Hilary Clinton on 20th January at Capitol Hill, Washington D.C. Goodevening America! I am so happy today. We are so happy today. Not just because I am standing where I am standing right now, but more because we have just won a battle. A battle for the hope to keep the identity of our nation. The United States of America, where the word united not only means for all the stars on our flag but for all the people who live in these stars. The people. Irrespective of their origins, their preferences, their colors, caste, the natives, the immigrants, the blacks, the whites, the Asians, the Christians, the jews, the muslims, the hindus, theists, atheists, everyone! Everyone out there whom we can see, touch, listen to and act for! We have just won the battle for our hope. And for that I am very happy, and grateful and honoured. But my gratitude does not end with a thank you, it rather begins with it and extends towards a plead, a request, that although we have crossed the first milestone of achieving our dream, in the race to come …show more content…

Be it the recent Brexit or the currency devaluation of china or the terror attacks in various parts of the world or the oil crisis out there, and we wonder…how will it impact my country, how will it impact my life. Well, I too wonder the same. Because American spirit is to welcome people from all over the world, from all sectors of the world, allow for a favourable trade environment, grow and let grow. And these headwinds do impact our functions. What we need to do is increase our immunity, our self-reliance, our independence by not being a closed nation in the world or being hostile to the brothers and sisters of different motherlands, but by coming together, strengthening our capacities, strengthening regulations, controlling budgets, increasing security and plugging leakages while still being the global America, the robust America, our

    “Land of the free and the home of the brave.” This line has represented the United States for decades. These words were captured in The Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key and since 1913, the United States has adopted The Star-Spangled Banner as its national anthem. We have used the Red, White, and Blue as one of our nation’s symbols. It has fifty stars, to represent the number of states we have in our Union. The military pledges its allegiance to the flag and the country which it represents at all costs. We are the land of the free and the home of the brave, and we are proud to show it.

    How many Americans recognize the man on the back of the one hundred dollar bill? Do you know who he is and why he is on the back of that bill? If you said George Washington then you are right!

  • Response to Speech Titled An American Success Story

    1428 Words  | 3 Pages

    Your speech has been capable of showing people your thoughts and ideas on “An American Success story”. In “An American Success story“, you tell your audience that forty years ago you entered America through a U.S. District Court in New York. I believe that the U.S. District Court is in the same area as the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. You spoke of applying and receiving your American Citizenship, then going through an honored ceremony. Also you spoke of the meanings and feelings that this Certificate has expressed on you, which showed your public viewers. Well as much as your viewers see this speech, personally I do not agree with you on some levels of your speech being a well rounded and believable description of “An American Success Story”. You state only your experiences not knowing what anyone else went through nor giving any examples of anyone else’s experiences. Mr. Nakasian, my opinion of you is constructed of an idealistic person who wants to believe everything that comes out of your mouth.

  • The Current States of America

    932 Words  | 2 Pages

    Bob Herbert, columnist and professor of journalism, wrote about the current condition of America in “A Fire in the Basement,” an introduction to a collection of his editorials, Promises Betrayed: Waking up from the American Dream (2005). The “fire” he is referring to, is the idea that America is falling apart from the inside out, and we aren’t even aware of it. He suggests that our current state as a world power is in decline, and it’s not the terrorists we should be worried about. Rather, he gives examples showing that this decline will be the result of the growing inequality, irrationality, and the loss of hope within our nation. He states, “It’s not that life in America was better in the 1960’s. It wasn’t. But it seemed to be moving in a better direction” (396). In other words, we’ve lost a crucial part to what made us a great nation in the first place. If we don’t recover this hope and can-do spirit soon, we may be headed for a supporting role on the world stage.
