Independence. The five ideals are Rights, Opportunity, Liberty, Equality and
Democracy. With the Rights and Equality ideal, I would disagree that it has lived up to
the calculation because there are african americans, and latin americans getting
discriminated by the white americans. And they don't have the same equality as the
white americans have. Opportunity, it lies at the heart of the “American Dream”, which I
kinda agree with this ideal because some pedestrians already have that “American
Dream” and there are other pedestrians still trying to achieve that “American Dream”.
On the last ideal Democracy, I strongly agree that it is made by the power of the
pedestrians.
The document of Declaration has its own roles with respect and a better
understanding. The Civil Rights Movement was in the years of 1954 through 1968. Their
goal was to end racial discrimination to the african americans. Martin Luther King Jr was
jailed in Birmingham for non-violent protest. In the present year there are african
americans getting killed by the police officers. They didn't have the same equalities as
the white americans do. On the other hand Opportunity was where it led to the
American Dream. An economic collapse happened in the 1930s. The women and the
children were distressed by the Great Depression. The woman's wanted a better life
since the civil war. The ideal with rights was the basic conditions guaranteed to each
person. I believe the Rights ideal kinda lived up to the expectation. The Americans
wanted rights and justice for the soldiers that died during the vietnam war. They also
believed that the US had to block spread of communism in South Vietnam. Others
believed the U.S was propping up an undemocratic government to protect its own
power and rep. During the Sixties, the american youth had a very unique free spirited
attitude. The youth's saw and experienced a bunch of stuff. They saw the assassination
of the US president John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King. Also they went through the
Civil Rights protest. Youths wanted liberty in an expressive way. They would express
their disappointment with music, clothes and food. Liberty is the freedom to act without
people. I think would agree that it relies on the hands of the people. There’s two type of
democracies: direct and representative. With direct, every citizen needs to vote on an
important decision. And representative is where people elect representatives to run the
government.
In conclusion, I only see that a couple of the ideals have lived up to the
expectations. I would hope that equality would change to a better understanding and
that everyone has the same equal rights. But all of the ideals should have a better
