time in history, the law establishes access to affordable health care as a national responsibility, with the great bulk of the dollars coming from taxpayers to fund the coverage expansion.” Since the 2012 elections, Obama has pushed for universal health care nationwide. President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly called “Obamacare,” in March of 2010, and was designed to take effect January 1st, 2014.

A topic that I find interesting would be the US Constitution, more specifically the checks and balances system. It was formed to maintain a form of equality amongst the three branches of government. Although this is a topic that has been lectured throughout my American education, it continues to be relevant being that it is implemented into our government infrastructure.

The American Deception America, the land of opportunity, where dreamers live and freedom appears to burst from the seams. The United States has welcomed millions of immigrants over the centuries. These immigrants, and citizens alike, have one goal, to achieve the American Dream.

When this formal assignment was handed out I was truly worried. I had no idea what to write about. Thinking on the surface I thought that there was no precise purpose for writing, at least for me individually. To be blunt, writing is far from my favorite activity.

At a glance, I believed that if my writing skills were above…
The American Dream Can Be Accomplished by Anyone Do you ever think to yourself on a particular day when you 're bored, on why are some people more successful than others when they don 't deserve it? Two words differentiate those people and those are ambition and laziness. The American Dream is about having a good stable career,job,income to support a potential family or just live life. It’s not about being a A-list actor or celebrity but to do what some of our parents couldn’t; that 's to…

If America does not learn to change their responses depending on the situation, Obama believes that the country will be pushed into a trap. As we are already caught in a few traps of our own making in the Middle East, the last thing the country needs is to be manipulated by outside forces into one due to…
