American Pride And Hard Work

Decent Essays
America is the land of the free and home of the brave. Built by strong Americans hands of men and women that worked day and night to make this country stand strong above any other country. However over the decade Americans has lost it ways the pride and hard work just one day vanish. America is no longer the land of the free nor the home of the brave it became a land that sale jobs overseas and a land that will leave a family hungry. However over the years President of the United State of America had promise to make America strong again in spite of their hard work they seem to lack potential in keeping their promise.

    America is a spirit. There is nothing as frustrating as turning on the television and hearing politicians, most of whom are in the right-wing, boiling this country down to a small set of founding principles. It would not be unimaginable that if a politician were to be asked to define America, he or she would say something along the lines of "America is a place that should provide equal opportunity to succeed, but also equal opportunity to fail". To those who have never struggled, vague promises of…

    The United States of America: “The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave,” as noted in Francis Scott Key’s, The Star Spangled Banner. But does America really justify this claim? During the early 19th century, America had seen hope, independence, and freedom. In fact, the “Declaration of Independence” epitomizes all three of these aspects. The “Declaration of Independence” granted the 13 original colonies freedom from Great Britain.…

    If George Washington would come back for one day and see how us Americans are acting and our patriotism towards America he wouldn’t be happy at all. In fact when George Washington said one of his quotes it stated “The name of American, which belongs to you in your natural capacity must always exalt the just pride of patriotism…..”, and what that is if you are an American you should always speak highly or never speak bad on Americas. The role of patriotism today isn’t very large on a lot of Americans. The patriotism isn’t strong like how it was when George Washington was president, so I think he wouldn’t be impressed with how things have changed greatly such as human rights, technology, and how most Americans are split up mostly because of…

    America is the land of the free, because of the brave. Americans enjoy many freedoms because of the democracy our ancestors fought very hard to establish. Freedom summarizes what being an American is about, but it’s not what an American is. An American is someone who is brave enough to do something even though the punishment is severe, someone who sees opportunity and stops at nothing to achieve it, and someone who doesn’t take the easy way out. Bravery is part of the definition of an American.…

    So it is clear that although America is the land of the free, a freedom to do what each person desires, America is becoming a nation of idiots, run by idiots for two main reasons. First, people prefer to be ignorant. But more importantly, society is wasting it's time with unimportant achievements, which is leading to a broken country that is falling from its long held position as the greatest country in the world. In addition, if the foundations of this country is damaged the rest of the country is going to be defective. This defectiveness will make everything crumble down at any second.…

    For as long as I can remember, America has been known for its freedom and seemingly endless opportunity. America 's most alluring aspect seems to be the American dream. According to historian and writer James Truslow Adams the American Dream is the, “dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.” (Adams, The Epic of America) While the American Dream is still widely known and idolized, it has become unobtainable. America 's goal in obtaining the American Dream has not changed, but the work citizens are willing to do to obtain this dream has declined drastically.…

    Theories such as Social Darwinism, Gospel of Wealth and Adam Smith's "invisible hand" attempted to justify the lack of government interference. After much conflict, and the staunch political support of many labor unions, the government's hand was forced and these conflicting interests fueled bitter debate and governmental intervention. American exceptionalism caused the industrialization of America and the rise of immoral, exploitative big businesses, consequently inciting class conflicts and the advancement of labor unions. American exceptionalism provoked the industrialization of America by setting the standard for U.S. business owners and laborers. With passing years, many innovative men sought to achieve the American Dream at a level no other had accomplished before.…

    Ethical ideals have reactions which can be used to either unify a nation and its participating members or distinguish amongst them. The words we use in our daily lexicon have the ability to unify and distinguish humans in matters of culture, race, religion, and politics. When did having a different skin color, partaking in a different culture, practicing a certain religion or being part of a different political party, entitles the “other side” to carry certain negative preconceived notions between one another. This is a constant struggle between oppositions; this is a constant “back and forth” and ultimately ends up doing more damage than good. Why is there a high degree of competitiveness within our country?…

    America is commonly called “the land of the free”. Whether you believe this statement to be true or not, there are many founding documents that were created in hopes of making that statement to be undeniably true. However, I believe that Americans have not lived up to the mythic visions of our founding documents. America does not live up to its mythic vision because as “the land of the free” because as a country, we violate the right to life. The Declaration of Independence is an important document written by Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin, and many others.…
