My Responsibility to America ‘’No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background or his religion. People learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.’’ -Nelson Mandela. America needs to unify by standing up for our rights. We have men and women fighting for our freedoms but they are being taken by the minute. We have many historical evidences like the Mayflower Compact and the Declaration of Independence that proves we have fallen away from what our founding Fathers wanted. We need to be in pursuit for finding a pathway to our Founding Father’s visions like standing up for our religious freedom and standing …show more content…
If one person takes the challenge then that person could change America one by one. Let us take a moment to ask this question, “Is this the environment in which we want our kids or grandchildren to live?” If no, what is going to be done to make sure positive change happens? Never be afraid to stand up for what you know is right no matter your age. God will bless you keeping you in His hands. No doubt some will make fun and try to overpower, then fight harder, and stand firm. Our government needs Jesus. America needs Christian leaders who will listen to and obey God. If people’s eyes were opened, there would be a realization that God is the only solution to America getting back on her feet. Many people question how God could allow America to fall so far. We cannot blame God for all our problems because most of them are our fault. It is the duty of American citizens to vote after seeking God’s direction. Voters need to study the candidates and not just vote for whoever they want. We need grandparents to pray for their kids and grandkids. We need families to be raised in Christ and to be a light on earth. Our duty is to prove to many generations to come that God our Father is the answer. We need God to get ahold of our families. We do not want lazy parents who care less what their kids are …show more content…
We need to become unified and work together to win our nation back. We need the right leaders running our country with respect and fear of God. We need to listen to God’s advice and wisdom found in the Bible. Isaiah 30:21 says, And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,’’ when you turn to right or when you turn to the left. We need the leaders of America to know God’s voice so He has a say in our law-making decisions. We need to realize the importance of electing leaders who spend time in the Word and have a real relationship with God. As a teen who has seen many of the worldly and dangerous things, I am scared for this generation and generations to come. We should not be under religious death like we are. We have the best resource to make America great again. It is Jesus Christ the Son of the living God. He came down from Heaven and died on the cross for our sins. Our nation has not wanted to accept that. People must be willing to stand firm and step out of their comfort zone. Let us unite and stand up and fight for our freedoms and rights
Will you join in that historic effort?” He calls out directly to the citizens, using the words “my fellow Americans” which gives the effect that he is no different than the common man, but merely an important “figure” in a suit behind a podium. He energizes the crowd, raises their morale, ignites them with confidence, “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for your country.” He summons us all to take part and action into changing the nation as a whole, step by step, slowly but surely. And finally, he restates it, but this time, referring to the world, “My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of
The United States of America has seen great change throughout its history. While a considerable amount of time has matured the nation, the core spirit of the American people remains unaffected. In spite of all the wars fought and problems that arose, the
It is time to put aside our differences and focus instead on what we have much more of: similarities. In his State of the Union Address, President Donald Trump said, “Tonight, I call upon on all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground, and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people. This is really the key. These are the people we were elected to serve” (Montanero, 2018). Though the division of our country is disheartening, we must maintain hope.
In 2050 the American Government can be a government of the people if we turn the tide now and get back to providing equally for all. The thoughts and postings of some of my younger classmates give me hope that we can and will be better. We have to educate and show our youth they yes they are entitles to their beliefs and opinions but not to demonstrate in destructive and hateful manners. Get back to our youth and guide them with positive role models and open and respectful
I learned that some people are willing to give up parts of their freedom for this change. Some of this is due to the prevalent racism in parts of the country, the refusal to accept that love is love, the want to “Make America Great Again”. They support policies that restrict the freedom of others: our LGBTQA+ brothers and sisters, our immigrant neighbors, our diverse skinned friends, and our male and female family members. They advocate for a candidate who is more than ready to limit the freedom of people who helped build this country, invent our culture. Much of this is also due to the continuous violence in the world, the attack on movie theater goers, educated students, bright eyed children, expecting mothers, and the world. Unfortunately, instead of inciting change and doing something about it, they turn to someone who advocates “safety” by taking away what our nation was found
efficiently explains the importance of Christian involvement in their right to vote. Barton sustains why Christian involvement is important in American voting rights. As Barton emphasizes that American culture is turning away from Christian beliefs because of lowered Christian involvement in voting. Christians should assume responsibility for the maintenance of this God-given privilege for future generations. Christians need to understand voting is a privilege from God to the American Christian. Christians are responsible to be virtuous stewards of this right for current and future generations ahead.
