America’s Gift to My Generation Those who expect to reap the blessing of freedom, must, like men, to undergo the fatigue of supporting it. This quote is from Thomas Paine and it means that you have to keep on working, even when you are tired, you have to keep on going for your blessings of freedom. This is a great quote because most people stay at home and inveigh about how they can not get a job and do nothing and still get welfare. Then there are people that are working hard for our country in the military and fighting for our freedom. The military is giving us a gift by sacrificing their lives for our freedom. They are out there in different countries, working and fighting, not giving up on us. Them people are working hard and then there

    This quote greatly relates to revolting against authority in a positive way, and can encourage a person to become a rebel with a cause. The quote encourages people to go outside their comfort zone or the go against the normally accepted grain by breaking some rules as they progress towards their targeted accomplishment. Even though the end result might be a disadvantage or painful for those who choose to follow this path, at the end, the persons will have a higher chance of asserting power and control over their counterparts. This might serve to compensate an inner weakness that such people might have imagined they possess.

    ...hey did serve for us and our/their country and they did their best. It should not matter if they were hurt or not and it should not matter if they only served 4 years or less, No matter what they should receive benefits. I feel a good way of showing our men and woman appreciation is to help them say a marriage happens I feel the military should help out with at least half, and if the person dies they should pay for the entire funeral. To me that really would show appreciation to them for what hey did. Any person who serves should be recognized and rewarded as for what they did they did for us and their country and they did not have to do it at all.

  • It's Time for Americans to Understand that Freedom Isn't Free

    2445 Words  | 5 Pages

    I feel inspired and patriotic every time I see a car’s back bumper sticker featuring an American flag stating, “Freedom Isn’t Free!” The moral clarity of those words rings as true as the Liberty Bell. Those Americans that do not fathom the significance of the motto Freedom Isn’t Free suffer from the very problematic “victim/slave mentality,” which ultimately will become a future reality should more citizens not heed the simple message the sage language conveys. Yes it indeed bears repeating, “Freedom Is Not Free!” Its acquisition from King George’s England involved struggle, its maintenance throughout the first two and a quarter centuries of our Great Republic required sacrifice and its continuation demands perseverance. Wise people fully realize that struggle, sacrifice and perseverance are the vital characteristics of freedom, democracy and independence.

    America gives people freedoms that not all countries offer to all of their citizens. The first gift America gives to my generation is education. America has given every child that lives within its boundaries, the opportunity to have a public education paid for by taxpayers. In some other countries the schooling is privatized or are only offered to certain groups. Girls are often one of the groups of people who are not always allowed to go to school. Fifty-three percent of people who do not have a formal education are girls. I am part of the Cambridge program which is a program for gifted students in middle school. The program is sponsored by Cambridge University in England and costs the district a lot of money to sponsor. The district does
