Adam, an Engineer who was born and raised in Ohio and now travels around the world and blogs on Happiness Plunge, recently wrote an excellent blog post about the confusion around people in the United States calling themselves American, ignoring the fact that everyone in North and South America considers themselves Americans.
Read the blog post here then respond to one of the following Hot Tamale Activities
- Summarize Adam's thoughts. Explain in your own words where you think he's coming from. Copy and paste a quote out of the blog post that best illustrates the problem with people in the United States referring to themselves as Americans.
- Write a response/comment to Adam's post. Do you agree? Disagree? Did his post change the way you think about the term American? After you comment, copy and paste what you wrote in an email to bordner@cityhigh.org
- After reading the post, will you continue to use the term American to describe people in the United States? What other terms can you use?
There was this Interesting man named Adam, who is an engineer traveling around the world to make blogs. One of his successful blogs he made recently was explaining the topic on how people that live in the U.S. are just claiming that they are Americans. But when actually society is igroniring the fact that other country's like North, and South America society claims to be Americans. I actually agree what Adam has to say about this. We must address this problem as humans to not create such confusing among other Courtney and Sex/race.
