Do you support imperialism for your country? Explain.

I do not support imperalism for our country. Even though we may be able to get more supplies, better our country and expand ourselves i do not support it. I wouldn't support imperalism for most countrys. I believe countries should expand themselves before jumping to overthrow another country. Imperalism causes nothing but hatred, war and doesn't help the world create much needed peace. I believe America is good as is. There are many countries that are way worse off then we are. We have most of the supplies and other things needed. We shouldn't become greedy. Instead of trying to take over smaller, weaker countries we should be looking to help those countries. The countries that actually need help. We could expand with them and help them, they could even have things America would need. We shouldn't go to war just for simple products and resources which is what imperalism would cause The only reason we should go to war is to for freedom.

Do you think an indivdual today can rise from "rags to riches" like Andrew Carneige did? Why or why not?

Yes, I believe an individual can rise from "rag to riches" like Andrew Carneige did. It would be hard work and some people may fail at trying to do this but many can. It all depends on what you're selling, making or what kind of factory or store you're running. It depends on the merchandise and money put in it. Andrew Carneige rised from "rags to riches" through hard work, earning money and working for the right people. He progressed up the ranks of his job and eventually went out on his own and opened his own factory. From then on he rised from "rise to riches". A individual today can still do this, rising up the ranks like Andrew Carneige did and eventually opening up his own factory. I believe if you take the same steps Andrew Carneige did you can rise for rags to riches. Anyone can try this but few would probably succeed. It's a hard task but many people can do it, rising from rags to riches.

In your opinion what made the declaration of indepence successful and/or a failure?

In my opinion the declaration of indepence was successful. The declaration of indepence brings togheter our country and makes our government a well rounded one. The declaration of indepence set America free from other colonies and let us be a colony run by the people.

My favorite part of the declaration of indepence is the Declaration of natural rights. "..it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government...". It is our right to abolish the government if we feel as though they are not allowing us our rights or protecting our rights. I believe this part of the Declaration of indepence made it the most successful because it is stating the rights of the people. We are all independent and free because of the Declaraion of independence. But I believe we are only free from other countries, we are still controlled by the government in my opinion. Therefore we are not truly free.