In the article The Role of Pastors and Christians in Civil Government David Barton persuasively advocates the need for Christians to be involved in politics. As Americans, voting is a civic responsibility. For the Christian, it is a God-given command to voting stewardship. Christians who do not vote often give the excuse that they do not approve of any of the candidates that are running for office. Just because we do not agree with the choices that are listed on the ballot under the different offices, does not mean we should not vote. Voting is a responsibility and a privilege that we should not take for granted. When we as Christians do not vote, then we should not be surprised when leaders are elected that do not reflect our beliefs on the issues. If Christians want to witness a change in our country’s government and its leaders, they need to vote.
Our generation will keep America a trusting and safe place for others to come to during times of war and hardship. We shall keep America a place of freedom and acceptance where no one is discriminated against or put down for their beliefs. We shall keep America strong and make sure that it stays that way. I believe that if all put aside our differences and came together to help rebuild America to what it once was we may be able to restore the glory that we once had before.
My responsibility to America is something I've never thought about before. I've never taken the time to look at everything that this country has given me, and what I need to give back to it. Now that I have started thinking about what this country has done not only for me, but the people around me; I have realized that for my sake, and my future family, I want to get out of here as soon as I can. I don't want to live in a country that decides that it is a better idea to supply money to the oil companies that go into other countries and create problems which lead to war, rather then using that money to give the veterans that are out on the street a place to live and food to eat. I don't want to live in a country where healthcare doesn't come
We must work to develop a love for our country and its people-making it so great that we would do almost anything to keep America together. It must be built through learning the history of our country, celebrating the nation’s holidays, and working for change. This attachment is vital not only to us, but to our world. We influence other countries, so much that they rely on us, despite their refusal to admit it. If we fail, our fall will have a huge impact on the human race.
Not once in the word of God, does it say anything about how we are supposed to approach this specific issue. However, there are concepts that are found in the Bible to help give us wisdom about how to approach this particular issue. We should respect our leaders in the government because they are given their authority by God. We should keep the state out of Church affairs. The Bible also tells us to honor all people, and to love our brothers and sisters in Christ. This is what the Bible says about the government and our role in
“In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are untimely our own responsibility.” -Eleanor Roosevelt. We are held accountable to be an upstanding citizen and help the community. However, I feel as Christian citizens it's our responsibility to share the gospel of Christ to whoever we can and show the world a Christian perspective. Americans I believe our general responsibility is to say and know “The National Anthem,” pay tribute to those who serve or have served, and access the right to vote
What do I value as an American? What is America to me? I sit and I reread the same the sentences over and over again. I’m not sure how to approach my feelings of conflict. I know America is one of the greatest countries, but it can also be a place where equality and respect is not as valued as it should be. I see America differently than any other person can see it. I have my own thoughts, feelings, and experiences that shape my perception of the country I live in.
Free tuition for colleges is a topic that has come up a lot lately in the United States. Especially in the beginning of this year, when the democratic race was in place, Bernie Sanders started making tuition-free colleges one of his campaign points. While there are some that seem to neglect the idea of free tuition, the majority will agree that if not free at least it should be affordable. This topic is a very interesting one because it provides fascinating facts on both sides of the spectrum. One thing people argue against free tuition is that the United States has around 300 million people in population and it could not possibly keep up with the increase in college attendance and cost. On the other hand free tuition in colleges is relative common in almost every first world country around the world and even second and third world countries. Which leaves us to determine that it is not only possible for government to be responsible for education but it seems to be the norm around the world except in the United States. I think that colleges should be tuition free. Community colleges should be funded by the government and the government should not only be responsible in providing free tuition to its citizens but take pride that its citizens have access to free education, making its society an educated one.
We as a nation are not united. To the contrary, we are distrustful, hateful, and unfortunately even violent. We don’t accept our differences. Martin Luther
