Liberty’s love towards Equality epitomizes that if something makes you so unbelievably happy, you will be able to push through all of the challenges that come your way. Being able to have a love towards someone or something is authentic…
In the section "The Power and the Glory: Myths of American Expectionalism" of the novel, Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Political Issues, Expanded (18th Edition) by George McKenna and Stanley Feingold discussed how the "American exceptionalism" has the capability whether by religious belief or righteousness to bring forth civilization to the world by brutality if necessary. John Winthrop referred to the Massachusetts Bay Colony as the "city upon a hill". Whereas, Ronald Reagan referred to the Massachusetts Bay Colony as a "shining city on a hill". Throughout time, religious belief has been invoked by the presidents of the United States. Every American leader didn't withhold a religious belief, but nevertheless the idea about using powers effectively continued on.…
We truly are the land of the free and the home of the brave. I’ve been lucky enough to grow up in a country that has shown me the best of times and but also the worst of times, yet my love for my country has never wavered. Even through the worst of times, we as a country have overcome which inspires me on so many levels. The United States of America was founded nearly 300 years ago, which in itself is pretty spectacular.…
What America’s Greatest Generation's gift is Freedom, Rights, and freedom of speech. Everyone has the same rights in the present, but back then blacks couldn’t leave there house without getting getting judged. The Constitution the preamble it say “We the People”, meaning that we are working as a team in the USA. Without these rights we would not be the same, we wouldn’t have any rights at all.…
Patriot’s Pen America has given its citizens, lots of gifts. From the time we are born to every single moment of our lives, we have America to thank. Lots of us wouldn’t even be here today if it weren't for America, and we do not show our gratitude to America often. Too much Americans take their freedom for granted. One of our gifts from America is the freedom to vote.…
Many people don’t fully understand freedom, and it would be a proposterous lie to say I do. But, what I do know is that people take the smallest things for granted. For example, many students see this paper is just another burden given by teachers, but many children dream of a freedom like this. I am honored to be able to write this paper, for this is a tribute to America’s veterans,…
713 “America’s Gift to My Generation” When you think of a gift, you might think of a Christmas present, wrapped up with a bow. To me, however, a gift is something along the lines of freedom, rights, and honor. If we didn’t have those, we’d be lost.…
The United States of America, known as the land of the free, has many civil rights that our founding fathers and other influential figures have fought for. However, the freedoms that citizens value today is another story. In the past, Americans fought for the freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right to vote, just to name a few. People in the present-day take their existing rights for granted and, therefore, have different trivial desires instead. The word “freedom” no longer represents equality of all citizens, but merely another cheesy historic slogan.…
Americans gift to my generation is the first amendment. The first amendment is what made America what it is. The first amendment is freedom of religion,speech,press and assembly. Another thing is the second amendment. The second amendment is the right to bear arms.…
America has several differnet values, but also has a bad habit of stepping on it's own toe. America stresses the fact that if you put hard work and determination towards reaching your goal, you are most likely to complete such. During your journey to success you do learn that you have dress a certain way, speak a certain way and act a certain way. On the way to my interview with my current job, I automatically knew that I couldn't speak, dress nor act as if I was in the presence of my friends. I had to wear one of my nicest dress suits, I had to get rid of the "slang" and speak proper english.…
Tycianna Caldwell Reynolds ENGL 1010-01N 8 Oct. 2015 Taken for Granted: America We as individuals are very quick to look only at the bad sides of situations. We are sometimes only able to see the things that we do not have and overlook the things that we do. We take for granted things like freedom, equality, and being able to gain an education. Many forget that these things are not guaranteed to others that live in different places. I realized how fortunate I am to live in America when I met someone from another country.…
Freedom is never given, it must be demanded. This statement is debated all around the world. It focuses on not only political freedom, but social and personal as well. Many important American figures have spoken about the topic, such as President Obama and Martin Luther King, Jr. If freedom was given, segregation never would have taken place and men in the military wouldn't be fighting for their rights.…

A gift is one person to another, we have been granted and receiving gift since the beginning of time. America is the enjoyable gift anyone could receive. We have doctors, hospitals, policemen, fireman, jobs, education, clean air, food, and water, we have freedom and voting, shelter and cities of the immeasurable opportunities that we can go and do whatever we put our minds too. We don’t get distressed about being withdrawn out of our beds at night, we don’t have uncertainty about not knowing the outer world and being protected by it or acquiring a good well-respected education, we have some of the best education and jobs in the world. America was not only given a gift but a very hard and complicated gift to grant.…
To describe my participation with Ken for the Capoeira, I had no optimism, but I have learnt several Capoeira moves and its history. Firstly, the main reason that made this class not enjoyable was that I had to present what I’ve learnt. I had no confidence and always had a negative mind. However, I mostly enjoyed learning its history and learn some basic Capoeira moves. When I hear the word “Capoeira”, the first thing that came up to my head was, “Dancing”.…
