Patel believes that America cherishes it’s diversity, and McGregor does not think America cherishes it’s diversity.

The two authors, Anna Quindlen and John F. Kennedy used distinct dictions which made what was similar and different stand out.…

But the choice we make toward that end lead to the very opposite of diversity” (63).…
Many think that diversity and individuality are encouraged more than uniformity and conformity. Different types of people have different beliefs in this specific topic.

America’s diversity is a big topic people debate about. America is filled with different races and religions, and we usually all get treated the same with laws and the government helps no matter what our differences. But there are some citizens in America who don't accept diversity. Eboo Patel does agree, America has improved in accepting diversity but Jen McGregor completely disagrees and says all of the Grammy winners are white old men. With both of these sides of the argument, I tend to go with Patel’s claim more because it is very true, America has improved so much over time.…

Proud patriots of the country would boast that America is a place where everyone can achieve their “American Dream” and find the life that everyone(supposedly) seeks.

Meanwhile, other authors, such as Allen Ginsberg are skeptical of the boastings of true diversity and see America in a much more critical perspective in terms of its diversity, or lack thereof.…

Patel’s response is reinforcing the idea, that any race or religion is allowed to enter the country, and also that they will be treated equally to others. An examination of the quote, highlights that America cherishes diversity because it is concluding that diversity “defines the essence of…
