Final Essay

INTRO
The America way of life has been complex for many generations that causes me to have balanced views on it. When someone asks if I can use one word to describe the American way of life, I would simply state alternative. There are many different choices to choose upon, that can either negatively affect one's life or the opposite. In Our life’s, there are always alternatives to a situation. For example, go green or don't but there would be results to either decision one makes. The decision that one makes add’s up to the American way of life. Those same decisions are what cause the American way of life to portray as good or bad. It depends on ones view. I can portray life as the best ever if I only view it through a positive view but some one else can portray life as hell and we all are like robots being told what to do. So I feel the American Way of life depends on the lens one look through.

COMPLAINING
I Enjoy the American way of life because it's my life and I want to enjoy it. In my view I know many people that complain much about life, the recession, healthcare, or their life’s in general, but I feel people need to stop complaining about the American way and take action. Complaining about it will not solve the issues that are still current. So people will need to look at life through a different view and do what they need to do.

THE GOVERNMENT
The government keeps our American way of life stabled. Many people do not agree with some of the ways but I think it's a good thing we have them because with out them, our society will be wild, no rules and structures that will help anyone for the future. The downfall of the government is that it is hard to change rules. It like respecting your elders. If you don't there will be consequences. Because of that it causes people to be skeptical about their freedom of speech because they are worried about what can happen after. Which is stupid because it is our life and we really don't have no say into how to structure the government. In order to do so, you must have much power, which isn't fair.

CAPITALISM/ECONOMICS
After leaning about capitalism and economics it made me want to start my own business. After seeing the principles about how to be successful in life, I now know to play the game right so I will. In the American way of life capitalism is what structures life in the money world. When we did this unit I had to learn much more about economics so I too college class. I never really knew about how the money world worked but since I know now, I know how to keep the cash flow coming in. Everyone sells and buys which is how we survive in America. This unit also made me be aware of how I spend my money, for example should I buy 1 roll of toilet paper or a pack of 6. I would compare the prices in the long run. In Our society many people spend money foolishly but that is how our society divides up into different social classes. If the poor were not unfortunate, there would not be jobs at McDonalds or any other job with low wages. So it shows me how every social class effects one another but it is very unfortunate how some of the richest do not help the poor. If I do become rich, one that I do have set in mind is I'm going to help those who need it because I know how it feels to be in that situation. That is how the American way of life should be like. Helping those who are unfortunate.

HEALTHCARE:
The healthcare system in our American way of life is real fucked up. Please excuse my language but there is no other way to put it in terms. They are supposed to care for the people, but everyone knows it's all about money now a days. Knowing about the healthcare systems opened my eyes and I’ve decided to really take care of myself as best as I can and not accepting any kind of medication that can later cause me to be in worst shape than before. It is much more expensive for a private doctor but it is worth it. Knowing all this information wants me to get a good job so I can have a good doctor. A way for me to have good health is by the food I eat.

FOOD
After learning about the animal cruelty and how the factories have caused air pollutions, causing many people to get sick, the process food leads to the illness many people have, and therefore the healthcares won't pay for certain illnesses. It's like a sequence, where everything affects one another. Food is a thing we need everyday but certain foods are not healthy to many. If certain foods are not healthy why do they continue to sell it? Once again this country is MONEY HUNGRY!!! It makes me upset at times knowing animals are being treated in order for us to eat, so I'm going to try to eat a different way. In order for me to get good healthcare I need to eat healthy so I won't be denied healthcare because of an illness a process food caused.

BIRTH
Since America has become industrialized, the technology in the medical world increased rapidly. So many women would have births at the hospital because they feel safe but it really isn't. I feel that authorities always keep out hidden facts from everyone. For example many people did not know c-sections makes doctors profit rise and they are the ones who cause the section. If Americans do not spread the knowledge of this crisis many woman will end up dead or never experience birth the way it is suppose to be. The birth process has lost the natural way woman are suppose to have their babies. I feel like the American way of life is starting to lose it's values that have been tradition through out the year and if people don't start acting on it now or be aware of it, it will be gone forever.

ENERGY
Since our society is based off of oil, we continue to use our resources to when there is none left. Because America is money hungry, many people do not think of the, "what can happen if we do this," question. If that were the case, they would try to find ways that can be helpful to the environment and help us live longer. Once again we have lost the value of unity. When building things, and making food in farms, it brings people together but since we have machines taking over, that unity is impossible to make. Not only that, by using all the oil there is no doubt about us running out of it. If America knows this why aren't we trying to find alternative situations so we can be prepared for it? Instead we just keep going on and it shows me how America doesn't have standards. It makes me real upset how ONCE AGAIN IT'S ABOUT MONEY! So now after writing this essay instead of saying alternative is the one word I would choose to describe the America way of life, I would now say wealth, something the American way of life lives off of.
