How do Words, Symbols, or Rituals Express the American Creed?

How can a simple word represent ones belief on the American Creed? Everyone has a different opinion on what can represent the American Creed, it is just the way how it connects back to one.

Remembering Our Creed

This piece was written to remind us of the symbols that represent our American Creed.

Symbols for an American Creed

I talked about the symbols that signify the American Creed. I only talked about three different symbols but one of the symbols are words. I mentioned those symbols because I could relate to them the most and I could connect it back to my own American Creed.

Education and Progress

My American Creed is based on an experience I had where I met an orphan who taught me about gratitude and progress

Creed is EVERYWHERE!

American Creed is not just found in things that are "American", but everything in the U.S. has a connection to American Creed.

I can ...

My American Creed, two simple words, I can... .

My American Creed

This piece is about my American creed or what it should be at least. I go into detail explaining the consequence that may occur if change isn't made to satisfy my creed.

The Freedom to Pursue

American creed is the freedom to pursue what you would like.

Ideals in America are but luck and chance, determined by government standards.

My piece talks about the ideals of rags-to-riches and how as a country we might not be able to achieve that because of governmental standards.

Demonstrating Your American Creed By Doing Your American Deed

My Op-Ed is about ways you are able to show what your American Creed is through different forms of actions.

Be True To Yourself

We are all grated the right to be different. In a world full of people, emotions, and ways of living, individualism is what lets us express ourselves​

In a Utopia

This is my creed that I believe that everyone should also hold to themselves. I suggest that people work to create a paradigm where there is tolerance, in the least.

Credo Americano

In America, hearing the phrase “I can accomplish my dreams and whatever goal I set” sparks a lot of commotion. It is a touchy subject that not everyone agrees with. I chose to interview my mother regarding this topic, an educated, successful, Mexican American immigrant.

Our future depends on us

In my OpEd i explain and express how America gives us endless opportunities to achieve anything. We can become anyone we strive to be, it just all depends on us. We express our American creed everyday, it's apart of all of our lives.

My Beliefs on Women Equality

My topic is about how women equality is something that women strive to have but haven't yet accomplished. In this country that we are living in men have a bigger say in what happens to women.

What We Used To Be. What We Can Still Be.

I wrote about what my American Creed was and what I thought needs to be done in America. Most of these ideals I learned about when I was writing this OpEd and some of them are things that I have learned as I live my life.

What it means to be an American

People should be able to choose how they live their lives

Everyone should be treated with the same equality and respect!

My creed is that everyone should be treated with the same equality and respect so that we all have the same possibilities to achieve our own American dream. I see this problem most in schools dealing with minorities.

My Op-Ed is about being different to others and trying to be the person you are and not being afraid of showing it. I want to believe that people can believe that they can make a difference instead of following other people's advice.
