What is American Spirit?

Question

What is the definition of American Spirit and how does that reverberate through American religion, culture, and socially?

Answer 1

hmm. that sounds like a homework question if I've ever heard one.

the american spirit is the ideal that you can be whatever you want to be as long as you work for it. It's the ideal of captialism and "new money" or self made wealth. This definitely permeates every part of the american culture. No matter what religion you chose to follow in america, they all end up preaching the ideal that we have the power and that God is only standing by as a security blanket.

Culturally, we dress and act and search for life paths that show our strength in individuality. We want the world to know that we are who we are and we have the power to make ourselves that way.

That slips into social structures as well. Our social system shows a strong but slim upper class that everyone wants to be a part of. We worship those in the upper class and spend hours watching TV shows about them. We read books on how to be like them and model ourselves after them.  Where other social systems believe that they are born into the cast that they will always be in, we believe that with the right training and perseverance and tallent, we will become the upper class.

Answer 4

Get rich quick schemes in the capitalist business world, (buyouts, IPOs, conglomerates, acquisitions, mergers, and the stock market), do not actually work. Remaining solvent does not actually exist within false economics capitalism.

Profit existing in the capitalist business world, or millionaires existing within capitalism, is pathological deception committed by the 21 organizations spying on the population with plain clothes agents, (with covert fake names and fake backgrounds).

Actual economics is the persons that are paying the business loans of companies voting at work in order to control the property they are paying for.

Capitalism is the psychology of imaginary parents, false economics, and the criminal deception of employees that are paying the bills (including the stocks and bonds, or shares) of companies.

Anti-Democracy republicanism is the psychology of imaginary parents, and false government.

Answer 5

The American spirit is minding your own business and making something of yourself, something that angry bitter worthless losers like j2442j simply do not comprehend.

Answer 6

When the chips are down, When the going gets tough, when the weak need a helping hand, when someone is getting bullied, Americans step up. We may not always behave perfectly, Who does?' We might enjoy our blessings a bit too much, But we Either made them, earned them with blood, sweat and tears, or Managed their growth, so many could enjoy them. We have engineered, created, formulated,tested, and realized more advances, for the betterment of the human condition than anyone else. Yes, sometimes we falter, and sometimes we dont reign in our leaders enough. We  are sometimes materialistic, that is a product of haveing many things available, But these things werent given to us by other countries. We made or nurtured them. We have helped other countries probably more than we should, and still do.  Even if we have warred with other places, we have always stepped in afterwards to aid their people. And we are lucky to have the diversity of many people from many places to enrich our Melting pot, Some of us forget, that many of our forebearers came from other places. Or that the Natives of this place sacrificed greatly to make room for the rest of us. We do need to pay more attention to our own problems, tho.  We need to become proud of our own actions again, and Make sure we have good leaders, and pay attention to how our government is run, Instead of being so complacent. The world sees us through the actions of our Leaders, and assumes, understandibly, that we all agree with the actions of these leaders, even though that is rarely the case, these days. We cannot afford a leader with a personal agenda again. We need someone who will look after what America needs, and can bring us back to the right path. We can still lead with technology, And compassion, and a generous and responsible outlook to the Planet. And The planet is becoming the priority. To think we can just keep using it up is to welcome doom. Think about who you vote for. And we still, basicly Get to speak our minds,and do as we will. That is not always the case in other places. We need to be carefull that that doesnt change.
