American Symbols!

This fabulous picture of the obese Statue of Liberty holding a large coke and an extra large burger reperesents America because Americans are so fast paced and lazy. Many Americans eat McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's and countless other fast food places daily. American's rely on fast food when they can't actually make themselves a real meal. Others are too lazy so they also rely fast food restaurants for food.  

This Ford SUV also symbolizes America because Americans rely on vehicles for transportation. Without cars, not too many Americans would leave their homes. Other countries like China and parts of Africa don't use cars too often, yet us Americans wouldn't be able to do normal daily functions without a vehicle.

This colorful display of ipods is another perfect example of something that symbolizes America. Americans are so obsessed with advancing technology. Nothing is ever "good enough" for us. Every few months big companies like Apple come out with more unique, more slick, and more advanced electronic devices to satisfy Americans.

Public Display of Affection. Sex on TV. Whatever you want to call it.. America is obsessed with it. In America today, it is socially acceptable to talk about sex and show large amounts of PDA in public. Sex is all over television, magazines and millions of movies. Sex on television is normal now. Americans crave sex scenes. My mother told me that back in the 1960's a husband and wife in t.v. shows and movies were not even allowed to show themselves sleeping in the same bed. Other cultures look down upon American culture because we allow women to wear less clothing, men and women to display sex in movies and we socially accept PDA. For example: the Indian culture does not even allow men and women to kiss in public and their women have to wear plenty of modest clothing.

FREEDOM! Thank God for freedom in America! America is known for all the freedoms we have- that's why so many different people around the world want to move to America! The United States believes it is very important to allow people freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom to petition, freedom to assemble and many other freedoms. Other countries do not allow their citizens many of these freedoms. I am so very thankful that I was born and raised in America and I get to enjoy these freedoms everyday of my life.
