What is “America” means to me My poster board is broken up into five different sections. My first section of my collage is pictures of America’s most famous symbols‚ such as the White House‚ the flag‚ Mount Rushmore‚ and the Statue of Liberty. The second section of my collage is labeled ideals and values. The pictures I choose were family‚ wealth‚ products‚ and democracy.

Welfare‚ it’s what is Wrong with America Today. American conservatives feel the welfare system‚ as we know‚ needs to be completely dismantled‚ or in the least‚ restructured with extreme limitations on who can receive benefits and how benefits are used. The good intentions of welfare advocates have over burdened American citizens with perhaps the heaviest burden placed upon the ones they intended to help the most. Liberals would suggest the wealthiest of Americans should bare a larger burden

Different cultural practices affect every area of life‚ the family dynamic‚ labor force‚ education‚ cultural economics‚ death‚ reproduction‚ religion etc. The cultural practices in the United States are eclectic in many ways considering all the different ethnicities that reside in the U.S. In Japan‚ the religious views tend to lend towards liberal views on the family dynamic and sexual expression. I intend to compare the differences between the two countries as it relates to sex and gender roles

America is a wonderful place to live‚ because we are free. Freedom is important‚ and many people in other countries do not have much freedom. I am glad I have a place like this to grow up in; where I know that I can be equal with other races and other genders. Also‚ I am glad I have a place like this that will respect me and I know it will be a great place to have my children grow up in.

Nikola Tesla was extremely significant in America in the late 19th century socially and economically by engineering‚ implementing‚ and advancing the field of electricity. When Tesla came to America in 1884 from Paris‚ the United States was powering homes and businesses with direct current electricity.

industrialization of America began in the 1860s through the 1900s and jobs and manufacturing started to replace human workers with machinery. Industrialization caused a big change in the country that affected a lot of people who had jobs. Getting jobs and making money was harder to do‚ so people were desperate for jobs.

1. Most people wouldn’t realize it but cultural appropriation have been around for more years than any of us ever knew. Cultural appropriation didn’t just start in the United States a couple of years ago‚ it actually started all the way back in Africa 4 million years ago.

there was about it. Well to be honest I never knew the half of things‚ when it came to what all the different cultures went through here I was amazed at how people acted.
