This image questions the ideals of America due to the fact 4 innocent people were shot at a protest to the Vietnam War. The protest was completely understandable given events like the My Lai Massacre where American soldiers killed hundreds of innocent civilians. This event acknowledges that even a protest in America can cost you your life which is morally wrong and certainly does not represent American ideals. You should be able to express your feelings towards an event, especially a controversial one, without being killed for what you believe. This does not represent American ideology which is shown by over 4 million students protesting over the death of the 4 unarmed college students.



This image shows the events of the 1980 Winter Olympics where America defeated the Soviet Union in the semi final of the men's ice hockey in what was know as the 'miracle on ice'. This event is iconic in American culture as they were not expected to even claim a medal. The team was made up of college and amateur athletes who were up against the mighty powerful Soviet Union who had claimed gold at the last 4 Olympics. This event captures the American dream perfectly as it shows that anything is possible even when the odds are stacked against you. It is one of the most pivotal moments in American sporting history.
