A lot of people are just trying to get by life without ever stopping and thinking about how their actions are going to affect us now and later, they just go by life trying to get to the end without trying to make a change or impact in our world. Everyone should be here to do that. America does have it's good thoughts though, they have good means for the change that they want to do, but it's all talk, no action. We can't expect something to get done when all we do is talk about it, we have to actually get up and do something about the problems and the changes we think are here and should happen. I'm sure we could be an even greater nation, where people do care about what they do, and they think about everything they are going to do before even doing it..

Am I the one that is stuck in my way or am I the one that made the next step and joined the Global Village? What does one gain from stepping out and finding out what he truly is? Being exposed to an immigrant community, one can understand the difficulty of extracting themselves from who they are and exposing themselves to a new world and a new culture. The older the person is and level of education achieved makes a big difference in one’s ability to blend in, extract themselves, and realize what they truly are. Big immigrant communities provide a good first step toward adjusting to a new culture, but there are also big handicaps at the same time.
Diversity in America The United States of America has a very broad diversity of life styles. Is it because of not caring that we choose not to expand our horizons in this diversity? I personally have several reasons why I have not fully expanded my horizons and have chosen to live in a community where people are more like myself. Having the freedom to choose who you associate with or live next too, should not classify a person of caring or not caring.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost and an extract of the second chapter of The Happiest Refugee by Anh Do are three extremely different examples of the physical and inner-journeys. But they represent the same universal idea that life is about the choices we make and the implications of these choices as “The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination”. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a narration of Huck Finn, as he struggles with self-discovery and the issues of race, friendship, society and morals.
