Part 1 Aria （Xinrui）Li

The American dream is to give people the right to religious freedom for their happiness.💗💗💗

America seems like a Melting pot🍯🍯🍯 to have various people, so that accept different religions is the spirit of freedom, which is the real freedom.

In the presence of religious people, faith 👼👼👼in their life. They are happy because their faith is recognized, and talking about their religions whenever and wherever they want is the biggest freedom they hope. In my family, my uncle believes Buddhism, which lets others call him the superstitious man behind his back. In the Spring festival, my uncle 👨👨👨usually gives me a bracelet 😻😻😻 which connected with Buddhism

and may bring luck💘💘💘 to people. However, when I come back to school🏫🏫🏫, my teacher👱👱👱 asks me to take off it just because she thinks that the belief of Buddhism will disturb👊👊👊 class order and bring bad influences. It may let students hope good grades by believing Buddha without trying to get it by their own efforts👍👍👍. 

In my article, it states that the freedom of religion is the American Dream and how hard it would be. Newspaper🗞🗞🗞 Article has a wider spread💭💭💭 and lets more people pay attention to this matter. Some people did not start their lives in American. They moved to America based on various reasons, and hope for having a new start💫💫💫.

However, they have pushed aside because of their different religions. "Prejudice plays a key role in the existence and proliferation of Islamophobia.” People have negative impressions about Muslims and thought that appearance means the war. So that people stay away from them. But it is a fixed impression which lets Muslims keep a low profile without taking any activities in the society, and it is unfair🙅🙅🙅 to them just because of their religions.

They have their right to enjoy life😜😜😜. Giving people label is so strict😓😓😓.  However, the American Dream is idealistic because different kinds of people have various options😒😒😒, and even some of them think that based on beliefs to judge people is the presence of freedom. It is so irony and contrary to the idea of religious freedom.

I think each of us has the power💪💪💪 to decide our beliefs, and none have the right to judge💬💬💬 us based on it. Different religions will not let us feel uncomfortable anymore and feel the confidence to go out.
