The United States of America has been known for many years to be the greatest nation on earth, and for having beautiful, and intelligent citizens. But why is it the greatest nation on earth; what makes it so powerful and great? It’s the citizens. This nation is driven by a dream, or at least its citizens are, the “American Dream”. I myself as a citizen have realized that the “American dream” is far from being easy to accomplish, and that only a few are destined to achieve it. Not everyone is meant to make his or her dream come true, for this nation needs a hard working middle class to stay on its feet; and looks for ways to keep a good balance, to keep being the “Greatest nation on earth.” The only way to do that is to have a strong working middle class, and to keep people poor, because without a big middle class this nation wouldn’t be what it is today.

According to Salon, asocial media website that mainly focuses on U.S politics said that Germany “Germany has 900 programs in English, and is eager to attract foreign students to tuition-free universities due to the country’s shortage of skilled workers.”(P.1). Germany is not the only country that offers free tuition for higher education; other countries like France, Brazil, Finland, Norway, Slovenia, and Sweden also provide their students with free higher education. Even though those countries offer free education for their students they all have a problem; they aren’t the greatest nation on earth. Germany tries to attract foreign students so that they can have more skilled workers, which means that they aren’t doing very well and all of the other countries that offer free education aren’t known to be the greatest nation on earth, so what makes The United State of America so great? Is it the high price that they charge for higher education, or is it the illegal immigrants that work under the radar and also support the middle
The Evolution of Our Country The United States of America is considered one of the greatest nations in the world, but it did not get to be this way very easily. Our ancestors went through many trials and tribulations in our history and had to learn many lessons the hard way to get us to where we are today. Events like The Great Depression taught us many things. Also, new inventions, westward expansion and Roosevelt's New Deal impacted our country in positive ways. In 1866, with the American
Immigration and the United States of America Today we live in a world of which some have come to understand where it all came from. So many different little contributions have accumulated over the years to create “today” in the United States of America. Not one factor is more important than the next, however, some have had a larger, lasting impact today. Immigration and racial discrimination have played the most important role as to why American society has altered. In 1917 America entered World War
of basic human rights have occurred; state and federal governments established voting restrictions based on race. Fortunately, several methods were taken for overcoming these limitations that resulted in the voting practices used today. These recent legislations that government enacted have been to benefit voters. This research paper will go in depth with the main restrictions, laid out by either the states or the government, placed on different races in America, look at the over-comings of these limitations
Prison Reform in The United States of America “It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones” (Nelson Mandela, 1994). The United States of America has more people behind bars than any other country on the planet. The prisons are at over double capacity. It cost a lot of money to house prisoners each year. A large number of the prisoners are there because of drug related offenses
expect to find any similarities between the countries of Somalia and the United States. Even though the differences outweigh similarities, after deeper examination, Somalia and the United States do share a few similarities. These similarities include British rule, Civil War, and acts of domestic terror. A few differences may be government, climate, and military. At some point in history, both Somalia and the United States were under British rule. Somalia’s modern history began in the late 19th
Hate Crime in the United States of America THESIS: In this research paper, information will be given on hate crime in the United States of America. It’s best to know about these types of crimes before it’s too late because it’s rarely reported or spoken about but does occur on regular bases. Hate crime didn't come about until the early 1980's. It's sad how these types of crimes still occur so many years later; there are innocent people who are attacked simply because of their race, religion
punishable only with a fine ("The Sentencing and Punishment”). Punishments are usually more severe for the sex workers and pimps than for the solicitors of prostitution.

Nevada is the only U.S. state with allows legal prostitution in some of its rural counties. Occupational health and safety laws are applied to the brothels in these counties but the sex workers elsewhere in
We, The Corporations, Of The United States Of America At first glance, it seems implausible the word democracy isn't written in the United States Constitution, or in the Preamble of the Constitution, or even in the Declaration of Independence. One would assume a concept so paramount to modern American culture would surely be derived from one of its oldest and most endeared documents. Alas, it is not. The Constitution only specifically mentions two entities, the government and “We the People”. Defining
Here we will compare two radically different cultures occupying completely opposite sides of the world, the Philippines and the United States of America. This will be a comparative essay in which we compare and the two countries. Merriam-Webster defines culture as “the integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations; the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious
Comparing Presidents of the United States of America Because of their positions in the government and their resulting influential abilities, presidents are either praised for advancing the nation, criticized for not doing anything to help the country, or even making the country’s situation worse. Their success as president is dependent on the success of the country. People don’t take into consideration the attempts presidents make, but only those things that help or hurt the country. This leaves
which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refuted his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended
Post-Modernist eras were two very important time periods in the history of the United States of America. These two time periods were very defining periods in the United States and were very influential on the lives of many people and the affect the ideals expressed in these two movements had on the society of the country throughout the 20th century. Some artists that were under heavy influence of the modernist movement in the United States include: the writer, Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, the painter, Frank
for Native Americans during the mid to late 1800s. The reasons for their afflictions could only be blamed upon the United States of America. For thousands of years, Native Americans had roamed around the Americas. There had also been many tribes spread across the West that fought between each other in order to have their land.1 It wasn’t until after reconstruction in the United States, that the white Americans started having ordeals with the Native Americans.

will discuss the similarities of military, economics and systems of government between the Roman Empire of the 6th century BCE and the United States of America of the 20th century. History has revealed that all superpowers fall eventually, although much time has passed since the glory days of Rome we see in 2015 the largest superpower in charge, the United States. There are many similarities that can be drawn between the American superpower and the Roman Empire such as the same founding of government
