Culture: United States and China There are several cultures across the world but there are all different from one another. Culture is the knowledge, language, values, customs, and material objects that are passed from person to person and from one generation to the next in a human group or society. (According Kendall Diana, 2014, Sociology in Our Times 10th Edition). The two cultures that I chose are American and China cultures. I chose American and Chinese because I want to learn more about…

Immigration is one of the most important issues that the United States is currently facing. The United States was formed by immigrants who moved to this new land to find a better life as well as to give their next generation a safer future. Immigration is thought to be bad because people believe that these immigrants take the money that hard working Americans provide, they take American jobs, and they are the reason why the economy is failing.

others, showed America that a change was coming, and “FDR” would stop at nothing for the sake of the United States’ recovery. Before digging into his renowned inaugural address, here are a few facts about the condition of America during Roosevelt’s time in office: FDR served as president from March 4, 1933-1945—also referred to as some of the worst years of American history.

Mata 1 Michael Mata Kline Period 4 7 April, 2017 The Unfair System of Voting The Electoral College is the system of voting that the United States of America uses to elect its President. The Electoral College is also used to elect the Vice President of the United States of America.

It all started with a letter. Tiny scrawls on a bottom of a page from the United States President Harry Truman was what spurred former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill into action to compose what are now arguably known as the most important speeches in the World War Two era. Churchill had already been a prominent figure during these testing times, but his speeches in 1946 raised his name to a higher atmosphere. These speeches no doubt resonated throughout the entire world, eliciting a…

talking to friends, the decline of America is a common topic. According to Zakaria’s beliefs, America is not declining, although it may appear it is due to the “rise of the rest”. The rise of the rest is the steady increase of other leading countries thought to be the possible downfall of America 's leading power (Zakaria, 2012).

people who founded America created a document that lays out all the ground rules about how to run our government and society: the constitution. Without it, the government would not be as balanced as it is today. People would have more power than others, and that would cause many problems for society.

our system rewards greed and self-interest that is the way we will behave in the world. My theory of why America goes to war can be narrowed down to four words: America’s brand of capitalism. The America focused on power, wealth, and privilege is hooked on war, because without war it can no longer function correctly, or in other words, yield the desired profits. Wars are a horrible waste of lives and resources, but corporate America benefits way too much from wars to stop them completely. Media…

The United States of America is the land of opportunity. Freedom of speech, religion, and numerous other rights that America offers, places her amongst the most appealing nations. These rights attracts other countries to come and invade. Immigration has become a serious concern in the United States. America’s border control lacks responsibility. Consequently, illegal immigrants are invading and claiming territory that is not theirs to claim. Immigration is bad for the American people in general…
