Recommended: American education system

America has done a great deal for me. This country has accepted my family and has given them freedom, education, and work. Because they were allowed these opportunities, we live a stable life with food, clothes, and shelter. In 2001, I was born in the land of the free, and received rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as stated in the Declaration of Independence. For all this, I owe a great deal to my nation, America. It is my duty to make America greater than it has ever been before. My responsibility to my country is to be a leader, especially as a female. I owe it to my country to be highly educated. Furthermore, I owe it to my country to be an active member in society. I believe that these are just a few of the responsibilities that I have to America. For all that America has already done for me, I need to be a leader. As a female, I know that we are “equal to men”, but we are not always treated that way. Women need to change America’s perspective on our capabilities. As a female, one of my responsibilities is to do just that. To be someone my fellow citizens can look to for guidance and to be the change that we would all like to see in this country. In order to do so, I must be mindful of those around me and think of how they will be affected. I, as an American female, must make …show more content…

It is possible that this statement is biased, but I would not trade living here in America for any other place in the world. We as citizens of America are fortunate enough to have liberties that other countries do not receive. In conclusion, my responsibility to America is to be a living example in all aspects of life. I am to help lead my country as well as encourage others to do the same. This is just a small part of my responsibility as an American. America has given me everything, and I owe it to my country to give back for all that it has done for not only me, but my family and

    America is the land of opportunity. It is a place of rebirth, hope, and freedom. However, it was not always like that for women. Many times in history women were oppressed, belittled, and deprived of the opportunity to learn and work in their desired profession. Instead, their life was confined to the home and family. While this was a noble role, many females felt that they were being restricted and therefore desired more independence. In America, women started to break the mold in 1848 and continued to push for social, political, educational, and career freedom. By the 1920s, women had experienced significant “liberation”, as they were then allowed to vote, hold public office, gain a higher education, obtain new jobs, drastically change their appearance, and participate in entertainment and sports. However, there are some that say that females were still suppressed by the advertising industry and stereotypes. But even with those setbacks, women achieved a new way of life that affected the entire nation.

    Throughout the history of western civilization, women have fought for their rights to be treated as equal citizens. The problem of gender inequality has been prevalent for centuries. The movement for equal opportunity has gained traction in different eras but is still far from complete. Today, we are faced with an America that has made a choice. It has made a choice for division, for stagnancy and for retrogression. Women have been subtly told that their value does not rest in politics, nor in business, nor in leadership. After the results of the 2016 election cycle that subtly is gone. The America of today is different from the America of yesteryear. The underlying notes of sexism are no longer hidden.

    I was inspired to study abroad in England because the country has such a strong cultural identity. When we think of England, we often think about the stereotypical tea drinkers that eat bangers and mash; however England is much more than that. England stood out to me because I felt I knew so much and so little about it. I realized that I knew about the American perception of England and not the real country. Hence why I decided to study at St. Mary’s University, so I could really understand England as a culture and society. I thought studying in London made the most sense because the city is so culturally diverse and aligns with my interests. London is at epicenter for theater, pop culture, fashion, cinema, and I want to experience all of it.
