As Americans, Living In the "Richest, and most powerful country in the world,"(Katznelson, Kesselman and Draper , 2006) WE have the best opportunities in the world as a society as a whole. WE have freedom of speech, which allows us to say what is on our mind without reproductions. It allows us as people to be ourselves and state what we believe in. We have the right to vote, TO express who we want as a society to run this great land. We are allowed education for our entire family, not just one person out of the family, while all the rest are stuck working somewhere day in and day out for a penny a day. We don't put restrictions on our women to cover up and they are allowed to pick what man they will be with. THis allows a stronger Nation as our women can pursue their dreams and careers, which helps with economic struggles.
The struggles we face as a nation i believe is that we have parties spending way too much money on campaigns, just to brag about what they are better at compared to the other party. They also spend ridiculous amounts on just bashing their opponents on their flaws in life. Sorry but no one is perfect. I feel we have promises in elections we never see come true. I feel we have false hopes and aspirtations on how to fix our society. "Last election it was reported, that between both parties, 4 billion dollars was put towards the entire election for campaigning alone." ( www.cnn.com) IT seems odd we allow our parties to spend so much on an ordeal full of lies. Can't we spend that money on something different, something with more need for the money. Aka building up our economy again. Helping people keep their homes, building new jobs for people to make careers out of.
Can't we just figure out what needs to be done for the greater good of our nation, trather than focusing on which party will represent our country with the highest power by false advertising their promises?
