schools; prayer in the classroom deviates from the Founding Father’s vision‚ excludes other religious activities/rituals and ostracizes individuals who do not participate in prayer in the classroom. For generations‚ children have said the Pledge of Allegiance in school‚ but many people might not know that the words “under God” were added to this declaration (Gaylor)‚ in 1954. Many consider Atheism as unpatriotic and ‘un-American’ as is communism” (Robinson). This simplistic mind set must have the

A country is like a quilt it’s built out of many pieces‚ the pieces being events and key features. And out of the many pieces that describes America‚ i have chose few things such as Uncle Sam‚ football‚ and Pledging Allegiance to the flag .Which are pretty good identifiable features of America‚ because of how they bring people together.

States. Seems pretty simple right? Well‚ not all Americans would agree. You see‚ being American is so much more than just living in the U.S. My definition of being an American is having pride‚ freedom and the feeling of honor when I say the Pledge of Allegiance and during the national anthem. Democracy‚ freedom‚ justice‚ and patriotism are all key words of an American. Not only is nationalism important to Americans‚ but we also accept people from all over the world.

The pledge of allegiance ends with “liberty and justice for all‚” but in reality‚ throughout most of American history‚ that has truly meant “liberty and justice for cisgendered‚ heterosexual‚ able-bodied‚ neurotypical‚ adult white males.” To make things even more complicated‚ we are still struggling to define who can be racially classified as “white” even today.

An american could mean so many things‚ what does it mean to you? Is being an american meaning you are born in the states or is it coming to the states and getting legal document to stay here?

The pride for their country is one main factor. In the short story

How can a person live without having rights for themselves? We started off fighting for the rights we have today back in the slavery. I think to myself how the United States would be if the people didn’t fight for rights. The most important rights in my eyes are freedom of speech‚ right to bear arms‚ a person shall be held under a fair trial of peers. Freedom of speech is very important because I feel like people should be able to say whatever is on their mind and not be ridiculed. For example a
