At times I wouldn't blame them if they were to think this in any way but I am going to have to say that have a little faith in us. What we do cane either make or break America. My responsibility is to be able to demonstrate to others that it is not a bad thing to have ambition and strive for the best in whatever it is we want to pursue. Everything we want to do or be starts with education. Even though Education can be very tedious and at moments seem extremely difficult we just need to get through it, after all education is not something meant to be easy because then it is not education and we are not learning anything, the goal is to learn, comprehend as much information and apply that to the world we live in.
Dalton is afraid that Americans are blinded from reality because they are given false hope of achieving the American Dream. Despite Brooks and Daltons polar approaches in viewing the American Dream, the idea within both arguments can be similar. Brooks’ view of time differs from Dalton’s in which Brooks’ view of the American Dream is from the vantage point of the future, while Dalton is concerned with the issues in America today. Dalton believes that it is impossible to eventually reach the American Dream because of issues like racism and social class. He thinks that it is impossible to progress with the ideas of racism and social class, and that we can’t move forward until these issues are neutralized.
Krikorian presents a good argument and has done his homework. The author seems to respect patriotism and feels we have a greater obligation to our citizens than foreigners. Krikorian speaks of a country we once were when our grandparents came to America but not that same country now. He argues our immigration laws need to be shaped to improve the United States along with the government enforcing more stringent immigration laws. This would shrink the illegal population and life for American workers would improve.
Additionally, the low level of participation replicates that only white, male property owners were able to cast their vote. Today, Americans’ experience a moderate level of both contestation and participation emulating that only two political parties vie for government control and that not nearly all eligible voters participate in elections. The moderate level of contestation that Americans’ experience today is in comparison to the other levels of contestation around the world. Take for example a dictatorship. This would exemplify an extremely low level of contestation because virtually one person would be competing for government control.
Because American culture is based on people’s desire to succeed at all cost, this negatively affects their values. A negative effect on integrity, morality, and ethics means contempt of these three concepts. Ethics are society’s normal view of morals, morals are spoken beliefs about what is right and wrong, and integrity of an individual’s ability to uphold these standards of morality and ethics. However, American society is focused on winning at all cost and this sometimes displaces a person’s integrity, morals and ethics. Americans do not care about have integrity as long as they win.
Good leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and willpower, you can become an effective leader. To inspire your workers into higher levels of teamwork, there are certain things you must be, know, and, do. These do not come naturally, but are acquired through hard work.

On one side, people can improve their English Language, get a diploma, change professions, or improve careers. On the other hand, discipline, especially, in the public schools of the U.S. is a problem, and should be improved because poor discipline cannot prepare students to continue their education.

Taking control of my choices and not being a victim of the change life is going to throw at me is another role that is important on my way to success. If l let life get me off course I am going to have a hard time getting focused and getting back on track so it is best for me and others to avoid it before it happens. Also having a good self-image will help me understand my self even more. If I know what is going on inside the world and out, it will help me to stay on course and on a good road to success. Another thing would be to know how to understand my tolerance for risk and how to push past barriers and other obstacles that will be in my path to success.
This was the perfect habit to introduce the rest because it showed the reader Covey’s direction from the beginning. I feel like this habit will prove to help me personally because I tend to show indecision in my actions at times. I now realize that because my actions tend to be rational in nature, I should take initiative sooner than later. Indecision in business shows weakness and a lack of knowledge, so taking initiative not only makes things easier, but it also demonstrates confidence in leadership. Leadership requires planning, and making goals ahead of time is important for success.
Some of them are encouraged by friends and ridiculously thinking they won’t get caught. Such misunderstandings are acting as a catalyst of cyberbullying and even worsen it.

People have an overly high sense of self protecting and seek for conformity. Nowadays, people mainly uphold negative thinking and seldom appreciate others.
