the United States of America? The anthem was written by Francis Scott Key and became the official American anthem on March 3, 1931. America's gift to my generation is freedom of expression. Freedom of expression means we have the right to express our opinions in many ways. Currently, the professional football players of our nation seem to be using their freedom of expression to, in my opinion, disgrace our country's anthem.…
“America is the land of opportunities,” is the cliche manifested in Jamaicans like me from parents, friends, and the media simultaneously. The profound amount of opportunities America has to offer attracted many people here including my family and I. I identified early on that if I wanted to be successful in life I would have to leave Jamaica in order to capitalize on the educational and future career opportunities in America.…

Also,freedom because we can do what we want while pertaining the laws .Last but not least is technology is great because we can use it for our education. Technology is the best yet to happen to America because we can call people who live far .There are many great gifts and some bad!…

We get a free public education, free from slavery, freedom to wear what we want. We have health care system to keep us healthy. We have the right to our own success and our own failures. We have Freedom of Religion as well.…
One right we get is the right to education. This is a gift because if we did not have a right to education we would not be able to do as much good in the world. Getting a right to education is essential, which is why I think the U.S gives children the right to education. This right also gives all children a chance to learn and do great things.…
The young Americans of this time constituted a generation birth marked for greatness. A generation of Americans that would take it's place in American history. It may be historically premature to judge the greatest generation but indisputably there are common traits that cannot be denied. It's a generation of towering achievement and modest demeanor. A legacy of their formative years when they were participants in and witnesses to sacrifices of the highest order.…
Throughout the world, the United States is infamous for its guaranteed freedom to its citizens. People travel from all around many different parts of the world to get a taste of the lifestyle and opportunity the United States citizen’s are offered everyday. This nation thrives on preserving our personal freedoms, property, and liberty; moreover, it is the nation’s promise to its citizens. These rights are binded in our coveted Bill of Rights and the Constitution, a document for the people by the people. Many people can find their own personal definition of what they believe to be the American Promise; however, growing up I have always believed and had been taught that the American Promise was the opportunity to live out my American Dream. I was always taught as a young girl that I could be anything I wanted to be with zero limitations and I have always believed that was America’s promise to me. Throughout history, our nation has expanded, changed, and developed over the many decades where we see that this nation has broken and kept its promise.…
