    I find that America cannot be easily defined into one role. In my opinion America is most closely defined by its limitless possibilities. America is one of the few countries that allows its citizens to be truly independent and choose their own destiny.

    In my opinion, America would be defined as fifty states united to form a nation with democracy in order to protect its people's natural and civil rights. America can be characterized with diversity and opportunities. Moreover, America has rapidly grown since its birth to become one of the world power.

    I think that individualism defines America. As a country we are all entitled to our own individual rights and freedoms, and these rights "supposedly" cant be taken away.

    In my opinion, America is defined as the leading superpower at this point. Therefore, I believe that America is defined by political power.

    America is defined by the spirit of the people who live in this country. Because they are tenacious and committed to the ideals of liberty and justice, America has become a great nation. The country is made great by the greatness of the people.

    In my opinion freedom and the ability to express yourself is what truly defines America. We are able to have a system where people are free to believe what they want and share those beliefs, but have a structured system as well and that is what has helped America obtain the reputation it has today.

    America, in my opinion, is a place where everyone has a chance to succeed in life. Any citizen receives the freedom to do whatever he/she please while still following the laws. America is a county socially and intellectually free.

    In my opinion, freedom truly defines America. A persons right to have freedom is an extremely valuable instrument that must be used wisely with good intentions. It gives us opportunities to speak, vote and live the way we wish.

    In my opinion America is truly defined by hard work and perseverance . In American History the country has had many hardships like the Revolutionary war, the Civil war, 9/11, etc. Every time our country is put in a difficult situation we work hard and never give up and eventually because of this we become a stronger country.

    Personally, I believe that opportunity truly defines America. America has been dubbed “The Land of Opportunity” and there are endless opportunities in America from employment to enjoyment. Historically, large amounts of people have immigrated to America as a result of the opportunities available, even in tough economic conditions like today.

    In my opinion, what truly defines America is the people within it. The laws created to protect and keep order among the people, define America as well.I also feel like America is defined by the loyalty and patriotism of its people.

    In my opinion, choices defines America. The options that we have really makes us who we are. The fact that we can choose to do whatever we want and work up from nothing to something makes us America.

    Standard of living, thanks primarily to our free market economy any comforts of modern life are readily accessible.

    Pursuit of happiness,liberty, and property, the ideals created by political philosophers of the eighteenth century and those which are stated in the Declaration of Independence.

    The Bill of Rights, the document that grants us citizens many freedoms that were not standard 200 years ago.

    In my opinion,what really defines America is the people who dream to have a better future,and always wants the best for the country. The statue of liberty is a great object that now and in the past became really significant it showed that
    America is the country of liberty,the eagle is an animal that is very strong and big,so it also becomes a great symbol for America, because it shows how strong America is, so in conclusion America is strong with dreams, for a better future for the people.

    In my opinion America is defined as freedom and liberty. From the beginning America has stood for freedom and liberty. As a country now that is what we stand for

    I think what America defines is the indefinability America's.
    All the cultures and people that share this country play their own special harmony, minor and major sometimes at the tame.
    You can't find a definition that suits to all the cultures.

    America, in my opinion, is defined by all the people that live in it. It is filled with unique people who are diverse in their lifestyle, making different opportunities for themselves. America has allowed people to express freely, yet come together as one nation.

    America is freedom, freedom of press, liberty, religion and rights. Immigrants come to America to have freedom and be equal to one another. The American Dream helps supports this to be true, our country is one that treats each other equal and guides others to try and do the right thing.

    Personally I think America is defined by the freedom to be as good or better than any others around you regardless of where you begin. America gives the minority equal opportunity to achieve success in wealth and social status. America completes the idea that everyone is entitled with certain inalienable rights, most importantly to me is the freedom to pursue happiness.
