The Stars and Stripes, U.S. Flag


Evolution of the U.S. Flag

Initially, the U.S. flag has red and white stripes as many as 13 pieces with the Union Jack in the left corner. Number 13 is the number of British colonies to escape, including New York, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Delaware, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia.



In 1777, the Union Jack removed the U.S. flag on the grounds of ineligibility. Replaced with star pieces representing as many as 13 states. The entry of two new states in 1794 made the U.S. congress must again change their flag with an additional 2 stars and stripes again. Then, added another 5 states and congress just add a star if the line coupled with reason will only make the flag look crowded.

The civil war led to the emergence of joint Confederation States of America who wish to make their own flag which they called the Stars and Bars, the number of lines in 3 pieces and 7 stars in the upper left circle. The President refused to reduce the number of stars in the official U.S. flag.

During the war, the number of states increased to 35 pieces. After that, 11 states increased again in 1908. In 1912, 2 stars grow again until it reaches 48 states. In 1960, 50 fulfilled the star and survived to the present.

United States Culture


State Multicultural

The United States is a multicultural country. Culture United States also varies because of diverse people from all kinds of tribes, nations, religions and skin colors.

No specific culture that is owned by the United States because the United States is basically a multicultural country. As a multicultural country, the United States of freeing its citizens to bring the original culture of the area of origin, whatever it is.



Hard Work and Culture for the Better

One of the U.S. culture that has become a hallmark of the country is the culture of "hard work" and "to always be doing better."

See, almost all the population of the United States have a high work ethic and outstanding. They are also not easily discouraged though perhaps the failure was experienced numerous times.

They are always trying to be better day by day. This is the culture of the United States which shall be imitated and emulated by other nations, including Indonesia. With hard work, the United States can become a superpower.

High Uphold Freedom

One characteristic of the United States the other culture is freedom in all fields. Yes. United States is a country that upholds freedom. Whatever can be done there as long as no coercion?

Culture that upholds the freedom to make the United States a very liberal state. Everything is there, whether they are positive or negative.

That is positive among all types of advances from various fields who can provide benefits to others, such as the invention of social networking sites, Microsoft, and technology. United States is believed to be the forerunner of all sorts of advances from various fields.

Nevertheless, the culture of freedom that exists in the United States also needs to watch out because it can have negative consequences, such as free sex.

It's no secret that the United States is the country that most people do a lot of free sex. All sorts of media, both print and electronic media, free sex cultures penetrated by this. Negative result is that many other countries to follow the U.S. culture negative.

Filters for Other Countries

U.S. culture has two different sides, including the positive and negative sides. As a country that upholds the traditional east and decency, we should filter the United States culture into Indonesia.

Not all cultures the United States can be replicated and applied in Indonesia. All you need do is mimic a positive culture, like the culture of hard work and always wanted to be the best. Not on the contrary, that mimics the U.S. culture of freedom in all areas.

Statue of Liberty as a symbol of global freedom

Statue of Liberty, or Liberty Enlightening the World full, a colossal statue that stood on Liberty Island (formerly called Bedloe's Island), which was the port of New York. Statue of Liberty, Liberty Island, and the islands nearby, Ellis Island, declared a national monument in 1924.

Statue of Liberty in the United States is a sculpture made from bronze that was passed on October 28, 1886, and later became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984.

The giant statue of the iconic American country was a statue gifted by France to the United States as an icon of welcome to the visitors or the Americans who want to return to the country. The statue was also made by the designer who designed the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Statue of Liberty in the U.S. As a symbol Freedom


French sculptor, Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, was a designer of the Statue of Liberty. The statue itself was awarded by France to the United States to commemorate 100 years of independence of the United States in 1876.

The Statue of Liberty symbolizes freedom in the figure of a woman wearing a robe and crown taper fly while carrying a torch in her right hand and a book inscribed "July 4, 1776". A broken chain lying at her feet, symbolizing the overthrow of tyranny. Women are often referred to as the goddess of liberty because in addition to wearing robes similar to the dress or clothing used in the Greek goddess, the statue also has positions that are full of meaning independence.

    Construction of the Statue of Liberty

French people raise funds to finance the making of sculpture. Meanwhile, donations from the United States to finance the manufacture of pedestal (ground sculpture) and the installation of the statue.

