Reflection+on+the+American+Voice 

I have found that Americans have a voice and they are not afraid to use it. Americans know when change is needed, and know how to take a distinct path to achieve this change: they protest and use their voice. Americans know how to demonstrate. They know how to rally together and fight for a cause they believe in. Whether they are fighting for abortion, gay marriage, racial eqaulity, women's rights, or to end a genocide, the same ideals are present. Americans are constantly working towards change by using their voices. We know as Americans that we do not have to be a well accomplished or wealthy member of society in order to use our voices. Americans have been protesting and using their voices since they were children. Americans of all ethnicities, backgrounds, jobs, and classes will come together to fight an issue they think is worth caring for. Americans know there are injustices around the world and within this very country and they know to let the government know they care about a specific issue. Americans are relentless, hard working and passionate. Americans care about using their voices. They will express themselves through singing, painting, marching, yelling, or sometimes, even staying silent to prove a point. However, no matter how the way, Americans know how to get a point across and speak their minds. In every era, in every city, and at every age, Americans have fought for what they believe in.
