America. When people hear that word, what has happened, to make the United States what it is right now. They think of Freedom, rights to individual, and a right to practice your own religion. But one word that isn’t mention, that should be mention, is dishonesty. America is dishonest about their history, by glossing it over or by rewriting it.
Some Americans, and people around the world, only know the dishonest part about America, or the “glossy” part. Take for example Christopher Columbus. He was a great sailor, he found the United States of America, and was known as a good person. The thing that some people don’t know is that he was a killer. He killed natives Indians. Also, another example is the United States believed that “The Sons of Liberty” was a great group, especially what they did for their country. But did they know, AKA “a gloss over,” that they were a terrorist group. It is a shame for those people to believe in that myth
There are parts when the United States glossed up, and where people believed in it. Also another good gloss up is when they took the American Japanese citizen and put them in camps because they believed that they were spies, when they were really scared. Also when the United States went into the war in Iraq, we went in because we thought that Iraq had nuclear weapons, but they didn’t. Then the government stated that we would stay there anyway just to stabilize it. Well… look at the United States now, it is in a war with Iraq.
Although America did had some honesty in the past, and also they do say that they will learn from their past and try not do it again. But let me ask you this...Does it make up for all the lies the United States made??? Does it make the United States one hundred percent honest??? Does it show America, and Americans that they are better than the rest of the world or does it show they are like other countries that they do make mistakes, and lie sometimes???
