America Is Still A City On The Hill Analysis

My understanding of a credentialed veterinary technician is they are essentially a “nurse” to a Veterinarian. They are expected to do anything from assisting in surgery, managing anesthesia, drawing blood, administering medications, taking x-rays, cleaning teeth, interacting with clients, and so much more. They must be familiar with many different animal species and have the ability to restrain them. A Vet Tech must also deal with “bad days,” when an animal cannot be saved. As upsetting as this can be, ideally the good days outweigh the bad. Wherever there is a Veterinarian, there is a need for a Veterinary Technician. All animals, large and small, cold and warm, land or aquatic, sometimes need medical attention, and a Vet Tech is at the

If you were to step back and take a look at all of the problems America is facing, you would think we were falling apart. For instance, there is a lot of poverty because a lot of young men drop/flunk out of school which leads to little job openings causing them to not make a lot of money sending them into poverty. And with all these boys dropping out of school that creates a problem for our military since you need to have at least a GED to be enlisted. But with these and many other problems the U.S. is able to somehow keep their mojo on. Other countries are not quite as lucky, like Rome for instance.

The online video titled, America the Story of Us: Bust depicts several topics that affected America after the economic boom of the 20th century (You Tube, 2015). One important topic is the Dust Bowl. This refers to a geographical area in the Midwest, which was adversely impacted by drought during the 1930s. This drought killed the crops that were responsible for holding the soil in place. Thereafter, severe winds caused enormous dust clouds to form, which adversely effected region by covering houses, suffocating livestock, and creating serious health problems, including pneumonia among many of children. A large portion of the agricultural production in the United States was destroyed by the combination of dust and drought. The Dust Bowl occurred

My first point it that the United Stated has a strong Military. The United States military is very powerful today and has many soldiers joining and fighting each year. The United states has the largest Military in the world if you combine all of its aspects. It has the most Military vehicles than any other Military. It has many types of transportation. It has Naval Ships and Submarines, Air force planes and fighter jets, Army Tanks, Humvees, Helicopters, and many more. The United states military has a total of 1,400,000 active members, 8,848 Tanks, 13,892 aircrafts, and 72 submarines

In a 2015 article, “Is U.S. military becoming outdated?” written by Stuart Bradin, Keenan Yoho, and Meaghan Keeler-Pettigrew, the authors argued that despite the U.S. military maintaining a position of global dominance “without peer” during conventional operations, it is not the ideal force against current and future threats. The authors claim that there are several negative factors arising due to the past sixteen years of war against several state and non-state elements, inferior cultural differences of government bureaucracy compared to commercial firms, and a misallocation of defense spending that leaves the US military waging war inefficiently while simultaneously losing technological dominance against current and future threats.

Most of the social class groups in America are treated differently in of services at Hospitals and Clinics. The term “social class” is a group of individuals that shares common features from an economic, behavioral view and ideological representation of the world around them. In the New York Times article, Life at the Top in America Isn 't Just Better, It 's Longer, Janny Scott highlights patients who experienced heart attacks and how they were treated at different medical clinics. Scott evaluates the upper class, middle class and working class and how it impact in people’s health and emergency care. Scott specifically points out the types of treatments and medications were given by doctors to patients. In the book, Framing Class: Media Representations of Wealth and Poverty in America, Diana Kendall describe about how the upper class portrays middle class people based attitudes and judgments between ideological characteristics. The term “admiration framing” are the interests that upper and wealth class help raise good cause on medical treatments towards other social class. Kendall quotes “journalists and television writers hold elites and their material possessions in greater awe…” (3-4). Kendall explains that the upper class people can be generous and help the working and middle class by helping towards their conditions of life. The working and middle class people don’t have the type of health opportunities as the upper class people do which impacts their lives. Diana

According to the Forbes magazine, the average salary for a college football player is $125,000 (Dorfman). Now, many people would think that college athletes should be paid very little, if at all. In my personal opinion, I don’t believe college athletes should be paid. Now, getting into the idea of a college sport, first, we would have to get into the whole idea of “college”. A college is a place where you go to have fun, learn, but at the end of the day, you have to pay for college.

The military has been instrumental in the protection and development of U.S interests around the world. From the Revolutionary War, which established the United States as a nation, through the World Wars, which set up the U.S as one of the world super powers, to its current war on terror, the military has helped and protected U.S. interests around the world. During all these wars American soldiers have proudly served their country. Because of these wars America is famous throughout the world for military power and its protection of freedom in the world. Today the U.S is an international symbol of wealth and power; it has the largest Gross Domestic Product in the world as well as the strongest military. Yet even America falls prey to a

Have you ever been in a situation where you have to choose one side or another, but agree and disagree with both sides? Everyday American citizens deal with this problem everyday of their lives. There are two sides, or parties, of America, Republicans and Democrats. These two parties hardly, if ever, agree with a particular issue. However, they always find ways to disagree, and explain why the other side is simple minded with a particular issue. In the Ted talk, “Can a divided America heal,” it explains ways how our divided America can heal, as well as ways why our divided America will not heal. I believe that American citizens are too stubborn to be able to come together, and heal America.

Societal assimilation for vietnam veterans is like climbing Mount Everest without any prior knowledge and proper supplies, irrational and unreasonable. Societal assimilation for anyone is a difficult task to accomplish, but for a vietnam veteran, the difficulty of the situation is increased one-hundred times more. Many vietnam veterans are exposed to society and to the world without any prior knowledge of it, or not enough information for them, to the point where they can easily integrate back into society. Societal assimilation is one of the many things that gradually cause displacement in Vietnam veterans when it comes to being a stable member in society.

Every four years, Americans go to the polls and vote. Experts say approximately 23% of America have unregistered voters. Voting is vital. Every single vote counts on election day. The Presidential Election brings out the most Americans. Democratic and Republican parties go head to head in the race to become the nation’s president. In 2008, the presidential hopeful will be Barack Obama. He will provide citizens with affordable healthcare insurance. Obama will give tax breaks to the working class and improve the education systems.

Most of us assume emerging economic, political and climate changes will be remodeled by the emerging technology we have today. We are sure YouTube, streaming, and video on-demand will be the wave of the future and change our lives for the better; giving us more money, free time, and control of our lives. Our well-oiled lives in the Tech Age are incompatible with our grandfather's blue collar days scratching out a living turning wrenches at the local garage. We’re at the top of our technological game.

“America was conducting business as usual, but others were joining the game.” (Zakaria, 221). All this time we thought we were on top, we were actually slowly becoming less and less of leader and more a bystander as the rest of the world is slowly rising around us. Zakaria shows in that quote that as America has been continuing business like always, and because of this we have failed to realize our standing with the world around us. In the book The Post-American World, Zakaria shows us the challenges that America faces today. I believe the United States is most affected by our ignorance, competition, and worldly participation.

In Langston Hughes poem “Let America be America Again” he talks about how America should return to the way that it was perceived to be in the dreams before America was truly America. Throughout the poem he uses various methods to evoke the patriotic images and dreams that he feels America should and will eventually be. Hughes states that America is supposed to be a place of equality for everyone including both white and colored people. During this period in time though there was not equality for everyone. Hughes talks about an America where both whites and colored people will have equality in all aspects socially, politically, and economically. What Hughes is saying is that both whites and colored
