An American is anyone born on the American continent, be it North or South who cares for true freedom, and the rights of the individual. I care just as much for the Mexican child as I do for the Californian, or the one from Peru. However, it is also being able to see that sometimes the rights of the individual can have disastrous affects on the group as a whole, such as allowing a child to purchase a gun without common sense rules in place.

I believe it is the ability to respect yourself, your dreams, your values, and to be able to live amongst and interact with people that are different while still remaining true to who you are. We sacrifice the all sharing the same energy, but also being limited to that energy, for freedom to be what we want and tolerance of others being what they want. It's an experiment, and I can say as a whole its the most interesting country to live in and travel through.

A American, what is it. If a person was born in Cuba, they are Cubans. In America, being born here, you are automatically the American. Others who immigrated here are really not a American until they become a legal American immigrant by testing and asking to become a American citizen. Pledging allegiance to accept the Constitution and all laws then you are a citizen of the United States. You are a American immigrant and your children that you bear are automatically Americans. Slaves were brought here from many countries , not just one nation or Continent. Some seem to classify another race as Americans and attach that to the children born here. Not the correct decision. You may have a different color , religion, or creed which is a personal difference and that is accepted. Any other attachment to a birth and creed of another nation is not and should not be attached to the word American. I was born here , served this nation due to my obligation to defend it for many reasons that the rest of the people that reside in this great nation so that freedoms shall be enjoyed by all within the laws of this nation. My ancestors are from here and other foreign nations. I do not attach any other nation to my nationality nor should you. Be happy to be here no matter what the reasons. Don't ask for things you are not equally expected to receive. Get in line with the rest of the Americans. Serve this nation with pride and respect.

What makes an American? That’s easy, anyone born in the American continent. Meaning everyone born from the southernmost point in Chile to the northernmost point in Canada. So to all my Brazilian, Costa Rican And Canadian sisters and hermanos we’re all Americans, don’t ever let anyone take that away from you. from a Peruvian, peace and love.

I live around a lot of people from SOuth America and they call themselves by their country not by the continent. Same for Canadians and Mexicans.

Canadian here. After a recent visit to the states (a southern region mind you) and then returning home after, a couple things stuck out. 1. Americans are generally nicer and more respectful to each other than Canadians are - like they all respect the fact that they are Americans and stand behind their flag to view each other equally. 2. Our big cities are quite similar and one could easily think you're in the US when in fact you're not...save for 3. In Canada we have universal health coverage and less gun ownership and crime, leading me to feel a lot safer and more "spoiled" here in Canada. We're the same people, but I think Canadians have access to better social resources than US citizens, and I'm starting to think that we take it for granted and forget that we have to still be neighbourly to each other. Canadians can be snobbish if you don't serve their own interests. I pretty much view Canada like a huge US gated community, ha.

No opinion is wrong but no opinion is right, but for someone that's been to Canada and Mexico, I've haven't been around the world as far as the borders touch... I learned different cultures and ideals from the Internet. That is a little backstory from a US citizen trying to make it in my world. What makes a great US citizen is not that easy, we are all made to have different ideas that is impossible for us to coexist as one entity. Maybe we lack understanding because we are not program to accept everyone's beliefs and practices at once. So I don't know what makes a good American but I do know what makes a great human being. If you are reading this no matter where you are from I hope you have a beautiful day and live a prosperous life. Love from, Your fellow brother.
