She also talks about the American Identity for all people, and she explains it very well.]]> 2018-05-01 13:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/256847270 avasam6928 https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/256850248 2018-05-01 13:51:47 UTC https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/256850248 avasam6928 https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/256852132 This image encompasses the American Identity because people of all different races, ethnicities,  and backgrounds are brought together in support for our country.]]> 2018-05-01 13:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/256852132 avasam6928 https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/256855167 I think this article gives a very detailed and thorough explanation of the American identity and how it came to be. It states that "The American identity belongs to a community of people sharing the same values, religious beliefs, political views, and historical memory." I think this would be a more accurate statement if the word same was changed to similar, because people don't need their views to be exactly the same to claim the American identity.]]> 2018-05-01 14:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/256855167 avasam6928 https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/258991588 I like this video because they bring up a good point about how people used to think of Americans as white males, but in this day and age that is not the case, and use Chinese Americans as an example. Although they still face some skepticism, the American identity has largely changed to let them in and that is good progress.]]> 2018-05-08 16:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/258991588 avasam6928 https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/258994090 I interpreted this as representing how the citizens of the United States of America come from many different countries and are many different races. But, when they enter the so called "melting pot" that is the USA, they all mix together and become Americans.]]> 2018-05-08 16:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/258994090 avasam6928 https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/259133587 This article contains the perspective of children on what it means to be an American. I like this because most say something along the lines of "it means you're free," which shows how from a young age we are taught that being an American means having freedom. As you grow up and start paying attention to politics, your views on this so called "freedom" can change and the answer to the question becomes uncertain and controversial, and this article is refreshing because they have such simple and pure answers.]]> 2018-05-09 02:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/259133587 avasam6928 https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/259135934 2018-05-09 02:18:35 UTC https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/259135934 avasam6928 https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/259136699 2018-05-09 02:21:03 UTC https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/259136699 avasam6928 https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/259138583 Although I agree with this article about how people can not agree on the true meaning of the American identity, I disagree the analysis that the American identity is being lost. I think that the American Identity can be perceived in different ways by different people.]]> 2018-05-09 02:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/259138583 avasam6928 https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/259139358 I like this person's perspective on how these certain events shaped the American identity, and I think they are accurate.]]> 2018-05-09 02:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/259139358 avasam6928 https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/259828688 This article is about how all American citizens deserve equality and I completely agree with that opinion and the examples used.]]> 2018-05-11 01:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/avasam6928/uvwjjhqwtvsy/wish/259828688
