Question 3

America is a place where all binds of different cultures and beliefs combine to form a uniquely American society. Many countries view America as paradisaical, a place where dreams come true and where opportunities are given for those who are in desperate need of it. America is a “land of opportunity,” it is a place that represents many possibilities for people to earn a prosperous living and succeed in their economic or social objectives. In the passage from “Rights of Man,” by Thomas Paine, Paine discusses how America is a place of fairness and how no conflicts are occurring in America which is why riots have not been formed. Paine makes America look like a peaceful country and a place where the majority of people would want to go to. America is a place where the people come first in substantial cases; it is the land for financial assistance for the lower class. Many laws and acts have been passed in the history of America just for the people and the Union. Most of the time, America makes their citizens their number one priority for the prosperity of the country. “It would appear that the Union of such a people was impracticable; but by the simple operation of constructing government on the principles of society and the rights of a man, every difficulty retires and all the parts are brought into cordial unison,” says Paine in his passage in 1791. Most of the amendments in the Constitution are made for the citizens’ sake. For an example, the nineteenth amendment would be women’s rights, the thirteenth amendment would be freedom of African Americans, and the fifteenth amendment would be male suffrage. All the amendments are examples of how the “difficulties” of America has retired by these amendments. America has been known as the “land of freedom” where you will not get penalized for doing what you believe in and it says so in the Constitution. “Made up as it is of people from different nations, accustomed to different forms and habits of government, speaking different languages, and more different in their modes of worship,” says Paine. America is place where you can find every culture in every corner you walk to. It is not based on one belief or one religion like for an example, Egypt. America welcomes all cultures, races, beliefs, and languages or linguistics. College Assistance with financial needs is one of the things America is well-known for. Financial aid has helped many people achieve their goals in life. Not only does America help with students trying to pay for college but America also helps families pay for their bills and pay for their food. “There, the poor are not oppressed; the rich are not privileged…. There taxes are low, because their government is just,” says Paine. The government has been assisting many low income families to give them a chance in life and also assisting college students and many others. All the factors that were previously states have all been great characteristics of America that holds true today. America is the land in which you come to for a great possibility in making your dreams come true. Many people through the world have traveled to America to accomplish and take for advantage the great privileges that America has brought to the fellow citizens.
