The poem "Let America Be America Again" by Langston Hughes purposefully is reminiscent of Walt Whitman’s "I Hear America Singing" in which Whitman is optimistic about this land of democratic opportunity.

For years‚ term limits have been a very sensitive topic in discussion as it is a debatable issue that contains two different sides; there should be term limits and there shouldn’t be any term limits.
