Pledge Of Allegiance
I believe in the importance of supporting the Pledge of Allegiance in our schools for several reasons. Our flag defines our national identity as the United States of America; it promotes respect for our country, and reminds our youth of our country’s struggle to become a nation. In the first place, we are identified as the United States of America throughout the world by our stars and stripes. Our identity is known throughout the world because of our willingness to give of ourselves. The United States as a whole has always supported our allies in times of war. Our people have always given of themselves to other countries in the form of their time and financial assistance. When problems arise we are the first to help throughout the world.

    World Affairs Dbq Analysis

    he time period after the American Revolution was a challenging time for the fledgling nation called the United States. The United States although did not have enough military power to exert to make other countries recognize its influence on World Affairs, the United States used other creative ways to prop up its interests in World Affairs. Three ways through which the US sought to enhance its interests in World Affairs was through The Treaty of San Lorenzo(TSL), The War of 1812 and the Monroe Doctrine(MD).…

    Summary For The Myths of American Exceptionalism

    United States places their virtues and morals forward to the world, giving a clear righteous image of them, especially as a country that claims to know more right than wrong. Conducting more claims that America has a respectful behavior, far better than other countries or nations, but the high statistics of civilians’ death caused by the United States, and the many wars that had been involved with over the years, which resulted in more damage, only to conclude that the United States are far from perfect when it comes to behavior.…

    United States Pledge Of Allegiance Analysis

    The United States Pledge of Allegiance is an honorable and commendable mantra. It concludes with, “one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.” Justice in the former reference is inclusive for everyone, an entitlement, granted upon birth. John Rawls position of justice is that “everyone should be treated equally and as fair as possible”. Mr. Rawls position parallels the Egalitarian theory of equality and mutual respect. This isn’t necessarily the practice because contrary to the hope for multiple factors are factored in to the outcome.…

    Society changes daily, even to a point in which the Constitution’s relevance is currently questioned. Although the Pledge is important to the majority of Americans, it should not be required in consideration of others. The American students who do choose to say the morning pledge should be respected by those who do not. Teachers should enforce no talking or distractions during the Pledge of Allegiance.…

    Why Did The United States Become A World Power

    The United States has been seen as one of the strongest forces on Earth for quite some time now. They have become one of the top world powers, alongside Russia, China, India, the UK, and many others. The United States became a world power in the 19th and 20th centuries due to the fact that they seized a great amount of land, grew their navy, constructed more bases, and created many policies with other nations out of wars. The inspiration for the United States to become a world power started with imperialism.…

    Words In The Pledge Of Allegiance

    While I agree with you that there are plenty of other issues going on in the world that needs to be addressed; however, I do think that this is one of those issues. I believe that this is a problem because it still stands for a country that no longer represents what those words have to say. Keeping those words in the Pledge of Allegiance only further promotes reasons for people to point out those that are different. I'm not religious at all and I have never been. I was forced as a child to go to church and I was forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance every day at school. It always made me feel uncomfortable to say under God because I never felt that it represented me and what I thought our country stood for. We can't keep saying…

    Pledge Of Allegiance Research Paper

    Some think that it was part of something far and unknown. No, actually it is and forever will be a big part in American history. Trying to remove it now is thoughtless, we shouldn't have to relearn to whole pledge because of some small percentage of who either don't believe in God or don't believe in "forcing" students to say it. Removing the words "under God" from the pledge, is going to hurt our belief in traditions. In the same article it says, " 'Most Americans have recited the pledge hundreds of times and are not inclined to memorize a different pledge', he says. 'Changing it may just feel wrong. Most Americans they believe in God or a higher being and feel comfortable having "under God" in the pledge.' " In other words barley anyone wants to learn a different pledge and the current one makes sense to the majority. Furthermore, our nation was built up on religious principles, shouldn't it stay that way? Why should we change it? Also, in an article called "Trump: 'Under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance Is 'a Great Thing' it says, " 'Because that's what we are and that is what we will always be, and that is what our people want', he said." Trump says that we thought of ourselves as living under God, and we think the same way…

    Importance Of Under God In The Pledge Of Allegiance

    The pledge of allegiance has remained an important part of the American legacy and culture. It takes part in the American school system, in American sports, and in many other areas. Many say that the pledge holds a place in their hearts, where it allows them to show their pride for their country. But in this pledge there are two words that have a tendency ring in the ears of many Americans, “under god.” In a country that is proud of the separation of church and state, we leave these words in a pledge that is said everyday by millions of Americans who believe and trust the right of separation of church of state yet we fail to do this for a major component in American culture. The words “under god” hold little meaning and should not be placed in the pledge of allegiance, they should be removed permanently.…

    Pledge Of Allegiance In School

    My choice of writing for the Rogerian essay is on the topic of the Pledge of Allegiance in School. “In a decision that stunned the nation, a federal appeals court in June ruled that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools is unconstitutional because the pledge contains the words "under God" “ (Chmielewski). The banning of the Pledge of Allegiance is a very large controversial topic because one side believes that while the foundation of our country is religion, the other side believes that the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance is an infringement on our First Amendment right. The Pledge of Allegiance began in 1892. It was a way of showing a sense of celebration for being an American. Since 1892…

    Analysis Of The Pledge Of Allegiance

    The legal side of the pledge of allegiance, it has been brought up to the supreme court more then one separate occasion. “The state’s Supreme Judicial Court is currently weighing an atheist couple’s argument that the words “under God” be struck from the Pledge of Allegiance, because they claim the phrase is exclusionary to atheist children like theirs” (Let’s End the Pledge of Allegiance in Schools). Again, going back to the history, the original version of the pledge of allegiance had no stating of religion. When Francis Bellamy added “under God” into the pledge, what he didn't realize is that it was violating peoples freedom of religion and was to be used in public school systems across the country. It sparked a world wide debate that is…
