America The Beautiful

identification In life, a soulfulness with clean-livings is usually very honorable and has high values and strong ghostly beliefs. These people know even off from wrong and prefer to do what they retrieve is justifiedly in all given situation. This is what morality is, having the knowledge to know right from wrong. In Dry. Ben Carbons the States the Beautiful, he states that this nation, The United States of America, was founded with the concept of morality in mind. He in addition arrives at many nonable points concerning the concept of morality inAmerican Society and History. These points accept decisions based on status, bondage, the treating of immigrants, and family values and education. When it comes to making decisions based on status, such as race, income, age, gender, I say there are some morally acceptable and immoral areas. To me, it would obviously be considered immoral to differentiate the function and privileges of a person based on their race as I belie ve everyone should be treated equally. Also, a persons income should not affect the fibre of services he or she receives such as deiced wangle.In a hospital, the care given too patient should not be based on how much money they make. I do not think it would be very moral to do this. In American society, women and children are valued more than they are in any other nation. I think this is moral and necessary in America because children and women are vital to the increase of our nation. Slavery was probably the darkest point in the history of the world, especially America, which was among the coating nations to abolish it. As Dry. Carson says in the kook, this is because of the economic success that it brought.Although the slave owners knew that what they were doing was morally unsufferable, they continued to use slaves for their economic gain. I think this was horrible. A person that thinks that they can own another human being and do some(prenominal) they want to them is an e xtremely immoral person. These people thought that the ledger gave them a stamp of approval because it admonishes slaves to be obedient to their masters, as Dry. Carson says. I think this was no excuse and no matter how you look at it, slavery was he most immoral time in America in my opinion.Even after we abolished slavery, America was still riddled with racism and inequality to African Americans in the form of exploiting labor by former slaves, Jim Crow laws, disastrous beatings, and lynchings. Another form of immoral inequality in America that has belatedly been going on is the unfair treating of immigrants. When this nation was founded, it was supposed to be a welcome place to anyone who wished to become a citizen. In America, we choose to seize advantage of the labor of illegal immigrants but deny them thespians.Why is it so unacceptable for these immigrants to become citizens? I think we greatly need to rethink the expression we are treating these people because the reali ty is, as Dry. Carson says in the book, some segments of our providence would collapse without these workers. When this nation was founded, it was founded with a strong importance put on founding fathers. As Dry. Carson said, this nation thrived because of the strong emphasis placed on traditional family values and the instruction on the difference between right and wrong.This included the use of the Bible and basic religious principles and teachings in school. In our society today, many people prefer not to follow the principles and moral teachings of the Bible and go by their own moral beliefs which do not agree with the Bibles teachings when it comes to premarital sex, homosexuality, gambling, the use of drugs, and other social aspects, but do agree with its teachings when it comes to murder, lying cheating, and theft. Many of the aspects of our society that were looked down upon in the prehistorical are normal now inAmerica. Although I believe that we should use religious mora ls in America, I have no problem with the commissioning that we are going as a nation. I do not believe that this is a better direction for society than the past religious belief based moral society. However, I think we should implement many of the teachings from the Bible back into society as it provides us with a better ascertain for a more prosperous nation. Bibliography Carson, Ben.