In the United States, raising funds for the manufacture of Pedestal running slowly, so Joseph Pulitzer (who is famous for his Pulitzer Prize) in a newspaper editorial pages, The World, gives an appeal to support the fundraising efforts. Pulitzer used his newspaper to criticize the rich United States is not able to finance the construction of the pedestal. Pulitzer also criticized the middle class who rely on the wealthy to provide the funds. Harsh criticism Pulitzer successfully motivates the American people to give donations.

Funds are sufficient in the manufacture of Pedestal in August 1885. Thus, the construction can be completed in April 1886. Meanwhile, the Statue of Liberty was completed in France in July 1884 and the statue arrived at the Port of New York in June 1885.

The Statue of Liberty was brought to the United States using the French frigate "Isere". In delivery, the Statue of Liberty was divided into 350 pieces and packed in 214 crates. Statue of Liberty re-assembled at the new pedest for four months.

On October 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty was unveiled by President Grover Cleveland in front of thousands of visitors. Hundred years of independence gift ten years late.

    Giant Sized Statue

Statue of Liberty made of bronze sheets mounted on a steel frame. This statue is one of the world's largest sculptures. Ukurannya93, 5 meters from the base of the pedestal to the tip of the torch. The figure of 46.4 meter tall statue of himself, with the right arm along the 12.8 m and hand along 5.03 meters. Head of the statue, which can be reached by stairs or elevator emergency, height 8.5 meters measured from the neck to the crown, while the right ear to left ear length is 3.05 meters. Weight of the Statue of Liberty around 54 tons.

    Symbol Global Freedom

Statue of Liberty, which was originally a symbol of international friendship, now has become a global symbol of freedom that greeted the arrival of millions of immigrants in the United States. In 1903, the sonnet "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus, U.S. poet inscribed on the pedestal main gate. The poem The New Colossus talking about millions of immigrants who arrived in the United States through Ellis Island in New York Harbor.

This is the last five arrays "The New Colossus":

Give me your tired, your poor
your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The Wretched refuse of your Teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, Tempest-tost to me;
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Statue of Liberty in Mass Culture

In the science of semiotics, everything can be a myth that can move the world as desired by a group. So is the Statue of Liberty in America is often linked with the global symbol of freedom which is owned and distributed by the state.

When viewed at a glance, maybe the Statue of Liberty is just a majestic art made to heed the views of the visitors who come to America. However, there is a kind of ideology disguised the semiotic can open of the statue.

Sculpture is a giant statue, which means something big, can be seen by anyone in a state or a little distance away, and known to many as an icon superpower. That is, the bigger owned Statue of Liberty is not only showed the grand and romantic relationship between the state and the greatness of France with the United States alone.

The bigger this may have an ambiguous meaning or ideology. On the one hand, the French state as a state that gives the statue as a symbol of gift giving that our country is a country sexed women feel the freedom as granting by the French state.

Indirectly, the statue gives the sense that the French state is a big country that can provide greater freedom to the American nation. In fact, almost the whole world knows that the U.S. is a very developed country has the power and authority in the eyes of the world.

Then on the other hand, the statue was also a symbol and proof that our country who do not have a clear cultural roots like other big countries, it is able to stand independent even greater than that of other developed countries.

Liberalism in the Statue of Liberty

If Statue of Liberty was originally set up as a symbol of freedom, meaning statue is not only intrinsically patterned on freedom. There is value in the ideology of political sculpture that freedom in sin I as well as the concept of liberalism that is clearly visible from the system of government and politics in the country.

Broadly speaking may be freedom here, as well as the freedom that can be owned by individuals in an effort to improve the life of them. From start to faith or religion, freedom of speech, hang out, and all sorts of aspects of life is seen as a right full every American citizen and every foreigner who has also come or stay in the United States.

However, over time, these freedoms became blurred and a free meaning that no longer focus on human rights. America became a country whose thirst for power because almost all the countries who disagree with bullied for various reasons.

Even after the WTC bombing incident in September 2001, prompting the U.S. to be very afraid of freedom. The country then boycotts those who are identified as Muslim or Islam so that people who live there to be wary of social discrimination of the government agencies in the country.

From these examples, it can be concluded that freedom and liberty are not the only good that can be symbolized by the Statue of Liberty in America. The statue may be a myth that developed for deceive world to always see the greatness that is owned by the United States and the freedom offered by the country to another country in order to be subdued.

