America Will Never Be Destroyed From The Outside Analysis

451 Words1 Page

Abraham Lincoln once said “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” What Lincoln is saying is that the United States will never be invaded by other countries. The only way the United States will be destroyed is if a revolution happened where lots of people did not like what was happening with the government.Or if they did not like what was happening with the country entirely. Freedom to me is the right to do what you want to do only if it's not breaking the law. This includes the right to bear arms, freedom of speech, not being forced to join the military ( unless you get drafted). Freedom is also the people in the united states, What i mean by that is people have rights many rights that makes them a part of freedom too. With freedom there are many responsibilities too. One of the biggest responsibilities is the right to bear arms. This is probably one of the biggest responsibilities because you screw up once with guns you can be banned for a period of time or you can be banned for life if you do something really horrible even if it was not on purpose. another big responsibility law is driving, if you get over the speed limit and you caught you can get fined …show more content…

Many people go to war to protect our freedom from people who try to take it away. also you are not forced into the military. If you do not want to go you do not have to (again unless you get drafted in tI ame of war). Most people that go into the military are going to honor their country or they get drafted. what the military does is they protect our military so future generations can also enjoy the comfort of having freedom. Freedom plays a big part in the United States laws. laws help us stay organized as a country. If our country didn't have laws it would be chaos. Imagine if there was no laws people could murder,steal,vandalize etc. without getting in

  • The Book 1776 by David McCullough

    1315 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout history, Americans have sought to spread the spirit of equality, which is believed to be the realization of true freedom. Before establishing this freedom, every American had only one question stuck in their head: What is freedom? Our country received it in the year of 1776 from the British through a series of difficulties and wars. African Americans defined it as an escape from slavery, while immigrants defined it as their acceptance into a new society. More yet, women of the women’s suffrage defined their freedom as their recognition into society and for their rights to be equal to that of every other man. These different perceptions of cultures/groups in America tied together to form an American view of freedom. Freedom is something that every American should be willing to do anything in order to maintain. We may have weapons of mass destruction, but when it comes to living in a peaceful, American lifestyle, our freedom is our greatest weapon.

    According to Dictionary.com freedom means “the state of being uncontrolled by another, or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint.” Freedom. What does freedom mean to you? Even though freedom means the state of being uncontrolled by another, or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint, I believe that freedom means being able to accomplish what you desire and when you desire it without anyone saying anything, by reason of the comparison and contrast of our society and the society in the book Anthem by Ayn Rand, the negation of the word freedom, and synonyms of the word freedom. I believe that you should accept the consequences of the actions you take when you have your “freedom” as well.

    Not everybody is willing to risk their lives for others. I think that certain people have strength and bravery to join the army. I think some people go into the Army to better themselves because maybe they are not having a good life back at home so they have no choice but to join the Army for a better life. According to the Defense ManPower Data Center only 0.4 percent of the United States population is in the active military as a whole(Chalabi,2015). The percentage of people who are active in the Army would probably be around 0.2 percent. People who are in the Army probably feel unique because not many people want to join. As a whole I view the members to be dedicated, dependable, and look out for each other and

    God has given us as human beings free will. Although if we make choices based on our own free will we must be willing to take the responsibility for the effects that our decisions have on ourselves, on the people around us, and on society itself. Freedom, I believe, is the way in which people live or behave without others annoying or interfering in his or her affairs. People should benefit from freedom, equality and justice. Absolute freedom is sometimes very dangerous and may destroy the basic principles of the society. A lot of people believe that freedom means doing whatever you want, whenever you want.

    Most people are willing to die for the ones they love. People often will die for their loved ones because they would rather have themselves die than the other person. I would die for my country if I had too. I probably wouldn’t go fight for my country unless they needed me because it’s not what I want to do in life. I think it would only be an illogical idea to serve your country if you knew that it was basically just suicide mission. It would also be illogical if you didn’t want to do it and they didn’t need you

  • The United States Will Fall like the Roman Empire

    1066 Words  | 3 Pages

    First, problems that the United States may be facing now have ultimately been influenced from political corruption the old Roman Empire had overlooked. Troubles began with the selection of a leader that would lead the empire to victory, wealth, and a “golden age”. Apparently, in Roman times, the emperor would choose who he considered would be a great ruler. Unfortunately, this idea was stupidly ridiculous. In my opinion, the emperor was asking for a death wish. By saying this, I mean those eager for the honor of being next emperor would take madness to the next level. Some would want the position so badly that in order to get to its climax, they’d go so far into murder, even for their loved ones. Twenty-five out of 37 Roman emperors were assassinated because of this foolish system. This contributed to the empires decline. The United States is the strongest country today, yet it is not perfect. However, it is a democracy and power is given to the people. But what happens when a dictator rises and takes control over these citizens and makes an unjust decision such as war? Isn’t that what President George Bush is do in today? Even though we protest and war in Iraq is costing America multi billions and US soldiers, he continues to destruct their territory. And for what? Oil? In Eminem’s words, “no more blood for oil…” Mr. Bush. And what’s this nonsense about these so-called “terrorists”? Have they threatened the Untied States? I think nt. President Bush’s insecure ideas are not only killing innocent people but also affecting us in a negative way and the country itself. This is not a leader America wants to be run by. It’s onl...

  • What Does Veterans Day Mean?

    They who serve that we may enjoy the best America has to offer; FREEDOM AND PEACE AT HOME. Those who choose to serve in the ranks of our military do so voluntarily. Some first join to help pay for school. Some join in the pursuit of learning a job skill for when they return to the comfort of home and family. Others join because it was their childhood dream to take up the Profession of Arms. But whatever their reason they all volunteered to provide a necessary service to America and in so doing extended that service to the rest of the world. This service is manifested in providing comfort to our own citizens suffering from the devastation of Katrina two years ago to the current events which unfolded in the wild fires in California. They also brought hope and comfort to peoples of other nations such as the people who suffered in the earthquakes in Pakistan and those areas devastated by the tsunami a few years before. From the deadly beaches at Normandy, to jungle warfare in South Vietnam, the vast deserts of Iraq, or the hillsides of Bosnia-Herzegovina ... the American service men and women have contributed the brunt of the force required to provide sanctuary and hope for the weak and oppressed. Those veterans have answered the nations calling and have done and continue to do so proudly.

These branches fight for our freedom, our rights, and our country!! (Robbie Hughes Interview)

Freedom is defined as "having liberty of action or thought, independent". "Self-governed or not controlled by an outside party" is another definition of freedom. Freedom has a different meaning to each individual thus making it hard to find a clear concise definition.
