Americans

What does it mean to be an American? There are many meanings to what it means to be an American. Different people have different views on what it means to be an American. Being American means you have rights; rights that not a lot of people in other countries have. I am very thankful to be an American because I have all the opportunity in the world to excel and be whatever I want and no one can tell me different. I think that other countries look up to America and try to be like us because they see that we have established our place and they see that we are one of the super powers of the world. There are many different cultures within American. There's the hip-hop culture, the skater culture, the prep culture etc. Depending on where in America you are also determines what type of people you will see and what things you will be exposed to. America is the most diverse country in the world. There are many nationalities that make up the United States of America. Other countries use our government to try and make their own hoping that they will be as successful as we have been. Our government is setup so that everyone has a say in what goes on and not one person has too much control so things don't get out of hand. I think the main issue in our country as of now is the war in Iraq and the issues people have with president bush. I think if people really disliked him that much then they should try to keep him out of office. I'm proud to be an American because I have the ability to do anything I want.
