A Nation of Grinders by David Brooks

Booker T. Washington reminded me that "the scale of success depends not only on the status people achieve in their lives but also to overcome obstacles" (Washington). Washington firmly believes that success is defined by lifelong persistence and achievement. It directly supports the idea of ​​David Brooks that success results from good professional ethics and perseverance, as evidenced by his article "A Grinding Country". Speakers represented by philosophy and saints will protect spectators of ordinary American citizens for prosperity.

According to my survey, the author David Brooks is a Republican. The view of David Brooke is influenced by conservatives as a political socialization. He is conservative. Conservatives believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free market, personal freedom, traditional American values, and strong national defense. They believe that the role of the government should be to provide people with the freedom they need to pursue their goals. Conservative policies emphasize giving individuals authority to solve problems. All these reasons are the conservative reasons of David Brooks. Because this is what he obeys and what he likes, he is influenced by these political socialization. In addition, he teaches at Yale University, and the school has lots of conservative students and workers, so his view is influenced by American culture / current affairs issues.

In his recent "New York Times" column "use of patriotism", David Brooks accused high school football players not protesting against racial discrimination due to the national anthem. Brooks quotes that American research pioneer Perimira believes patriotic self-criticism and radical hope rather than abstention is the basis of America's values. It is through these cooperative ideas that the United States integrated into one country. Therefore, he concluded that all Americans are responsible for participating in patriotic ceremonies as they tied us alone in the country.
