A Quilt of a Country: Out of Many, One?

A Quilt of a Country: Out of Many, One? talks about how in America "All men are created equal", but as everyone knows, there are people out there that think they are better than others. America is a combination of many different cultures that are brought together as one nation. Some cultures don't get along which is not good for our country. Quindlen explains how when we were attacked by terrorists, our country came together to help each other out in a time of need, such as September eleventh. Now as time has passed people are going back to thinking they are better than others and racism is playing a big role.
This is a great topic to discuss because most people that live in America don't understand that the people who immigrate here work really hard to get here and they deserve an equal opportunity just like everyone else. It explains how most started by working in Ma-Pa stores and worked their way up and also that the immigrants today aren't too different from our parents. Everyone needs to work together and this country could come together to actually become one.
