We talked about American Ideals. We looked at certain American writings:
1. Give me liberty or give me death.
2. We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
3. A new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
4. Government of the people, by the people, for the people.
5. One nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
6. One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
7. In God we trust.
8. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
9. The Four Freedoms
Freedom of speech and expression
Freedom of religion
Freedom from want
Freedom from fear
10. Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.
11. Children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
