American
ideals consist that everyone is entitle to receive equal opportunity to be
successful in this country. An American
ideal boils down to ideology. For
example if you are a Democrat you may favor Labor Unions, affirmative action
and Plan Parenthood compare to Republican ideology in which you may favor less
government and a strong military. No
matter what your ideology is some people unfortunately are held back for a
number of reasons to be successful. It
can be your sex gender, color of your skin or your religious beliefs just to
name a few. Our philosophy should be a
combination between the two ideologies because there are so many different
backgrounds, cultural and ethnicities which makes our country so great. One example would be to maintain a strong
military presence in the world while we continue to invest more into our
educational programs without discrimination.
A better education equals a great career, while a strong military will
keep us safe from international threats.
However in order to be strong internationally we have to be strong
domestically.
The problem today is our financial sector in this country still remains
predatory in nature. Greed has become
the “new” ideology. We can take a look at the “Occupy Wall Street” a group of
protesters who believe it is not right for the top 1 percent to control 99
percent of the wealth in this country.
This is the land of opportunity, freedom and justice for all, not the
land to take advantage of people; clear out their 401K account then lay off
hardworking employees to ship their job overseas to gain more profit on cheap
labor. Our next president should be able
to combine both ideologies to make our country whole again.
