My American Creed
Summary
Most days
You will find
Americans fighting,
Maliciously
Every day because of things like
Race
Inequality
Crime
Arms control
Never in agreement
Can we as a nation
Reunite as one and
Earn back
Each other's trust, respect, and love
Do we have what it takes to truly unite again and end fighting within for good?
I believe that the United States is becoming more and more divided because people are getting worse at communicating which is ultimately hurting the nation as a whole. In Ohio, people are not communicating as well because they are relying so much on technology to do it for them. Instead of talking to one another, we will text someone else to communicate with them. I think a big reason for this is the pandemic affecting our social skills and how we interact. If we lose the ability to connect with someone in real life, it becomes difficult to talk to each other about issues and solve those issues to become better as a state and even as a nation. My American creed is ultimately that to become better as a nation and stop all of the fighting and nonsense that goes on, we must communicate with each other and more importantly, we must be able to LISTEN to others who have differing opinions than our own.
