Our Nation’s Future What does our future look like? Our nation’s future is in our generation’s hands, and the fate of our nation will be determined by how we handle it. I believe my generation is able to be the generation to keep this nation at a good nation. I am very optimistic for what our nation’s future holds for us because I believe we will better our country. The word future might scare others, but when I see the word future, I see many things for our nation: I see peace, I see an ideal country with a working government, and I see a positive future. My views for the future are very open and positive. Unlike the controlling government Thomas Jefferson encountered, our current government is already so much better, and I believe that we can continue to improve it further (39). However, our nation’s future is as delicate as a china plate set. Benjamin Franklin once said, “Glass, China, and Reputation, are easily crack’d, and

I think of all the benefits my country’s future will provide for me. The only thought across my mind I how great of a country I will have in the future. I believe my nation will thrive in the future due to my generation.
Our nation’s future depends on all the people of our generation. Each one of us can impact it in so many different ways. When I think of my nation’s future, I do have positive expectations for the future of our country because I know Americans have always aspired to have the best nation possible. When our generation is in charge of the country, I know we will make all of the past generations very proud because our nation will always continue to

    America’s future vison is continually changing. It appears that regardless of the ideas one sets for America it is never followed through. George Washington, one of America’s first great leaders and presidents, warned the young nation not to allow factions, such as political parties and foreign affairs to take part in United States. My vison for America is that we once again regain a clean slate by paying off foreign debts, allow more advanced teachings in schools, and reducing waste and pollutants. The foreign debt America has gained, in today’s day and age, is the highest it has ever been.…

    My fellow citizens: With every inauguration in this country we fortify the seedling of our country: the decrepit two centuries old constitution. All standing before me, we are American even though some weren't born upon American soil, but rather united on the belief that we choose to hold in an archive written centuries ago by the brilliant authors that came before us. Although these words may be documented on paper, they alone are worthless. It is our job in government to execute these duties- by the people, for the people. Since 1789 every American President who has given this address has had a common goal of economic prosperity; in conclusion, the time has come where we continue the pursuit of economic prosperity.…

    Many look to the past to guide their future, and one way to accomplish this task is by examining important historical figures. One personal favorite of mine is Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd president that helped lead America out of the Great Depression and help stop Nazi Germany. One current issue we face in our age is how polarized the two political parties are today; while his party affiliation was Democrat, he assembled an alliance comprising of different parties. Today, politicians would rather work with their own and fill congress with more from the parties, but I believe that problems on the scale such as ISIS and economic downturns need being able to respect your opponents, reach across the aisle, and produce solutions that benefit…

    This young but great nation has seen its share of ups and downs already. Between our moments of heroism and the struggles we have endured, I believe our country has advanced beyond belief. I am immensely proud of all that we have accomplished, but I cannot say that this would be my personal vision for America. Maybe I was born in the wrong time, or maybe I was just raised in an old fashioned state of mind, but my ideal vision for America would be more of a flashback. Our country was founded on the fact that “...that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”…

    My Vision for America Many of us celebrate the 4th of July, many of us celebrate veterans day; during these days we are grateful for those who have served and those who have taken the ultimate sacrifice so their kids, grandkids, and great grandkids, could grow up in a free life wear they can worry about homework and not about the things soldiers worry about when in battle. It's clear that veterans and soldiers love the country they are fighting for, but will they love this country the same way in 20 years? Many people have different visions for this country some want change, others want none. My vision for this country is it stay a democratic free nation, not socialist or communist, have this country be the number one trading nation improving our economy, and finally make the country's wealth fall into the top 20 percent not 1 percent. These things will happen due to the dedication of many politicians and people like myself who have these visions.…

    “If the talent of ridicule were employed to laugh men out of vice and folly, it might be of some use to the world; but instead of this, we find that it is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything that is solemn and serious, decent and praise worthy in human life.” – Joseph Addison People today simply don’t understand. Those that do simply do not care. Those that both care and understand are not understood or cared for, which is one of the problems Joseph Addison brings across.…

" America holds better career opportunities and a better education for those dreaming of a bright future that they might not be able to achieve in their home land.…
