ARE YOU PROUD OF YOUR COUNTRY?
According to Herben Cruty, the average American is nothing if not patriotic. I think Herbert Cruty is saying if you are just an American, you are nothing. You have to be a true American citizen. I am proud of my country because all the soldiers and veterans that served our country are awesome. Veterans and soldiers risk their lives to help save our country. I am also proud of my country for all the freedom that we have and the various amounts of opportunities. For example we have the right to go anywhere we want, when we want to. In some countries long ago people had curfews, different people different times. For some people it was 8:00 pm and for others it was 9:00 pm. If you weren’t in your house by that time you would get in big trouble. We also have the right to work wherever we want to work. Back then it was way different. Women weren’t allowed to work at certain places. I feel that back then they should have had the choice. Freedom is very important to our country. Freedom - is the ability to make your own choices. I think that if they still had those rules, and the soldiers wouldn’t have won the war in Iraq, life today would not be as much fun as it is today. There are many opportunities that we have now that many people didn’t have before the soldiers won the war in Iraq. One opportunity is that people could go to school wherever they want, they weren’t directly told to go to one school. They couldn’t choose the school that they wished to go to like we can now. Lastly you can be anything you want to be. For example you could be a doctor, dentist, police officer , and so much more. Women in other countries couldn’t work as a construction worker, or any jobs that men would probably do. I don’t think that was fair back then because I feel that if you want to be, say a construction women, you should be able to do it because it’s what you will probably be doing for a long part of your life. If you don’t enjoy what you do you won’t be happy. For these reasons, I am proud of my country.
