Personal Narrative: My Ideal American Society
An ideal world for me would consist of us helping one another get up on our feet rather than compete and drag each other down. My ideal world does not have to be perfect in any way because our imperfections are what makes us who we are as people. And those imperfections are what drives or motivates us to be the best versions of ourselves. Critically analyzing all of the choices I have for an ideal American society, I would definitely choose the values of empathy, equality and lastly perseverance. I think that by centering our society in these three values, we not only better our ourselves, but our community and country as a whole. There is too much violence going on in our country that we need to focus in the idea of empathy, to understand and feel for those who we think we cannot relate to. We need to practice the idea of equality, because without equality, then no one is truly free. The minority of the people has been fighting for decades to get the equality that all people no matter the color of the skin deserves. We have evolved and have becomes less focused in the color of the skin of people, however, it still remains in our society and it still has not truly gone away. By practicing the value of equality for all, no matter what we consider ourselves, we would definitely have a better …show more content…
These values would encourage everyone to help each other up rather than tear each other down. It would be a community that accepts everyone for who they are and not be judgemental about it. Equality will open up a lot of opportunities for many of our people. Empathy will allow us to be more of a communalistic rather than an individualistic society. Perseverance will also allow people to get through many of the battles they are facing on a daily basis. This will be an ideal society for me because it allows others to have positive values in

    My political viewpoint has changed dramatically since I was first introduced to politics. I come from a democratic family, where it is strongly believed that it is the government’s responsibility to care for all people and that the government knows what is best for all people. Every voting season, my parents vote for a democratic president and explain to me the reasoning behind their decision. It was not until I was in the tenth grade that I realized that I did not hold the same political beliefs as my parents. After taking several political quizzes and extensively researching the bevy of political parties, I now know that I am an independent. What is an independent? An independent is an individual politician not affiliated to any political…

    I am American. I was born in the United States America. Being an American has various meanings for me. It means I have endless opportunities. It means that I have a standard to uphold. And finally, it means that I am very lucky. When I think of America, I think of the blood and tears that was shed in order to make this beloved country. I think of the Revolutionary war and the thousands of fathers, brothers, and uncles that stood up, fought, and died for freedom. I think of the Civil War, and the bravery and nobility that was shown when fighting for what people believed in. I think of the 20th century, when technological innovation was at its height, and the great working minds that gave us what we know today. I think of World War Two and the…

    A recent event in my life where I felt proud was getting enough money to help my parents pay for bills and succeed and pursue "the american dream". I started to work for HoneyBaked Ham part time since I was eligible to work. The paychecks felt great and giving them to my parents was felt better. As my sister and I get ready for college, the money got tight and I did gigs on the side. I did everything from landscaping to repairing phone screens. Felt stressful but, mind over matter right? Thats exactly what my parents thought when they moved overseas to the new world. I felt a huge sense of pleasure as I could see stress lift off their shoulders when I gave them the money This would help me in college because I know I can give myself the extra…

    Each and everyday people walk the halls of this school. You see people walking on the streets in their neighborhood. They are all walking forward. Why? That is what is normal. We have been doing it this “normal” way since humans could walk. Baby's first learning to walk don't walk backwards do they? No, they are biologically programmed to move forward. I wanted the breaking of my norm to be obvious. What better way than to walk backwards and go “against the crowd”.…

    Samuel, I really enjoyed your post as I like hearing about other people’s family history since mine is so diverse. With your skin tone, eyes, and hair I can see why someone may say you look Hispanic. At least you take it in stride. Today, too many people get offended when someone calls them the wrong race or ethnic origin. It is really good that you continue your family’s tradition of cooking Greek and Italian dishes and I hope your children continue that. My family has been in this country so long and has so many nationalities in the mix that we have Southern traditions instead of a specific country. I do enjoy researching my family’s history. I do not have anyone famous in my family so far, but my great-great grandfather, Private John Henry Gwathney, did manage to survive the Civil War while serving under General Nathan Bedford Forrest.…

May 22, 1999, my first day on this world; Kronach hospital had its first American baby in their hands, yet they acted like I was a different species. The only event I remember was when I was about one. While I was one, I grabbed everything in my reach, even a grill handle. As a baby, I did not know that the handle was moving, the grill top had smashed my thumb. Ever since that event, I now have a starfish mark on the side of my right thumb from where the stiches were.…
