What is an american

                In my opinion, being an American is not based on being an born in america but also living in America. In America the government does not realize that people that live in America are now part of the state. America is made up of many cultures, religions, and the way they look. To be american it means that a person is free. America gives a person the freedom of speech that helps us americans to say what we think and not pay any consequences. Being American is good because people can be whoever they want to be and wont be judged on their differences. In America people have the right to get a good education and not like other states where kids can't go to school because they dont have money. In america it is wrong if a kid does not go to school the government  will take the parents to court and fine them. So, in america every kid has an education if they want to or not. Some people that were not born in America do not have the privilege as people that were born in America because they do not have the right to get the good jobs that pay good money. And they have to work on the jobs that do not pay good money. Also if immigrants do something wrong they would be deported back to their state.

        

            In America people have the right to vote. This gives people the right to choose who they want as their leader. Many people come to america to better their live and make their dreams come true. In america people have more rights than other people in other states. In some states women do not have rights and are treated like they are not worth anything. But, in America women are treated half as equal as men. Women are treated equally in some cases. For example, the man is payed more the women does not get payed the entire dollar.

         An american takes prtide on being american. They are not ashamed of where they are. Being an American is not all good their are many bad things. For example their are not many good jobs. Their are jobs but some jobs do not pay alot of money. And most of the people of america did not finish school or were not born in america. So, they can get the good jobs. Something good about america is that it helps homless people and single moms. They are both given money to help them survive. Its the persons choice the choose what they use the money for.
