Increase of Patriotism in America
Have you noticed all the red, white, and blue everywhere you look these days? Patriotism has infected the United States in a very big way. Since the September 11th tragedy more people than ever before have contributed to the American cause. I plan to discuss how patriotism has affected the people and the merchants of the US. I also want to show how some people are taking advantage of the increase of patriotism. The article by Lisa Girard, "Anything that says American," she talks about all the different merchandise available now that in someway shows patriotism. The article by Mark Walsh, "Bill Requiring Pledge," he talks about how the Pennsylvania House pass laws after September 11th. And in my third article by an anonymous author, "A Run on Patriotism," they show basic trends of merchants. This trend seems to have started after the September 11th incident, but did it really start then or was it just at one of its
I see it as something that should have always been required by all public schools. The third article by Mark Walsh is about how the Pennsylvania House passed a bill requiring all the schools in the state to recite the pledge each day the children are in school. In conclusion, I would like to say that I see the increase as a very good long awaited thing. The second article by Lisa Girard talks about all the new items that are now on sale that proudly displays the flag in some manner. Many activist groups see this as infringement of the policy that deals with the separation of church and state. There are now Stars and Stripes on wallpaper among other things. Another company sold 17,000 flags and 12,000 flag shirts both over the Internet. I see patriotism as one of the most important things to all American people. Many companies that made such goods haven't had a boom like this since Desert Storm. Many companies who are involved in make these products are reporting record incomes for the quarter.
