United States
Are You proud of your country? I am very proud of my country. I am very lucky to be living in these United States. We have many rights and freedoms. We are all equal here. We are all lucky to have all the privileges and rights that we do have. We have freedom of speech. This means we can say and act however we feel whenever we want. In some countries, you are not allowed to. We also have freedom of the press. Our printing press can inform us in all the news that's going on around the world. Some countries don't know anything that's going on. Thankfully, we do. We have the freedom to carry weapons, which is great because I am a hunter myself. Some countries would have you arrested for having any sort of weapon. We also have many choices. Some countries don't have any choices. We can chose what we want to eat and what to wear. We can chose who we marry, too. In some places you are assigned to marry someone at a very young age. We are all equal, which makes this country great. A long time ago black people were discriminated against and white people were superior. Now we are all equal and have the same rights and laws. We also are all educationally equal. We all finish twelve years of education. Some countries don't allow you to go to school if you don't have the money. Luckily we all have the right to education. In fact it is the law that we go to school. Our freedoms and rights are just some of the great qualities our country has. We have a lot of rights such as, having a full trial before you are proven guilty. Stating that you cannot be put into jail before you are proven guilty with a full court trial. I am very lucky, as well as all of the citizens of the United states, to have all of these very important rights. We are also very fortunate to be living in this country. I am proud to live in the United States.

    “In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the finger, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.” (Washington, p. 107) This expresses how no matter what race, country or gender you are from, you are still needed in society to improve the country as a whole. Throughout the beginning of American history, Americans have fought for freedom and equality from their mother country. Even in the recent years, people fought for gay marriage equality, giving homosexuals the right to marry the person they love and have the same benefits as other marriages have. In fact, some people may be concerned about what equality really means; Equality means that you are given equal status, rights and opportunities regardless of the race, ethnicity, or anything that might discriminates you. Equality opens up many doors for individuals giving them an option to become better in society. But in equality, there will always be problems either racially or socially.…

    America’s gift to my generation is freedom because we have our very own rights,we have the benefit of a free education, and we have opportunities that most other countries don’t have. Rights are a necessity to our freedom because without them we aren’t considered free. If it weren’t for different types of rights such as, human rights, women rights, due process, speech, we wouldn’t have liberty. Human rights are one of the most important type of rights because they inherent to all human beings no matter your race, age, gender, etcetera. It actually states that everyone has the right to life, freedom, and safety.…

    A Vision Achieved Jefferson envisioned a government that allowed its citizens to exercise inalienable rights. In exact words, he states, " We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." To be more evident, how can we define these "inalienable rights" of "life", "liberty", and the "pursuit of happiness?" Have these inalienable rights, achieved Jefferson's goal? I am convinced, Jefferson's revolutionary vision of life, liberty, and happiness has at last been achieved in America.…

    Constitution, the Bill of Rights grants freedoms to all Americans. These rights, often taken for granted, are fundamental to America being the “Land of Opportunity”. “The first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing individual rights, such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, separation of church and state, the right to counsel, the right against self-incrimination, and due process.” These rights set America apart from any other country in the world because it grants citizens the freedom to practice or establish a religion, openly speak their mind without fear of punishment, publish text and engage with media, assemble peacefully, acquire and keep firearms, protection from unlawful search and seizure, and proper representation in the judicial system, among other rights. In most countries their governments are monarchies, authoritarian, and even dictatorships where there are no agreed freedoms and citizens do not have rights that protect them, only laws established by the government to oppress and manipulate its people.…

One of the most well known lines of the Declaration of Independence claims we have the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. The first point is the simplest.

    In my opinion America is the greatest country on earth. One of the best things about America is our freedom. Our freedom is something to truly be proud of! In many other countries you have to filter what you say, but not in great ole America you are legally able to say whatever you want. In some Asian countries young children and lower class adults have to work in factories for very low pay, just because there is no other options. In America this is not the case, here we could work where ever we desire, with the right education of course. Religion, religion is a big one. In many counties what, or whom you worship is controlled by the government.…

    You ask me "What freedom means to me? " I don't really think about these things. Now that I am I think that I have something to say about it. Freedom is something that shouldn't be taken for granted. Freedom for me is something we abuse. For example freedom of speech we use that like its nothing people in other places don't have that freedom. Most people don't think about freedom as we do stuff during are day. We don't usually think "How did we get our freedom? " well that's a good question. People fought for are freedom we don't think about that, people risked their lives for us. There are still people who risk their lives for freedom people who can't do what we do, people who don't have equality. They cant say what they want or do what they want. I couldn't imagine myself without freedom not being able to say what I want or do.…

    I was born and raised here in the United States. Therefore, I have been part of a generation that has experienced both the good and the bad. When I was younger, I always thought America was the greatest country in the world. I was so proud to be born and raised in the United States. I remember learning about 9/11 every year, watching Barack Obama become our first African-American President, and learning about the many tragedies our nation has faced along these past few years. Being an American and witnessing so many events unfold these past few years has made me feel both happy and upset with how our nation has evolved. The United States is filled with so much pop culture and technology and…

    I wonder if I could walk up to a person and ask, “Are you Proud of Your Country?” and see what they would say. What some people don’t realize is that they are really lucky to live in a country as great as ours. The United States is a free country that is protected by laws and amendments. The laws are to ensure our safety as people, and the amendments are to ensure that we are treated as we should be, and to provide something that hasn’t been declared in the Constitution already.…
