Beautiful Hues of America

By: Nuha Hasan

Imagine a beautiful, colorful garden with every type of flower, attracting many different kinds of animals. One flower might attract a humming bird; another might attract a honey bee, or even a butterfly. Either way, they all depend on one another for their respective necessities. If they were all similar, then they wouldn’t be able to produce and benefit one another through their various roles. This is what ensures their survival that they provide for one another through their special variations. This demonstrates a beautiful assortment with an endless variety.

This is the perfect illustration of America and why it’s the most powerful country in the world. The diversity in America is a great blessing. However, some people of this great country may not be mindful of this reality.

If you take a look around, you’ll notice many different faces. Different religions, races, and cultures are what make America so unique. We all come from immigrants who traveled to this nation seeking freedom and opportunity in their lives and for their offspring. Therefore, our society became a melting pot of different races and religions. This is the factor that has caused even more people from other countries to migrate here to this day. That is the reason why it’s extremely upsetting when certain people are attacked just because of who they are, what they look like, or what they believe. It’s a depressing fact that much oppression has been caused all over the world and people’s lives have been destroyed merely because of this ignorance. This problem stems from people being afraid of what they don’t know or understand. One shouldn’t be so quick to make rash judgments on others, especially when little or nothing is known about them.
