Many people ask about what defines America. America has provided millions of citizens a life to build without limitations. It gives families a variety of broad opportunities to sustain and maintain a fundamentally well established future for themselves and their children. Though many people believe America is the land of the free, there is always a price: struggle, sacrifice, and hope to continue to build a better and new beginning for everyone. This is what it means to be an American. America…

Independence Day, or the 4th of July, is a U.S. national holiday celebrating the anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Many Americans celebrate Independence Day by shooting off fireworks, going to a parade, and enjoying the hot summer weather. My family drives down to Rockwood, Illinois for Independence Day and to visit my cousins Eddie, Katie, Emma, and Hannah. My favorite memory with my cousins was when we had a giant Independence Day Capture the Flag…

No political force in the nineteenth century was stronger than nationalism. It replaced dynastic loyalty with loyalty based on ethnic considerations. During the 1800s, Italy was comprised of many small nation-states. However, as time went on unification became a more and more prominent idea that was spread by advocates such as Giuseppe Mazzini in order to raise nationalism. It is important to note that countries have to be dreamt up before they can be real. Someone has to believe in that nation,…

The term revolution in The American Heritage Science Dictionary is defined as “an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed”. By this definition, the American Revolution was simply not revolutionary. This “revolution” did not effectively transform America as it did not completely abolished the British influence from the colonies, it did not abolish slavery, and it merely reinforced the preexisting political and…

the two main themes in the debate over “hispanization”? Your response introduces the opinions by J. O’Sullivan and F. Fukuyama. How did they support their argument? (18 points) I believe that the two main ideas can only be summarized as being either for or against the idea of the book Who Are We? By Huntington. O’Sullivan focuses on the book by focusing more on the national identity vs. Fukuyama who focused more on the liberal democracy With that being said there are troubles that could arise…

What America means to me. From the time 1 was born up to the present, my life has been sustained through the sotl of America. The bread that 1 eat every day has been made from wheat grown in American soil. The house 1 live in has been butlt from lumber grown in American forests. The water with which 1 quench my thirst comes from the wells, lakes and rivers of America. The clothes I am wearing were made either from wool of the sheep or cotton grown in Southern states of our great country.…

The United States of America has always been perceived as a country full of very passionate people to put it simply. Though it is left to the individual to interpret what they believe these people are passionate about, there’s a plethora of assessments that could fit the American spirit of today. Over time there have been artists who have used a variety of mediums to express their own views of the American spirit. One of those artists is S.E Hinton. In 2018 it seems that most Americans are…

A German poet by the name of Johann Wolfgang once said “Go to foreign countries and you will get to know the good things one possesses at home” by reading the Ugly American it seems like all the characters can relate. Americans were genuinely trying to better Sarkhan but the communist weren’t really accepting to foreigners who were trying to come in their native homes and change how things were being done. The Americans were said to be completely different when they joined a different countries…

What Patriotism Means To Me: Patriotism is standing up for your country, government, leaders, and your family. The truest definition of patriotism is seeing people giving up their time, energy, homes, and loved ones to fight for our country. For example, my Pappy served from the year 1968 until 1970 on the U.S.S. Ranger CVA-61. Whenever another ship came alongside theirs, they had someone riding on a full-size fiberglass horse, while they played the William Tell Overture, and that person was…

Nationalism is defined as a strong sense of pride in one’s country. This concept has been around since the beginning of advanced civilization. From the Roman Empire to Nazi Germany, nationalism has been used and interpreted differently. Nationalism is neither inherently good or evil, but it can be used in both ways.
