In this paper, I am going to look at the reasons "Immigrants" come to America. I will also discuss both their views of themselves and how Americans view them. The question I pose to answer throughout this paper is "When will Immigrants not be Immigrants anymore and become "Americans?" So why do people come to America

The American Dream is so many different things to so many different people. While other countries around the World would like to argue that Americans’ only aspiration is to become infinitely wealthy, Dinesh D’Souza claims that it is not wealth that Americans want. He believes that it is simply a better life. Michael Moore too acknowledges Americans’ ambition, especially his own, to create a better life for themselves. These two views of the American Dream come from very opposite Americans, but it

The American Persona To be considered an American, individuals do not have to be white, blond hair, blue eyes, and tall. Nor do green cards or legal statues make a true American. The persistence of an individual is what truly makes up the American Persona. As history has been repeated, Americans do whatever possible to thrive, they may take a break but, they never give up. The American dream is what many foreigners would desire to have. America is not only made up of whites but, the many different

a.) America created a border between Mexico and itself. It’s usually a large fence in heavily populated cities. The berlin wall in Germany was constructed to separate East Germany and West Germany.

To be an American it meant that “You are free, you can say the pledge of allegiance, vote for your president, proud to live in the United States.” Or at least that is the general definition found on google on the website Scholastic.com.

The typical American dream consists of a white picket fence, a beautiful house, and a perfect family, but would that dream continue to exist with constricting economic and behavioral factors? More specifically, would a child’s quality of life be disturbed by these issues? From day one, society is told that all they need to have a happy, successful life are the bare necessities, but recent studies and personal accounts have proven otherwise. The fragileness that surrounds a child’s life has the opportunity

America has the ability to make difference in people lives. As said before, people came to the United States to seeks better lives and more opportunities. I believe the American Dream also means being equally treated. Equal does not mean we are all the same. We are all different, which is what makes American the way it is today.
