Satire Essay On America

Improved Essays
Citizens, countrymen, folk of the land, the United States of America has created the strongest people the world has ever seen, second to none in all aspects of daily living. America has become the shiny beacon of light across the infinite black sea of ignorance. As a fellow countrymen I hear nay-Sayers speak of my own in only the highest of jests, in which we are cowards, they insult, without knowledge of remembering first the world policing policies America stands by! And to this I say, let’s make them right. It’s only fair, for America has been the super power in which all other nations stand up against and conform to, all others must bend to our whim and do as is told. We have grown strong and tired, and it is time to retire. The best interest is to follow the local news stations in which people are told of the unfathomable horrors that lurk outside of our homes in the world’s greatest country, that which again we don’t fear not because of arrogance, but because that is just what Americans do, even if it does cost American lives and the hands of the insipid and ignorant few. …show more content…
Americans are the pinnacle of the world in power, consumption, and self-righteous fury, always the perpetual good guys policing the world and putting an end to terror, liberating those who are too weak to stand up for themselves. Fragility is not in America’s national anthem, neither is terror, although today fear is used now more than ever before, epically on some news networks more than others but we need it. From a very well established history professor friend of mine in England even goes to say that without the U.S. government pumping its citizens full of fear that the country became a super power in world politics, in which we

    Satire In Brave New World

    • 982 Words

    Samuel L. Jackson once said, “We’ve come a long way in our thinking, but also in our moral decay.” This quote holds true today as society stays rapidly changing and people become more and more desensitized to the horrors of the world. The line between right and wrong fades and turns to a larger gray area, and many things that happen in society today make us question how we, as a collective people, ended up where we are and how we acquired the customs we have today. Aldous Huxley, in his novel Brave New World, uses a great deal of satire and exaggeration to express his concerns for the society he was born into and bring attention to the problems of moral decay, drug dependency, and brainwashing, among other things, in the world.…

America has many pluralistic opinions, that make up it's sometimes discordant aftermaths, and later its secret to uniting its states. In, “A Quilt of a Country” Anna Quindlen used events from the cold war to relate to what America went through mentally on September 11, 2001. To begin with, Quindlen compared the emotions most Americans contained in both tragedies: hate, confusion, sadness, and fear.…

    The Ugly American Essay

    The Ugly American depicts the difficulties the United States experienced in trying to defeat communism in Southeast Asia. It highlighted methods that the U.S. should have adopted to be successful and the ones that led to failure. The book demonstrated how the political and social climates were affected by individuals’ lack of consideration and awareness of the Sarkhanese culture. The characters in this book are fictional, however some share similar qualities of American diplomats serving abroad today. In this essay, I will identify characters that either succeeded or failed to create a positive and productive atmosphere that supported the U.S. interests.…

    Sometime, I believe the existence of life is just a tragedy. It is not what happening to my life or to those around me that effecting me deeply – it is the external forces that I have no control over or the inability for me to make a different to the situation. Every day, I see bad things happen in the world, especially the thing that happen to the innocent children and the unborn babies. Granted, not all babies are cute or healthy when they were born, but nonetheless, they are innocents. Why do they have suffered at the hand of the adults: the one that created them, the one that meant to take care of them, the one that support to sacrifice for them?…

    Illegal immigration has been a trendy topic for as long as we can all remember, when will it come to an end? Many believe that illegal “aliens” should be sent back to their original country; while others believe they should be able to stay and be given citizenship or at least some rights. Negative comments are heard all the time about illegal immigrants such as that they steal jobs, come and use public services, use welfare, and are criminals. Illegal immigrants are not welcome in the United States and are frowned upon by a majority of citizens for not being able to contribute to the country in bigger ways, but how can this be possible if they lack the resources needed to be successful? Illegal immigrants should be granted a work permit along…

    September 11th, 2001 will forever be the date known for the moment America stopped, and for the annual reminder of the real-world fears America faces as a country. Since then, several tactics have been used by old and new government officials to create a country with a safety net that the world will ency. However, it can be argued that American’s and their officials have possibly become too scared. This argument has been widely debated since the September 11th terrorist attacks, but has not started to begin the division of the country until the recent election of republican president, Donald Trump, where the debate has moved into action. In the recent article from the Washington Post, “President Trump-directed his homeland security secretary…

    “America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand” said Harry S Truman, the 33rd President of the United States. I believe that one quote sums up what it means to be American, Americans have no reason to be afraid, but they do have a reason to be courageous. Being an American is a privilege, and should not be taken for granted. With this in mind, my school and community are very supportive of the idea of "Americanism".…

    Dystopia Aldous Huxley uses many political and social issues such as drugs, sex, and brainwashing to create the theme of the novel. He also uses diction and details to emphasize the theme. The World State’s use of conditioning centers forces the whole of the society to find the value in spontaneous sex and drug usage. He uses satire to reveal that he does not want bokanovskfiy indefinitely because it would take away all individuality.…

    America the Great “America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.” These were the words of Harry Truman, the 33rd President of the United States. Because of our foundation of determination throughout history, America has, since its inception, been on a pedestal for the world to admire. America has been at the cutting edge in many facets of society, including technology, warfare, and social change.…

    America is known as one of the strongest powers in the world, because of this, we are the guideline that many countries follow. The way our government as well as our citizens react to events says a lot about our values and the way we want to be perceived to the world. Obama concentrated much of his state of the union speech on the issue of unnecessary fear and overreaction of the American people. I agree with the President in the sense that we as American’s should be more confident in our country and what we stand for. When citizens seize control of situations instead of letting our military handle things, the world notices, and both America and our morals get degraded.…

    Throughout time America has changed as a whole, however, the main principles each American shares has stayed the same. The ideologies each American shares can be categorized into four main groups; Social, Political, Economic, and Cultural. Socially, Americans are rebellious and get what they want, this is demonstrated when they break apart from Britain even though they are out-powered. Politically, Americans believe in democracy and a government that protects freedom and the rights to all. Economically, Americans believe in a free market where the government has no strong power over the economy.…

    Island lives (An analysis of the phrase, “No man is an island” from Meditation 17 by John Donne.) Strength as a whole nation is something that Americans have that they are able to be proud of. This is something that was stronger many years ago too though. As society has grown, and technology has become more advanced, society has started to grow apart in their relationships with one another. In Meditation 17 by John Donne, it is said that “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of a continent, a part of the main.”…

    In the first comic, it depicts a family whom has recently went on a trip around the world, each commenting on the items they bought during their travels, which are all buyable in North America and how they’re so proud of buying ‘foreign’ objects overseas, despite the fact that I noted early about the products all being commonplace in North America. The title which says ‘The Problems of Globalization’ also helps illustrate this. This satirical piece reveals how, due to North America’s influence over media, products, and the amount of stores that are overseas originating from North America, how a majority of merchandise that may seem ‘special’ due to being bought overseas are far from that. The comic also spreads light on just how many companies…
