What Makes YOU 'American'?

The answer is obvious; if you were born here, or if you live here, you are qualified. But the answer is alleged

Catherine Round coach and Ben Steel made short video through the guardian, mainly in Dialborn, Michigan. They provide five different stories of city life, each trying to define an American identity. Dearborn is particularly interested in how to deal with this problem; it is the largest Arab American population and home of the largest mosque in the United States. Also, the poor people are absolutely white

Not surprisingly, the documentary began shortly after the beginning of the term of office of President Trump; the contrast between the five is mainly about how the position of the president affects them. For women like Sarah and Suehaila, it is almost common for the community to feel unacceptable. As a child of immigrants Sara expressed appreciation for deepening the experience of immigration in the United States. Her parents fought in Lebanon to lead a better life, but given the fact that she just graduated from law school, it was clear that this attempt was successful. She proudly claims her American identity; according to the definition above, she was born here. But she pointed out that Muslims are now experiencing mental repression here. They are not allowed to become free.

As an immigrant's own child, it is difficult to see her story declined and invalidated by other sounds of the documentary. They "overwhelm" those Muslims and admit that they are potential threats. Conservative citizens such as Bob Dutko have a disagreement with fierce opinions with Islam and explain violence as being unique to religion. Another citizen, Rob, responded to a statement saying that people who are not fit for abroad are people who live "American life". He insists that his loyalty to playing cards is discrimination against him, and he wants to exist because it is "designed like".

He insists that the "designing" by the United States is a special way and not captured too far. History proved systematization of white privileges. In our rates of incarceration, wage margin or employment opportunities, we will continue to ensure that White Life has greater value. For Dutko and Rob, the President began to worry that the United States needed a single story

This documentary is very difficult. The fear of history has become our current established part. But it ended with a mass protest montage against the idea that the United States must conform to a specific pattern. Michigan, Dearborn is a snapshot of a bigger conversation; immigrants should not prove that they are Americans. The idea that Americans have a single race, religion or class is clearly dominant, as the film prove, it is dangerous. For women like Sarah, Suehaila and myself, the need to improve this prototype is more urgent than ever.

It is easy to become an American. You are born. Through almost anything, language, culture, and making you an American, you are an American. In order to become a US citizen, in a utmost sense, you must understand and accept citizenship obligations and rights freely. Loving the United States is simple and natural. Loving the United States is complicated and artificial. This is not a problem only in the United States, but language problems are the most attractive. Let's think of the Soviet Union and its constituent countries rather than the French Republic, or France

America and the Soviet Union entered the Cold War. This includes the war between Korea and Vietnam. In the meantime, African-Americans, Chikano, and women are seeking more rights. In the 1970s and 1980s, the US began to produce fewer things at the factory. Then, the country experienced the worst recession since the Great Depression. In the late 1980s, the end of the Cold War helped out of the recession of the United States. The Middle East has become more important in American foreign policy, especially after the attack on 11th September 2001.

Hispanics and Africans are two major subcultures of American culture. African Americans are characterized by their color discrimination or planned illiteracy. African Americans make up 15.25% of the population, but Hispanics account for 20.07% of the population. Both subcultures survive and grow with time and can be compared based on the importance of family units (Zenia, 2004). Both are becoming increasingly inclined to health problems. It is an indicator of their current concern about education and starting a modern career.
