The Pledge of Allegiance

Religion

            The Pledge of Allegiance is a very controversial document due to the fact that not everybody wants to pledge to the flag because they are not from this country. This is especially seen in classrooms in the United States of America where we see teachers who make their students stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance. Teachers make it mandatory because they believe that if you live in this country then you have to stand for the pledge no matter what your religion is or what you believe in. Is this right? Should teachers make students stand for the pledge even if it is against their religion or what they believe in? My reaction to this is that I believe that if you live in America then you have to follow the American way of life. You already have enough freedom to do what you need to do and do what you need to worship. But the pledge is different, it shows respect and if you don’t stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance you are showing no respect for America and you are not following the American way of life. Everybody needs to stand for the pledge no matter what they believe in because it is the right thing to do.

            The purpose of this work is to show the controversial issue that the Pledge of Allegiance presents in the classroom throughout the United States of America. The question whether or not student should have to stand for the pledge is a very big topic trending in the world. Also the question of the words of the Pledge of Allegiance raises much controversy. The phrase “one nation under god” is very controversial because some people do not believe in good because they think that he is fake or that they believe in another higher power that they worship from their country’s beliefs. The specific techniques used to achieve this purpose is the picture of the Statue of Liberty. This statue represents power of the American people as one country all standing strong together. It is a sign that America will never fall. This statue shows power and it is one of the great iconic figures in this world. The overall effect of this work is to show you that the pledge is a sign of respect to America and as long as you are living in this country then you have to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

            Our depictions of the future reveal that the present allows you to make your own choices and you have a lot more lee way now than you may have in the future. Now if you refuse to stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance the worst that may happen to you is that you get suspended. But who knows in the future if you refuse to stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance you might be killed or face severe consequences. Greater penalties and punishments will come to life in the future as the new technology gets more advanced because if technology is advancing then the rules and obligations also have to increase and become harsher so the technology doesn’t out due to the rules and order in the society.