Philosophy of the State of America


"I have a dream," said Martin Luther King Jr... What is the American dream? The answer is freedom and prosperity. That is why when Obama was elected, the American public cheers. The stumbling block facing during tribal wars America: black and white, can be resolved.

Basis of the United States is unique. According to Abraham Lincoln, basic American is' of the people. By the people. For the people '. That is why the United States echoed democracy throughout the world, and a cop's world governing country in the world. Since the foundation of the United States is indeed a genuine democracy. United States is often a role model for developing countries to advance. The basic philosophy of the United States is said to inspire even the birth of Pancasila.



Philosophy and Values

John F. Kennedy in his famous speech saying "Do not ask what the country can do for you. But ask what you can do for your country. "This sentence is a potent weapon to make people serve his country. Nationalism was getting on. So what are the values that form the basis of the United States?

    Freedom. United States is the country that wants freedom. Even so freely. This freedom can be observed from the culture, film, politics, etc... America became the world about freedom mecca. Why there is free sex is not a taboo? Because freedom answer. U.S. gives full authority to the private affairs.

    Liberalism. Well, liberalism is the partner of freedom. Liberalism entrenched culture of U.S. society that does not want to be regulated. So the public affairs become increasingly narrow. The government is only taking care of the public sector is limited. The rest, the people taking care of himself. This value is reflected in the business sector, politics, etc...

    Democracy. United States is a first-class advocate of democracy. Democracy seems to be a new religion. Almost all countries in the world should be subject to the democratic system. Democracy is considered moderate, because it can unify and liberal extremes. Democracy is considered to lead to stability.

    National interest. National interest for the U.S. number one. When Obama returned home to Indonesia, is just nostalgia? Crazy, if so. Why we can see that the U.S. is too close to Israel and bias seen in the affairs of the Middle East. Even protect Jews. That's because the interest of U.S. national politics. Thus, the double standard is a common thing for the U.S... Consider just about Guantanamo, Iraq war, etc...

U.S. Economic Strength


U.S. economy can be said as one of the influential economic system in the world. United States is a super power in the world. Post-war world II, the United States became the only country in the world that has a great strength in any field. One area of the economy is the world axis.

Yes, the U.S. economy into the economic reference in other countries, both developed and developing countries. This can be seen with the value of the dollar which has always been a benchmark for the value of currencies in other countries.

It could be said that the post-war world II, the United States economic control of the entire economy of the countries in the world. Companies without exception. All countries in the world seemed to obey and comply with regulations of the U.S. economy.

U.S. Economic System deminate World




Economics is the main support for the establishment of a state. With the weak economy will make the situation in the country had become unmanageable. The impact of business and business in a sluggish real sector so that unemployment will increase, crime will go up and social life will be more complicated. For example, when the monetary crisis hit Indonesia today. The economic crisis is making many people feel tremendous economic crush. What is its impact on the country? Yes of course the negative effects received for a failed state in running the economy well.

United States became a superpower to rival the greatness of the Soviet Union due to the strong economic system. In the history of the world we find that the United States does not concentrate on the various foreign occupations before World War I. American political system before World War I is a political force, which meant that the United States does not overly interfere in inter-state relations issues. United States instead concentrate on building the domestic economy by enabling the development sector of the real economy at a time when the major countries when it spends money on war.

Sweet results obtained by the United States, when all the major powers after World War I ran out of money or the economy is weakening the United States it appears as a powerful state in the economy. And the effect is the United States able to subdue the developed countries like UK, France, and Germany under its domination. With emerging as a new force that has a great economic power, the United States further compete with the Soviet Union to win the ideological struggle. United States carries the ideology of democracy as master to influence other states to side. While the Soviet Union tried to spread socialist ideology or what is known as communism.

But in a battle of two superpowers was won by the United States with its allies. The Soviet Union officially dissolved as a state in 1991. With the collapse of the empire of the Soviet Union left the U.S. as the only superpower capable of grasping the world. Countries in the world are forced to be smooth and hard to follow the subject while the U.S. force in regulating domestic governance and foreign relations. Slowly now Indonesia became unwitting imitator United States that carries the capitalist economic system.

Yet when we look at the idea of our founding fathers, Indonesia's economic system is an economic system that promotes democratic mutual aid. But that idea evaporated without a trace at the moment. Mimicking the U.S. economic system means that we have adopted freedom of economy. That person is free to have a business in the public sector and natural resources should belong to the state. Look at how a number of individuals and groups in Indonesia greedily seize natural resources belong to the people. How many oil fields, coal mines, water resources and other natural resources which is now owned by an individual or company. People bite the fingers to withstand hunger without realizing that this country is truly the richest country in the world.

