Before we started this unit I thought that America was
perfect, perfect place to live, grow, and dream to be whatever you wanted to
be. After reading these articles and learning more about how other people view
America has changed my thoughts. I do believe that America is a great place to
live but it is not perfect and never will be until we do change something’s
about how we live. I now think that us Americans are very greedy, selfish, and
arrogant due to the fact that we think that we have it all and we can get
whatever we want if we pay for it. This is actually not true because we have
been in so much dept that it is hurting our economy.
There were two texts that influenced me a lot. One was
“American and Americans”. This text influenced me in a negative way because it
really pint point on all the bad things that do happen here. It also made me
understand that where I live isn’t the perfect place and never will be. The
other text that influenced me was “The America I Love”. This text influenced me
in a positive way. It did because there are a lot of people who don’t have it
as good as we do. It made me realize that I can’t take the little things for
granted because if some people had the same chances that I have would make the
most of it.
An unanswered question that I still have is what are we
doing as a country to try and fix all of these negative things?
