Patriotism can be defined as the loyalty to one’s country and the love they have for it, but when your patriotism takes over, it can lead to violence and death as seen in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. Realistically, patriotism does lead to death and violence because patriotism leads people to believe that people must be hurt or die for their country. For example, in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Brutus explains, “It must be by his death, and for my part, I know no personal…

“Identity politics” has enabled groups who have been marginalized by society to ban together over certain shared experiences. By working collectively, these segments of the population are able to raise awareness and are instrumental in securing certain freedoms, already enjoyed by the rest of the population. While some may label these freedoms as “special rights,” in realty, that are simply the rights guaranteed by law. While there are numerous benefits to “identity politics” there are also…

America's albums--six certified gold and/or platinum, with their first greatest hits collection, History, hitting four plus million in sales--displayed a fuller range of the trio's talents than did their singles. Their material encompassed an ambitious artistic swath; from effects-laden rockers to oddball medleys to soul-bearing ballads, America displayed a flawless blend of disparate genres and styles as wide-open as the great American plains. Enjoying massive success early in their career,…

The Revolution of America was thought of as a radical, but also social change as the Americans were seeking their own revolution and sense of acceptance in this New World. The Revolutionary War in the 1770’s brought new light to the American colonies and defined a purpose for what America would become in the coming years, as a country. This revolution, unlike any other was thought of as an intellectual, as well as traditional revelation that brought together an abundance of people, who were…

America: An Independent Nation America is commonly referred to as “The land of the free and home of the brave!” It has been an independent nation for 238 years and a leading world power since World War II (Esler and Ellis 195- 201). It is easy for our country to be taken for granted, as many Americans have a limited understanding of the history of our nation. In order to appreciate America’s freedom and success today, it is crucial to first understand why people immigrated to this land, the…

“American Exceptionalism” is thought to be the core belief in this country. “Ronald Reagan’s said, that serves as the democratic beacon and a model for other countries.”(Garcia, Lecture 1) To a certain point this is correct. The United States of America is an example for countries around the world, especially third world countries. But how can “American Exceptionalism” be true if the ideas and philosophies in the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and the federalist papers were…

The American flag is a very special symbol to me. Soldiers have put their life on the line to earn the right to have our flag. The flag is so special to us that every morning we say a pledge to it. Recently people have not been very respectful to the flag. They have been setting it on fire and walking on it which is very disrespectful. The American flag has fifty stars and thirteen red and white stripes. The thirteen stripes stand for the thirteen colonies that we originally settled in. the…

An American is anyone who loves life enough to want the best it has to offer. Americans are not easily satisfied with their current situation and strive for a better life. Americans also look forward to more than the next meal. As Lee Greenwood would say "there's pride in every American heart;" without the pride of an American there wouldn’t patriotism, loyalty, and or effort. With being said there also wouldn't be America without those factors; therefor there wouldn't be any Americans.…
