Have you ever compared our country to any other? If so, did you see the tremendous difference in the way people are treated and the way they act there vs. in America? I believe that a person’s own rights and freedoms is what makes America great. People of America can speak critically of their own government, women can walk proud and fearless, and our government was designed to be corrected as society goes through changes.
People in other countries such as Communism China and Afghanistan never venture to express their ideas to anyone about their own political system or their own country because it is known that there will be serious consequences that will follow. Yet in America, the constitution amendments give us the right to freedom of speech. We have a right to criticize our political system and the people who run it as well as anything else that come to our
minds. We will not be ticketed, thrown in jail, beaten, or worse yet killed for what we choose to say. Though in other third world countries, these horrible things can happen plus things like disgracing your family and being banned from the city or country.
Thousands of immigrants legally and illegally come into America each year to obtain the freedoms and rights that their countries do not have like freedom to be critical, women’s rights, and an effective democratic government. I am very thankful for everything that our ancestors fought in order to make the United States of America what it is today, great!
