Americans, do you think that our language, culture and border are important?

Question

Do you think they are worthy of defense?

Answer 1

It's been proven that our environment has a direct impact on the type of people we become. Twenty years ago when I was a teenager we didn't talk back to our parents, not withoug repercusions anyway, we didn't dress or half dress showing off our assetts, we didn't sleep with any person who happened to look our way, we had a work ethic, which means we actually worked to afford the things we wanted, mom and dad made sure of that. We were polite and respectful of other people, opening doors, letting a lady walk in front of you, saying please and thank you and sorry if need be. What has happened to the world as I new it? My theory is that there have been so many migrants from other countries bringing their own belifs and customs, rallying for their rights to be heard, slurring our American heritage in the process. My belief is this, if you want to live in our country then you will have to live with our rules, our heritage, our language. When in Rome do as the Romans. I'm not saying they cant practice what they want to practice I'm just saying don't shove it down my throat in my country. There are other countries they could be making their home besides ours. So you ask, is our culture worthy of defense? Yes, because soon it will be too late. We may not be able to reverse the damage thats been done.

Answer 2

America is not going to need any defense for language or culture, it's culture is made up with combination of all other cultures, it wouldn't be such a great country if it only has one single culture, it would be just like any other country in the world. This is the uniqueness of America, and the reason why it's desirable for all immigrants.

However, American border needs the defense, from the illegal immigrants.

Answer 3

United States.....language is a reflection of the level of unitedness we possess, it is not a matter national pride that all the members of a community should be able to freely and easily communicate it is a social necessity. This country actually did possess a culture at one point before we have buried it in political correctness. Our culture was one of assimilation and inclusion. The American dream. Anyone who doubts the necessity of a border is living in fantasy land and all they would need to be screaming for defense of it would be about a year and a half of a border-less world. If this country is to maintain its level of prosperity with any hope of a bright future we must defend and protect both border, culture, and language. If we allow these to become victims of political correctness we will become a loose association of "reservations" with nothing in common except mistrust, misunderstanding, and a paralyzed bureaucracy.

Answer 4

They are all vital.
Language is important, because a standard of language defines a nation and is an identification for the people whom use it. English should be defended, and we should not bend our will to serve those that come to this country unknowing of the language, but as a tool of integration into America. America does not join other cultures, other cultures join America.

Culture is also a very vital and vibrant part of American life. The hodge-podge of seperate traditions and mix are good to have, and define our culture of variety and tolerance. American culture is unique in itself too with those qualities, and defense of that respect for tolerance is very important.

The border is the largest issue, and I quite frankly am in favor of a militarized border on both sides. The foreign threat, is obvious. A larger issue is illegal immigration. The people whom come here illegally are breaking the law, and demonstrating to us (whom are citizens) that they respect the legitmacy (the moral and legal right to rule) of the United States government on a provisional basis. Ex: Illegal aliens will take paying jobs, will take health care, will take schooling BUT will not acknowledge the LEGAL process by which to become an American citizen.

Answer 5

What language?
The Unites States has no official language. English is only a de facto official language - it's not written into law at all.
What culture?
It is hard to argue that there is one American culture when not even mainstream media can agree on anything, let alone all of the regional, ethnic, and interest-based cubcultures that abound in this country.
Which border?
Physical border?
Canada or Mexico?
Well, if we didn't have borders, I guess we wouldn't be a separate country, would we? In that sense they are important. A border is just a politically determined line of geographical demarcation. What a border really means in a society depends on how willing people are to erect borders between cultures, between peoples, and in their minds. They can be harmful or helpful - and the U.S. could sometimes use the reminder that an influx of culture, people, and ideas from outside our borders is most often a good thing.

Answer 6

Whoa! no longer all people dislike foreign places languages, yet no longer being uncovered to them at an early age, we are at a draw back. that's harder to assessment a sparkling language while your very own language gadget, (grammar, syntax, lexicon) is extremely deeply entrenched on your innovations. Language learn prepare that 2d and third language acquisition is in a distinctive area of the mature innovations than first language. think of of the way it grew to become into while they further in the "New Math' a pair of an prolonged time in the past. Older people could no longer carry close it in any respect, together as the babies being taught it had no difficulty. Language is a similar way; that's a formalized gadget of describing the airy imagery of the innovations. people, given the possibility to assessment language at an early age, don't have to any extent further difficulty than Europeans analyzing on a similar age. That being mentioned, I even have traveled over 3 dozen foreign places countries, and can communicate some distinctive languages (with differing stages of skill), and that i've got chanced on that only approximately everywhere, I only mandatory to talk English. via fact the language of commerce, that's turning out to be greater substantial to assessment English than the different language at the instant. people may even see the will for international language study decline via fact the century strikes on.

Answer 7

Yes,I do,but illegals donot. But Most third world illegals come to the U.S. for personal economic reasons. Most do not come to cherish our democratic system. Many so called "immigration rights" groups "fan the fire" with their rhetoric which encourages immigrants to preserve their culture and language at tax payers expense. Among some of these groups, the word "assimilation" is considered xenophobic. When ultimately illegal immigrants and/or their children do become voting citizens, many vote in blocks (Mexican-American, El Salvadoran-American, Guatemalan-American, etc.), not for the good of America, but for personal economic gain usually at the expense of another group.

Answer 8

Cohesiveness provides a lot of benefits. It is how the US has managed to grow into a world power--having one language, currency, and commercial system. The European Union is beginning to mimic that now.

Interestingly, the US is fragmenting itself into failure at the same time. I can't wait until someone wants to ditch the Uniform Commercial Code, establish 15 or 20 different currencies, and set up as many new accounting systems and tax codes to boot.

How stupid can we get?

Answer 9

Yes, I do.
However, we have neighbors. Look at Europe, all though they too have immigration issues they work together - for the most part.
You don't see France building a wall to barricade them from Germany.

Mexico's government needs to have sanctions that pressure them to clean up their act!! Mexico has more natural resources per square foot than North America every dreamed of! If pressured to, they could easily sustain their people. This would solve many of our problems. However, if Mexico were financially solvent we wouldn't have cheap labor and a scape goat for every freaken problem we have!

Answer 10

Absolutely, and YES there is an American culture, English has been the primary language since our country started, the American Flag, 50's Doo Woop, 60's Muscle cars etc. all brought about by blending not IMPOSING
