America is a wonderful country to live in, however, it has its advantages and disadvantages. The United States continues to be one of the greatest countries in the world because of people like myself and others from many different countries who gave up their livelihood to become a US citizen by running after the American dream. There are so many quotes about America that had been said by different Presidents. I’d love to express my opinion about some of them.

I understand that a plural society should be valued because it can make worthwhile projects for the entire good. It takes patience to compromise through disagreements and try to be more understanding towards minorities and help with the decision process to make things grow in society and make it a better place. Sometimes overexposure focuses between two or three groups and it could lead to favoritism and jealousy with other groups.
