An
American to me is a person who believes is everything that America was based
off of and wants the best of it. An American to me is a person who cares and
wants what is best for this country. Some are born here or came from another
country to have a better life. Some of those people who migrate want to be an
American so they to can be or do what they want without having restraints on
them from there old government. They believe in everything that American is
based on and want to live by those beliefs.
When I think
of an American person I usually think of a white man or female living a house
in the middle of America but for some places that is not what it is like. There
are cities like New York and Los Angeles where they are all these different
types of people who are from places all around the world some born in the US
and some that were not but they all still live here and want to be free to do
what they want like saying what they want about anything. These people want to
be an American so they pay money and take a test to be an American. But what
does a test prove? It just shows what you know and studied, why not learn how
they are and what they believe in and not just simple question like what is the
18th president? An American is a person who can study and remember stuff an
American is someone who believes in everything that the founding fathers
thought of because that is what makes us different and what makes American the
place to go and the place to be for freedom. Not trapped under the thumb of the
government.
I think that a
person who claims that they are an American should be able to tell me what the
main problems in America are at that moment like right now with the problems
with Obamacare and also the attacks of the drones in the Middle Eastern
countries. They should know what is happening in the country they say they are
proud of living in. People need to know what is happening in there own country.
It is kind of sad when a person does not know big news that might affect them.
