The USPS
Sample 1 A
In a fast-pace society of sleek innovations and modern new technologies, it can be easy to get lost in the hype of popular new gadgets and trends while if not forgetting, moving away from the traditions and enterprises that were so vital to the United States as a developing country. One of these pioneering enterprises, the Unites States Postal Service (USPS), has become a casualty of the innovation we land so highly. While we should not discount the progress made in the past decades that has facilitated a transition to faster and sleeker technologies, it is also paramount that we support and maintain traditions and symbols of the American dream like the USPS by applying modern principles and revamping the company’s image and organization.
The United States Postal Service not only serves to deliver mail, get money orders and set up P.O. boxes, but also to remain a symbol of our countries development and progress (Document D). It serves to remind the US population of where our country has been and can give citizens a feeling of pride that can be matched by few other countries. With this remainder of where we have been comes a respect for the traditions of our ancestors. Cullen argues, “Email is fast and simple, but to me an old-fashioned, handwritten letter has value in this speed-obsessed world” (Document F). While new technology and trends come and go, a personal touch and sentimental value gives the USPS value more profound than speed or ease. Hawkins agrees, “It’s nice to sometimes get a personally written letter in the mail. Nothing replaces a personally written letter to an old friend. It gives the message a more intimate feeling”. (Document D). The USPS represents more than a graph of profit or delivery points. It represents a long standing tradition that unites Americans.
