My Vision For America

The Boston Marathon, a movie theatre in Aurora Colorado, an elementary school in Sandy Hook, and a church in Charleston, South Carolina. All of these tragic events that rocked Americans to the core, and also all events that we have bounced back from. As President Obama said after Charleston shooting, ” I’ve had to make statements like this too many times. Communities like this have had to endure tragedies like this too many times.” Maybe not all of us are totally healed from these events, but we are making the necessary steps to get to that point. We are a strong people, we are an unbreakable people, and we are America. Some of those steps that I just eluded to have been taken, such as taking down the confederate

    Slogans are a type of vague sentence or statement that are typically used to convey a opinion or a goal. Due to the vagueness, they are not meant to be meaningless, rather they are typically easy to agree with but can later be found to be objectionable. Take for example Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan, we could replace the word "great" with "guess" and we would have a more accurate statement.…

    When our country calls, there is only a few that answer her willingly and honorably. There are a few people who will courageously go to battle for Mother America.

Boyd who served during the civil war in the fifteenth Iowa infantry, and Robert Tonsetic who served during the vietnam war as an infantry officer under the 199th light infantry brigade. These men served in battle during some of the bloodiest wars America has seen in her lifetime. They faced long days out away from some of the most common utilities for weeks to months on end.…

    The great minds of PBS documentary workers made the film Divided States of America and published it on TV for viewers to watch January 16 and 17 in 2017. This documentary covers a drastic period of time in America, from the rise of Obama to the rise of Trump. It gives very detailed information about Obama’s time in office and what went his way, and what didn’t go his way. The events Obama faces in this documentary are breathtaking, frankly I barely even knew of any the events that he had to face and the mountains he had to climb to remain president of our country for eight strong years. I agree with practically everything Obama had put into effect or resolved, especially being the first African American president of the United States.…

    He should have dreamt of becoming the best handyman or carpenter. It is apparent that Willy found fulfillment in repairing and building things like with the ceiling, where there is hint of enthusiasm and wanted recognition for his work when he asked Charley if he saw the ceiling he put up. Charley responded by saying, “Yeah, that’s a piece of work… How do you do it?”[pg.34] ‘Piece of work’ insinuates the fact that the ceiling is so skillfully and excellently done that it can be considered a piece of work. Another example where Willy expressed pride and where he wanted to prove to his brother Ben what he can do, is when he told his boys to run and get sand so they can “rebuild the entire front stoop right now!”.…

    Religion in Relation to Democracy In Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville, Tocqueville says that religion is needed in democracy for a democracy to function well and not fall into tyranny. Although he says this, he makes the point to say that there are certain things about religion that will need to be changed before it is suitable for democracy. The first of his changes is as follows, “It is therefore particularly in centuries of democracy that it is important not to allow the homage rendered secondary agents to be confused with the worship that is due only the Creator” (Tocqueville, 421). Tocqueville explains that when one confuses the homage due to the Creator with secondary agents it is equivalent to the Roman empire, where they worshipped the emperor as if he was a god. One of the biggest issues with…
