Their values, institutions, and culture provided the foundation for and shaped the development of the United States." Huntington says that the US creed included "the English language; Christianity; religious commitment; English concepts of the rule of law, including the responsibility of rulers and the rights of individuals; and dissenting Protestant values of individualism, the work ethic, and the belief that humans have the ability and the duty to try to create a heaven on earth, a 'city on a hill.'"
Unless Hispanics integrate, or Hispanic immigration is reduced, Huntington says that the US risks creating a permanent, second-class subgroup. Huntington's critics reply that he outlined a potential problem, but offers no solution other than implicitly arguing that migration should be reduced.
The "challenge to America's traditional identity," according to Huntington, "comes from the immense and continuing immigration from Latin America, especially from Mexico.".
Harvard political scientist Samuel P. Huntington in the 1990s developed a "clash of civilizations" theory under which future international conflicts were expected to arise from cultural rather than ideological, national or class disputes- he identified eight morally and politically incompatible civilizations.
Huntington says that six factors make Mexican migration to the US unique: proximity to homeland, size and persistence of migration, the problem of the undocumented, regional concentration and the historical presence of Mexicans in the Southwest. These factors, he says, contribute to the unwillingness of Mexicans to integrate.
A narrative of how my immigrant mother overcame hardships to become American, relating to Gone with the Wind and the Great Gatsby, defining what American Creed is, defined by those whom belong to it.
I believe that the American Creed means that we have a duty as Americans to fight to defend the core values the Founding Fathers instilled in the Constitution, but more importantly, we must respect one another.
A letter addressing the immigration ban and how it affects our American values.
What are the values that we share as Americans? Freedom, equality, and justice are the big three core values that Americans share. We have shared these values since America’s founding. This doesn’t mean that these values were always there for everyone.
There is a reason that the amendment that protects freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion is the First Amendment. It was put in front because of its importance. The values of freedom of religion, speech, press, and peaceful assembly are all extremely important values for every country.
The Declaration of Independence says that "all Men are created equal". Looking at the treatment of minorities during and after of which it was written, that statement says otherwise.

Not just the rich or the poor, not just people of one race or one creed, but all the people - the people to which the Declaration of Independence refers when it says: "All men are created equal ."-not equally gifted or equally rich, but equal under law.
Still another ancestor, John Tyler , was the tenth president of the United States. William Tyler Page had come to Washington at the age of thirteen to serve as a Capitol Page. William Tyler Page began his government career as a Congressional page in December of 1881.
The United States of America -that's the name of our country, given it by the men who founded it. United, the people of America have worked to give it its present high standards of living. United, we can go on to even greater prosperity and happiness.
America is your country - her soil feeds you, her laws protect you and give you "the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." America deserves your love. America has a right to expect you to express that love in your deeds, in the way in which you train yourself for American citizenship.
It was with American Politics: The Promise of Disharmony (1981) that Huntington first displayed his interest in the question of ethnicity and national identity. Huntington maintained that there was a distinct American creed based on the Protestant ethic, natural rights, and equality.
Thus Huntington's intellectual odyssey is not just a story of how one of America's leading foreign policy thinkers has repudiated the democratic universalism he once espoused.
Debunkers view the post-Cold War era with apprehension and gloom. Far from believing that the end of the Cold War will usher in a new golden age of American foreign policy, debunkers insist that America should avoid foreign entanglements with a world now riven by ethnic conflict.
The first school consists of what we might call triumphalists. Triumphalists argue that America has an obligation to democratize the world. For them the successful conclusion of the Cold War validates a Wilsonian approach to spreading democracy-a core tenet of the Clinton administration's foreign policy.
The Clash of Civilizations is brilliant, provocative, and utterly unconvincing. Like so many previous efforts to devise grand theories of history and politics-from Spengler to Toynbee to Fukuyama-Huntington's collapses under the weight of its own assumptions. In fact Huntington's form of theorizing suffers from its own kind of malady. Though he stresses that he has written a popular book rather than a political science text, The Clash can be properly understood only in the context of conservative realist and neorealist theory.
Had Huntington considered the work of Adam Watson, a prominent British theorist of international relations, he might have pondered the notion of a society of states. Watson has written what is probably one of the most brilliant texts on international politics, The Evolution of International Society.
Though he stresses that he has written a popular book rather than a political science text, The Clash can be properly understood only in the context of conservative realist and neorealist theory. Before the Second World War, the study of international relations was simply another term for diplomatic history.
The American Creed is a statement of the defining element of American identity, first formulated by Thomas Jefferson and elaborated by many others, that includes liberty, equality, individualism, populism, and laissez-faire. Not to be confused with Dean Alfange's "An American's Creed" .
It is a statement written in 1917 by William Tyler Page as an entry into a patriotic contest that he won. I believe in the United States of America, as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States;
