In Peter Ferrara’s journal article, What is an American, he states his definition of an American. He says, “An American is English…or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani, or Afghan (Ferrara, par 3). Americans come from all different descents and backgrounds, originating and living in very different parts of the world. Americans all look very different and have many different skin tones. They can be anything from short to fat, to black to white. The looks of Americans may vary, but their beliefs are one in the same.

Americans are proud of their freedom and proud to stand tall and greet and teach new people that come into their daily lives about living a free life.

Americans welcome all different diversities and cultures because they are not afraid to learn and accept new people for who they are. Americans are always willing to gain knowledge of new things and have the best things, and most of the time these come from different areas of the world. “And just as Americans welcome all, they enjoy the

An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God (Ferrara, par 4).” In this statement, Peter Ferrara is also making the claim that Americans are entitled to whichever religion they choose.
