Americans have watched this sport forever since it began. Americans always show there support for there favorite team. For example Yankee fans and Red Sox are hardcore fans, they loved when there team wins and they hate when there team loses. The Yankees have won 27 World Series the most in mlb history, the New York Yankees have the strongest fan support around the U.S.A. This is why the MLB symbolizes America.]]> 2018-01-30 18:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226259361 https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226259398 I feel like America is prejudice in some ways. I know we have freedom and all but some groups just feel left out and have to stand up. In a way I think America improved from sticking to trying to have an all white type of country back then to now having such a diverse group of ethnicity. Some people don’t think America is prejudice but America is prejudice at times.]]> 2018-01-30 18:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226259398 https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226259421 America is Violent. There were over 307 mass shootings in 2017. The people who are supposed to protect us are crooked and prejudice. They kill rather than protect because they’re supposedly “scared for their lives.” Our own President had launched missles shortly after elected. He has also tweeted violent tweets in response to North Korea stating, “I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!”]]> 2018-01-30 18:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226259421 https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226259553 I think the American Military represents America the most because I believe the military shows how powerful America is. America has one of the most powerful militaries in the world and I would say the most powerful people in the world. The America Military has military bases in many countries, so it shows that America has an influence all over the world.]]> 2018-01-30 18:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226259553 https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226259578 The Eagle shows a form of freedom and Americans have always fought for their freedom. Americans fought The British for their freedom and have also fought amongst themselves. in picture the Eagle is flying freely as to oppose of being in a cage or on the ground. The Eagle fights for its food and the well being of their young and American fight wars so that the young could have a great future and a great world to live in.]]> 2018-01-30 18:39:47 UTC https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226259578 https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226259933 I think this represents america because football is our nation's sport. Our team is the cowboys they were voted Americas team on october 20th 2016. Football builds teamwork and character. It shapes young men and changes lives.

I believe that guns represent America because the United States is first in crimes with a gun. An American is mostly like to die by a gun than any other country. America revolve around guns because of an amendment we have. In Texas people have one of the highest own gun. But one of the highest crime with a gun is in Chicago and by a lot.]]> 2018-01-30 18:40:26 UTC https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226259942 https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226260177 I think this represents football because football is the most watched and known sport in America. It describes America because in football you need the whole team to win a game and in America everybody needs to comes together as a team to accomplish something. In football when the team loses it takes a toll on the team and each player, same for America when something happens it’s takes a toll on the country. Also football is the greatest sport in America and America is the greatest country .

I'm saying this because of who we were back then and who we are today. We were shaped by our history, just like this beautiful bird. It flies so high just like our faith and hope. We have such high hopes that one day we will truly be free. Not by laws or regulations but by our own free will.

Throughout history America has been a symbol of freedom, for both the country's citizens, and people outside, who may be in a rough situation (Third World Countries) sometimes see America as a land to escape to, a land that has complete religious freedom, racial freedom, and laws against using the government as a platform to discriminate off of these things. From the beginning, America was created by people who came to this land under British rule and lived under a tyrannical king. Long story short they rebelled against them in a revolutionary war that birthed a nation. The Nation was built off the premise of people being the ultimate deciding factor in who gets elected, and what laws are set in place. There are negative sides to American history but along with the cons are always pros, and in the future America will be a better place that will once again be widely known as the eagle it should be known as.]]> 2018-01-30 20:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226320159 https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226363392 Barack Obama’s is a clear example of a good president and definitely the coolest president we ever had and not just because he was the first black president but what really got to me was his genuine love for sports and I feel represents what our country is in the best way]]> 2018-01-30 22:24:29 UTC https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226363392 https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226364444 2018-01-30 22:29:23 UTC https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226364444 https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226367589 I feel like sports represent America because all Americans watch sports including the Super Bowl.

Why? Because the statue is an important symbol of the U.S as it defines freedom for everyone. America had its past history of equality, rights, freedom, voting, etc. However, this symbol enlighten and guides Americans to better opportunities. It's a memory that wasn't build to remind Americans why it stands. ]]> 2018-01-31 00:16:23 UTC https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226380902 https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226381079 2018-01-31 00:17:40 UTC https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226381079 https://padlet.com/elka_finkenstein2000/xgwuybe0lmtx/wish/226381082 When most people hear the term "America" they tend to see a beautiful country full of joyous and wonderful things; WRONGGG.

The cultures of many countries have been brought over here and it gives America something that many other countries lack, diversity.

To America it represents the limitless unfolding of the human potential as free men and women to go about their lives  The Statue of Liberty is one of our great symbols of freedom and justice.
