“For alongside our famous individualism, there's another ingredient in the American saga. A belief that we are connected as one people. If there's a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read, that matters to me, even if it's not my child. If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for her prescription and has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it's not my grandmother. If there's an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties. It's that fundamental belief? I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper? That makes this country work. It's what allows us to pursue our individual dreams, yet still come together as a single American family. "E pluribus Unum." Out of many, one.” Barack Obama
Response:
The DNC convention speech in 2004 was indicated to suggest American to pick John Kerry as a democratic candidate. Alternatively he attracted the audience and announce himself to everybody. The fundamental idea of this type of speech was that each person in America is really treated fairly. Also the people who migrate the United States which comes from a totally different culture should be treated and obtain the same rights as everyone else. Everybody should be treated equally no matter where the person is coming from. The reason why I chose this passage I found it very interesting to me. Plenty of people are in this current situation. Theres a lot of discrimination and that is the main reason why not everybody is treated equally. Obama perceive that the economic system can get better and from there this can lead the people to have a better life. But we need the support from the government in order for that particular progress. Some people are selfish they don't care about others, as long as they are receiving the benefits they don't complain. But that need to change because If we contribute little by little we can remedy the situation to have a better world.
