Paine's characterization of America is not true today (and probably wasn't back then either). Back then there was slavery. And today, there's injustice still. As an example, there's all the recent turmoil relating to the protests and police controversy.

(I think I put this under the wrong category also.)

America is United in some ways, but there are many groups that discriminate America today. Within the groups there is union, but there will always be some concord in differed opinions. There is still the hope of union throughout the world, but we have still yet to read the union in some ways.

I think that Paine’s argument can be valued as incorrect or correct depending on the situation. On a wide scale, I feel that America is fairly United. Most of us take pride in our country and are proud to say we live here, but when you individualize specific groups within America some might say otherwise. Our country is still divided in terms of race and class, so I believe America is both United and divided at the same time.

America today is completely divided, with all the diverse and different people having such differing opinions that many people never even attempt to see the other side. Many conversations between the main groups of people are almost never civil, attacking people and not their opinions, which is only exacerbated by the internet. America has gotten to the point where you are one or the other and if you’re in between your voice is very small and insignificant.

there is so much controversy in America that divides us as a union. over the past few years we’ve had many dilemmas that end up dividing us to pick one side or another. With the new generation we usually divide ourselves into different parties. causing a divided nation and one that seems like people are against each other

I believe when we talk about “there is nothing to cause riots and tumults” It is incorrect because in our country there are a lot of issues dealing with race and ways to run the country that cause riots and heated arguments. I do agree with Paine however when he describes how America is still diverse and filled with different cultures and different types of people.

I believe that Paine’s characterization was not true at the time because although America was diverse, decisions were only made by white men. His characterization is more true today though because America is more equal than it was in 1791 and the impacts from diversity are visible today making America the country Paine describes.

paines characterization of america is not applicable to america today , or ever. Although America is diverse, it is not civil nor is it peaceful. We have caused a lot of harm to countries and to innocent people and try justify it by protecting our country , which is untrue in most cases. In most cases, we are not the victims, so the descriptions that paine used to characterstic america is untrue.

America today is way too unorganized. This is because there is way too much diversity. Even though diversity might be good, it usually divides people. For example, a countries like China or Japan have very diversity and are leading the world industries at this point.

Paine’s version of America is true today because equal rights and racial diversity are encouraged in modern american culture. Today, no ethnic group faces legal disadvantages, but they might face hatred from individuals. However since the country is accepting of other ethnicities and religions,it usually isn’t a huge problem.

Pained characterization of America is mostly not true. What is true is that America is a very diverse country, characterized by multiple religious beliefs, languages, and cultures. In addition, our government is built on the principles of society and the rights of man. However, Paines belief that there is no inequality between the poor and the rich is untrue. The statement that there is nothing that causes riots and conflict is also untrue. There are many issues in our country that cause conflict, such as Black Lives Matter

In America there are many aspects where there is an obvious harmony, but outside of all factions there is much divide (similar to the avatar nations). There is much prejudice and discrimination that is present in the modern, but contrasting to the time that Paine had this article, it was severely different and harsh. This meaning that the extent that Paine wrote of is not huge in accuracy, but maybe soon America will edge closer to Paine's ideal country full of harmony and peace.

I believe Paines claim can be both untrue and true. His original claim is something America can still achieve, we are in a unique position to fix the problems that we face today. We have a government that we can change with our voices. So even though America might not have achieved to the level that paine describes we still have achieved so much, and we still have the unique opportunity to achieve much more.

Paine’s characterization doesn’t necessarily apply to todays America in my opinion. The government that was supposed to be based on the rights of man does not apply to todays society as minorities are systemically oppressed. He also states that the poor are not oppressed and the rich are not privileged, this is simply not true as the poor are victims of discrimination every day.

The text mostly doesn't apply today. But some of it is true depending on the situation. Like when it says that the poor are not oppressed, this can apply when we talk about the fact that people are trying to help and make these lives better, and their is the other side that people oppression them. When he says the rich is not privileged, well maybe this is true, although most are born rich and can be privileged because of this, their are also people who work their whole lives making this not privileged. However, the government is not just on taxes.
