America is ‘’a place, too, where fact and fiction, myth and reality dance a curious gavotte. It is a society born out of its own imaginings.’’. America can not be examined alone, never. It is a full compilation of numerous cultures and thus, an ‘American’ is too. American is never a one thing, it is all the things. This unique situation of multi culture-d population is exciting and worth to examine. Even though America is neither the only, first or last example of this type of compilation of multiple nationalities and ethnicities in one land, the progress it showed in such short time (compared to other countries at the time being) is remarkable.
‘’Americans had created an American character and formulated an American philosophy.” We can understand the uniqueness. No one knew what America would become and yet everyone assumed they knew it for what it was. America was a blank sheet on which her identity was yet to be inscribed. And as it stated in the essay, it was the future and the past in the same moment.’’ — — If we were to examine how America structured its constitution and the people living under this constitution we would fail to find an any kind of repeating pattern.
‘’1835, Alexis de Tocqueville was entirely convinced that, “whatever they do, the Americans of the United States will turn into one of the greatest nations of the world . . . One day wealth, power, and glory cannot fail to be theirs.” Even though this is a controversial thing to say, the economic power America holds is can not be disregarded.
Unfortunately America today is not what America once wanted to become. ‘’It has the best and the worst health care in the world, depending on income and location’’, as stated in the essay. The fact that it is true shows us how divided and far away all the Americans and have become.
