Mullen-+United+as+Americans+Reflection

Modern day America has been a country of United People. Today's society had originated from times of complete individualism. In the Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, community life changed drastically as farmers from the south migrated west. Steinbeck describes that as they migrated, the community life transformed from "I to we" as they became more of a community than ever. They had always been oppressed by people of the upper class and they had finally realized that by joining together they will have a better chance of prosperity. Today we are living in a society that gives back to the community all the time. Much community service is done on a regular basis and sports leagues have even set up foundations to give back to the less fortunate. This makes America who it is.
