America

Authors Note: This essay is about how I am proud of America, and shows many examples

When you hear the word America what does it make you think of? A lot of people think of all of our troops that are fighting right now for us and how brave they are. All of them are so brave because they are putting their live on the line to make sure we are all safe and fine in America. Our troops have never lost a war and have saved the world by winning some big wars like against Hitler or the Japanese. America is most likely one of the most well run countries in the world.

People in America are very caring people. In 2007 people in America gave over 300 billion dollars to charitable causes. America gave twice as much as the next country most charitable country. When something bad happens like the earthquake in Japan. People from America go over to help out and a lot of other American citizens donate money. When America does something like that you can tell that America is unlike any other country in the world.

America is a very independent country we do a lot of things and pass a ton of laws that other probably think were crazy for passing. Like when we passed freedom of speech law 1948, allowing everybody in America to express their thought to a judge and not get thrown in jail. Freedom of speech is a really good thing to have if you want to run a fantastic country, because you can tell the president what he is doing wrong and maybe he will fix it. I think freedom of speech is one of the best things our country has done.

Catholic, Christian, Lutheran, and Baptist, the choice is yours only if you live in America though. We have freedom of religion unlike any other in the country we can choose our religion. We don’t have a dictator telling us what religion we have to follow. Freedom of religion plays a big part in country to make it best it can be. If you went to a different country I bet you they probably wouldn’t have freedom of speech.

Considering all the other countries out in the world, America has to be one of the top 5 best well run countries. If you live in America you get all the wonderful qualities like Freedom of speech and religion. America would be the first place where I would want to live.
