This video shows that there are many diverse people in the United States and being an American means many different cultures and people coming together in one country.

This article was very interesting because it surveyed 8,000 people and most people believe that America is based on what you believe not who you are. I agree with this statement and believe that it doesn't matter where you came from it's our belief system that makes America the country that it is.

I think this picture gives a good explanation because being an American means so many of the words expressed in it. I especially think that the words "freedom" and "choice" are important because we as Americans have both of these.

This may be the textbook definition of American but everyone in the United States has their own definition. For example some people may agree with this and say to be an American means to have a democracy and be able to vote for the president but others may say their definition is to have freedom and rights.
