What is good about our society today? What makes you proud to be American?

There are many good things about American society and I am proud to be American.  One good aspect of American society is that it gives citizens freedom of speech.  I am proud to be an American because I can express my ideas and opinions because of freedom of speech.  American society also gives its citizens freedom of religion.  This is very important to me because I do not want to be forced to follow a certain religion that I do not believe in.  There are many good things about our society today such as the rights that it gives us citizens and I am proud to be an American for many reasons.
