John+Power+Reflection

American have tremendous patriotism, freedoms, and possessions. While there are many people who have the same dream, those who seem the happiest think that being an American is to support others and prepare future generations to protect the investments they have made. America’s power can be good or bad, but when it is combined with prejudice, self- absorption, and self-delusion, it can be harmful. We can guide our power in the right direction by overcoming our self-delusion to address our prejudice and self-absorption. America’s presence in the world has created great responsibility. Each American has the responsibility to represent our country positively and respect other nations. This year, we did not have any readings on international relations, although I think social pluralism between other nations is important since we are the most powerful country in the world. Being an American should be a great honor because all Americans have many more freedoms and our international responsibilities than people in a lot of other countries.
