The term American has a great deal of weight as well as reward. With political strife among parties and division among the American people, being an American to some may seem troubling. The history and freedoms of the people in American never die dim of crucial and motivational for those who appreciate them. Perceptions of what it means to be American vary throughout the world in our age, but the values that true Americans hold stay consistent with the ideas and beliefs on which American was founded. A real American is one who stands up for what is right in the eyes of humanity and constitutional law. It takes a patriotic and caring person to stand up for their country, the realization of what is truly important in our society is what helps bring people closer together. Morally an American should be able to respect those they are surrounded by no matter the background, to treat everyone equally according to a biblical foundation. The freedoms and everything fought for in America came to possession only by the grace and will of God. To express those freedoms should be in accordance to how God intended them to be practiced. There are ideals that shape someone towards being a real American, working hard, respecting people, following the law, fighting for change, and many more.

Despite political division in parties which shape our system, A true American should be able to respect yet challenge beliefs that another might hold without being ridiculed for doing so. Too many discussions today are about how to limit people from saying what they want to say. There have been too many attempts to silence those who are speaking up about their rights being fought for in a governmental and social setting. Instead of coming together Americans across the country are growing further apart. This kind of behavior shows that some people aren't respectful or appreciative of the liberties this country offers, instead would like to change and reform the very laws and freedoms that made our country once great. The documents constructed to hold our country together stem from an understanding of biblical principles which drive a country towards enjoying Gods freedoms and liberties as one people in a land which was fought for. One can only hope that the people who run our country and govern the people would embody the same principles and ideals that push people towards coming together to make a better future for generations to come. 

Americans are people who are hopeful. People that hold onto what is right and true in times of affliction. Americans are also people that strive towards a dream. Getting up everyday working towards a goal and contributing to society in any way they can. Americans don't wait around for someone to save them from the troubles of the world around them, they make change and lock arms with people nearby in a journey to create something new that will benefit more then themselves, but an entire people.
