How does my generation today define what it means to be an american? I believe our generation is defined in many different situations, meaning we all have a viewpoint which don’t always match up with others. Nowadays, the country of America is easier to define than it was fifty years ago, where people had ignorance and strong headed opinions on anyone who was different than themselves. Where today, we still have that issue, yet it isn’t as bad as it used to be. Today, I believe our generation as defining an american is all about being yourself, using your freedom, and loving it.…
Creating A Constitution The major theme of this video is that it is never impossible to build a powerful nation if we have a strong person with leadership goals of looking out for the country and its people. Each of us today praises only one person “Thomas Jefferson” for the Declaration of Independence. But, our history shows that there are efforts of many people who faced many conflicts and compromises such as slavery starting from the Articles of Confederation, setting a Constitution till Declaration of Independence. George Washington, the United States first president fought to change the first Constitution, the Articles of Confederation in which each state has operated as an independent country with no president or judicial branch into…
America is founded by men and women who were sick of being ruled by someone over who was over a thousand miles away. We wanted a chance to forge our own path, and make our own name in the world. We fought for our freedom, we fought for each other, we fought for a country that was only just being born into the world. Our country was created to stand up for what we believe in, and became the foundation of what now was the United States of America. Without this foundation, our nation would have come crashing down, leaving us back at square one again.…

This generation sees being an American a lot differently than our parents or maybe even grandparents do. This generation has a view of you have to look a certain way have certain things and do certain things than the earlier generations. In this generation more of a fight or flight instinct comes in. The earlier ones there was not as much crime. In our parents generations the crime picked up but nothing like what has happened now.…
Americans who range between the age of 50 to 69 are considered from the baby boomer 's generation. " Born between the year of 1946 and 1964, 'baby boomers ' represent the largest 20- year age cohort in US history and still account for over 30 percent of the adult population (Deli, 2014). Now this generation has developed into middle age adults that are generally busy with their work schedules and children. As they age, it is critical for them to live a healthy life and take care of their bodies. During their busy everyday schedule, it can be hard for them to keep a healthy routine, go shopping, and still be able to take care of themselves.…
It has never been more important than today to reflect on the creation of our country; it’s imperative to examine the founding ideals and principles that our nation was built upon. While some feel that we have strayed from these ethics others rest assured that we are doing right by both our country and its founders. There are no stronger or more direct connections that we have to our founders than the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Yet, they are not specific (or not as specific as we would like for them to be at times). This was purposeful; this gives the world and the country the freedom and ability to move, to change, to progress, while always having the basic principles of the United States close by.…

There is a ton of research on the millenial generation of about 75.3 million Americans. Millenials are approaching the workplace differently than any other generation, thus giving us a different outlook on the American Dream. The American Dream has been part of our culture since the 1930s, with hopes of home ownership, a good job, and retirement security.…

The biggest gift from America to my generation is probably technology. Our generation doesn’t even do much. Hardly any of us have a job, we get phones but we don’t deserve them. I like my phone and I am thankful for having one by really I don’t deserve one.…
Terances mother asked him how his day was at school. “Fine” he responds in a monotone voice. “OK” she says in a sarcastically-happy-voice, “That is a good way to end the school day”. They finally pull into their driveway, with the sound of gravel crunching reminding him of the gunfire of his video-game he was eager to get back to. He is at level 19 and has been staying up until the break of dawn to get where he is now.…

Simply put, we’re the generation that talks. We may not stop talking, texting, emailing, chatting, and liking photos, but we talk. We talk about problems. When we see a problem, we go for it. We may be an ego-centric generation, but aren’t we supposed to be?…
