My Hope For America's Future
The United States of America: when I hear that phrase, a feeling of pride and patriotism rises inside. After the feeling of patriotism, I remember the history of the country and all of the problems and sacrifices many Americans have made. American history is an important part of the United States today and will continue to affect our future. Many Americans have lost sight of the past and the people around them who share the same sense of patriotism. My hope for America’s future would be for Americans to accept and respect American history, to come together through differences, and to work together to better the nation.
My first hope for the future of The United States involves Americans accepting and respecting our history. A few times in American

    Nationalism, many can argue, was a guiding light that helped the populous in Europe unite. As early as the late great Roman Empire, it was that notion of being a part of a uniform body of civil, governed people who helped these places flourish. In early 19th century America, during the "Era of Good Feelings" as one newspaper put it, Americans began to root themselves in all that the nation stood for which helped them in turn begin to think about moving the United States into a respectable position among the world's super powers. For example, Stephen Decatur toasts the country and acknowledges that it is our country, for better or for worse. This is a sharp contrast to the views of our founding fathers because George Washington himself, the "father of our nation", saluted king George although he was a part of the attempt to establish a separate nation. Poets and writers also began to capture the nation's spirit.…

    Beyond all else, our country is a set of convictions: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our whole history can be seen first as an effort to preserve these rights and then as an effort to make them real in the lives of all our citizens. We know that from the beginning…

    The American people having derived their origin from many other nations, and the Declaration of National Independence being entirely based on the great principle of human equality, these facts demonstrates at once our disconnected position as regards any other nation; that we have, in reality, but little connection with the past history of any of them, and still less with all antiquity, its glories, or its crimes. On the contrary or national birth was the beginning of a new history, the formation and progress of an untried political system, which separates us from the past and connects us with the future only; And so far as Regard the entire development of the natural rights of man, in moral, political, and national life, we may confidently assume that our country is destined to be the great nation of futurity.…

    Patriotism in America lacks the bold following of supportive Americans it used to possess. During World War II, Americans were willing to ration and work and fight harder for the whole of their country. JFK’s profound quote of “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” summarizes the basis of what patriotism should materialize as. John F. Kennedy speaks forth about steel companies raising prices in a time of turmoil and persuades Americans to ensure the tranquility of our great nation.…

    In America’s history there has been an extreme presentation of nationalism, especially in the Pearl Harbor and 9/11 attacks. December 7, 1941, a date that resonates in the hearts of all Americans, was the day the Japanese Navy landed a surprise attack on the U.S naval base at Pearl Harbor. The USS West Virginia was one of the ships that sunk in during the assail, also claiming over 2000 innocent lives. Pearl Harbor was known as the worse attack on American ground by foreign assailants until 9/11. Not very long after the Twin Towers fell on September 11, 2001, the nation descended into a period of lament. We felt intense sorrow, but the anguish that we held was partly filled by a nationalistic dedication.…

    America. The greatest country in the world, or so we thought. The current state of the country isn’t the best, as it has it’s pros and cons, yet it isn’t horrible. We have many things going for us, such as our strong military, our booming economy, and our relatively low unemployment rate. But we also have a negative side, which includes our national debt, high costing health insurance, and the large taxes we have to pay. Overall, there is some bad with the good, and vice versa.…

    Optimism: hopefulness and confidence about the future. The warm-hearted feeling you receive when you take a step back and glance for a moment at the resilient, robust nation built around you. The nation where everyone is free to express their uniqueness in gender, race, religion, and sexual orientation. The nation with stout defense and solid guard throughout all branches of military. It’s not a surprise we have the world’s largest economy, and the dollar is the world’s reserve currency. We are the only Super Power on planet Earth, and that is something to be proud of. Something that should give you optimism when you think of our homeland’s future. As home to more than 316 million Americans, we have the potential to do great things. Things superior to Earth itself. America is a beacon of hope, hope for immigrants looking to start over and start living their lives anew, hope for technology advances in ways that are mind-blowing and seem unfeasible. Hope for energy, and living clean and green. And hope for the education of our future generations- those who will be running this powerhouse into the indefinite future and continuing our uphill battle to excellence. With so much in store for the United States of America, I am so optimistic about our nation’s future.…

    Do you know when our national anthem first came to be the official anthem of the United States of America? The anthem was written by Francis Scott Key and became the official American anthem on March 3, 1931. America's gift to my generation is freedom of expression. Freedom of expression means we have the right to express our opinions in many ways. Currently, the professional football players of our nation seem to be using their freedom of expression to, in my opinion, disgrace our country's anthem.…

    The final aspect of a patriot is pride for their country. This pride is taught in history classrooms all around the United States, in homes of this country’s people, and is held in the hearts of those who truly love “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” Proud patriots range from the sweet, Vietnam veteran who wears his service cap proudly to the little girl who waves her flag on Independence Day. If one is truly proud of their country, it will be evident to those around…

    The creation of our nation occurred only a few hundred years ago. The origins of the American Story will include many groups that inhabited the American continents for hundreds of years, as well as rival European nations fighting for supremacy that ultimately culminated in the rebellion of the thirteen colonies against the British Empire in 1776. While the study of our history includes dates and facts about Presidents and wars; our story is the story of legends, curses and folk tales that have originated here in the Americas during the past three centuries and have stood the test of time. Names like Washington, Franklin, Lincoln, and Roosevelt are synonymous with American History, but it is also the “common man’s” journey that makes our history captivating, tragic and beautiful.…

    When one sees the flag waving in the wind, hears the Star Spangled Banner, or speaks their pledge of allegiance, they feel a sense of pride for their country.

On September 11, 2001 our beloved nation was attacked by an inconceivable evil. America’s oneness of sharing in each other's happiness and sorrow was highlighted because of this strike against us.…

    My vision for America is that I could see peace for this wonderful country, and great minds, and the future for mankind. If mankind keeps going it’s course like war or any other conflicts that is still going on to this. Day we would fall and loose everything that we hold so dear. We would lose our families and misunderstand how this path we still take will affect us. So basically what I am trying to say is that mankind needs to change its path and make a new one. We need to start over again so we can stop this childish conflict and get along with each other. We need to forgive not forget the ones we miss or look over.…
