Expression of Nationalism Nationalism is a feeling that people have of being loyal to and proud of their country often with the belief that it is better and more important than other countries, or a desire by a large group of people (such as people who share the same history, culture, language, etc.) to form a separate and independent nation of their own. Nationalism can be expressed in a variety of ways and at a variety of levels. The Quebecois and the First Nations of Canada express their nationalism through politics, national days (culture), and language. Quebec independence debates are an example of expression of nationalism.
In this paper, Danial’s thesis seems to be clear on what he is going to write about. Danial is explaining how citizenship can save America through Barber; the author. He points out some strong statements where he is able to back up it up. As Danial explained ”Every nation in the world looked at America with admiration and not only did they respect America, but they believed in the leadership offered by America. The leadership did not come from the government however; it came from hard working citizens who were more concerned about the well being of their nation than their own lives” (2).
Military veterans make the ultimate contribution to society; the dedication and bravery of soldiers have been a key pillar on which the United States stands. From Revolutionary War heroes to Vietnam veterans, a few veterans that have defended our country and that have brought an impact are: Tony Bennett, B.B. King, Bea Arthur, Mel Brooks, and hundreds more. Veterans are very important to our nation’s history and future. They impact our country everyday, and thanks to them we are free.
He argued that social development studies showed changes in their social behaviors and their interactions once in their new environment. Thus, he concluded that the new society was uniquely America. He has a very valid argument, but I believe he could have maintained the strength of his argument while also including the fact that the American people coming from British roots, the Puritans, the Royalist elites, the North Midlanders of England and the North British and Irish were still unique as a sub-culture melded together by the choice for religious and economic freedom. The pursuit to own land and accumulate wealth, and not be under the rule of the crown was first and foremost in the early colonists minds. Fisher rests his entire point of view based on the roots of the four British folkways that separated the settlers in America.
Those words that were used by Bush are also essential because they represent solidarity. During this period American’s want to feel like they are living in a safe country and Bush reassures them that this is true by stating: “Our military is powerful, and it’s prepared.” By saying this he lets American citizens know that their military is powerful and will protect them, thus reassuring them that if anyone tries to attack them again, the military will be prepared to
Another way that I show loyalty is by wearing the uniform of the U.S. Army. Not only am I a Cadet but a Student Athlete as well. I will come to practice and training to better my performance as well as score points for the team to participate in big events; which fall under duty. "Treating others with dignity and respect while expecting others to do the same," is what I live by. Respect is trusting that all people have done their jobs and fulfilled their duty.
Famous for its mammoth trees and the tallest known tree in Canada. The second reason is that there are shared memories help people feel connected. History & stories help people develop a collective consciousness and help them share a sense of belonging.Ex. The Storming of the Bastille & the French Revolution. Another one is that when the Japanese bombed the Pearl Harbour without them knowing it was coming, this is what makes people feel connected.
Upholding these values day-to-day is the most important role of a Soldier. Loyalty is important to the Army because it is our obligation to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. We take an oath as Soldiers which is critical to the success in order to build trust. Duty is not only fulfilling your obligations but making a continual dedicated effort to do what is right. Respect is important because society needs to have a positive perception of the Army in order for it to be successful.
Battle of the Somme The Battle of the Somme took place in 1916. But before the Canadians joined in the ill-fated operation they were engaged in local offensives, in the southern part of Ypres Salient, intended to keep the Germans occupied. At the battle of St. Eloi the second division received it's “baptism of fire” in a battlefield of water-filled mine craters and shell holes. The Canadians, wearing the new steel helmets which had just been introduced, suffered 1 373 casualties in thirteen days of confused attacks and counter-attacks over possession of six water-logged craters and the dominating land on which they sat. For the third division, the initiation to battle was even more devastation.
Embedded Assessment – What It Means To Be an American To be an American means freedom. America provides endless opportunities to be granted an education that other people living elsewhere dream of every night. It means having the right to proudly chant the Pledge of Allegiance, work wherever my heart and mind desire, standing up for what I believe in, and being able to make a vote to support those beliefs. To me, to be an American is having pride in my country, and expressing my freedom. In What is an American?
