Modern Patriotism MAG
Upon receiving my copy of Teen Ink, “Modern Patriotism” by Scott O. caught my eye immediately. Scott has definitely made note of some things that are common in our generation. I also noticed that he is someone who really has his heart devoted to America.
However, I do not agree with everything Scott said. In my opinion, he came across a bit too defensive of America, as if he were sugarcoating it. He is right that America shouldn't be punished as a whole due to the recklessness of some politicians. However, he is wrong in implying that America should be complimented as a whole because of the achievements of one person. America is a place where many great inventions and freedoms were born – but not the reason why.