U.S. Economic System Capitalist

initially, there are two systems which control the world economy, the socialist economic system fronted by Russia and the capitalist economic system, initiated by the United States. However, the post-war world II U.S. capitalist economy, the only economy that rules the world.

Capitalist economic system fronted by the United States focusing on capital, that is, in this world modal which has an important role in the economy of a least developed country. Capitalist economic system is also likely to favor the weak.

And consciously or not the United States economic system of capitalist dragged one by one countries in the world to have the same shaft. Yes, we realize it or not.

One of the most striking is the United States that serves as donors of the world economy. Look, any country experiencing financial problems in the country will be "assisted" by the United States, including Indonesia.

The implication, which helped the country, will have a high dependence and a debt of gratitude to the donors. And indirectly, the effect is to make the state assisted with the flow of donor countries which in this case is the United States.

Monetary Crisis in U.S. Economy

clearly we can say, that the United States has a strong economic defense. With the economic system of the United States has now, the United States emerged as "lion" of the world that could never die.

However, what happens?

Like an anomaly, in 2008, the United States was experiencing economic collapse. U.S. superpower he suffered in the economic crisis. It's unbelievable, but that's the reality.

At the start of the policies of President Bush, who was still in power, who mindlessly spending state budget for an all-out blitz Iraq. As a result, the budget ballooned.

In the same time turned out to foreign trade deficit. Both conditions are exacerbated by the devastation in the housing / real estate business, capital markets, and financial institutions.

Like a domino effect that reacts quickly, failures in different fields spread to all areas of life in the United States. In the end the United States a global crisis that crippled all sorts of aspects of life.

Large expenditures to finance the war and the U.S. military were not followed by adequate income countries. Until the U.S. government forced the Bush era to the Obama seek inclusion of non-economic sectors. That foreign debt debenture shall be established in the country or we call the bond. Now the amount of debt the United States is a little more than that amount to about 150 thousand trillion rupiah. A very large number for a country that is experiencing economic downturn.

The biggest mistake of the force of the U.S. economy right now is to start the real sector. Most real sector businesses play in the stock and foreign exchange very draining funds that should have been in the real economy. So that funds for the establishment and development efforts to a standstill. As a result, businesses or enterprises that can absorb a lot of labor are few.

Unemployment rose, crime like endless, abandoned children, and the most miserable of other countries in the world were also affected by the impact. Especially countries that also mimics the U.S. economic system. Just as Indonesia's economic crisis as well. Many small and medium businesses forced to close due to lack of support from the government.

Difficult economic times make people having trouble finding work. The lack of employment opportunities employment a major factor in the increasing number of unemployed in the country. The situation is more difficult when the government has to establish cross-border economic cooperation with the signing of AFTA. Thus causing the condition of small business will run over the entry of the goods or services of foreign products into the domestic market.

When you have this, we still say that the economic system of the United States that the capitalist is able to provide intelligent solutions for the welfare of the American public in particular and the world at large? Especially in the long run? Um ... we'll see.

Hopefully this article about the U.S. economy can open our insights about the economic history of the world.

History of the United States


History can be regarded as the identity of a nation. Not one country on earth that does not have a history. So even with a state of the United States who have a history of revolution, the United States. Why the revolution in the United States did called the revolution the United States? American Revolution is one of the efforts made by the United States to escape the shackles of the invaders.

American Revolution departs from history that happened in ancient times. The American Revolution was a war conducted by the United States to be free from colonial British Empire. United States has a very long under colonial British rule. During the U.S. occupation of many people who cannot live as free people. Then what about the U.S. revolution could this happen?


American Revolution - A Brief History of Revolution in the USA

Unite States Revolution also called the American war occurred between the United Kingdom with 13 British colonies in the territory of the United States, before it became the United States. The colony is an area controlled by another country. Colonies were fighting the United Kingdom, among which are the state of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Georgia, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.

Revolutionary war the United States that occurred for about seven years, that is from the year 1775 until 1783, managed to free America from British territory, until the colonies formed a new country called the United States. They had long wanted to escape the influence of British colonial occupation in the colonial countries. Empire State certainly unpleasant, because it cannot determine its own future. Therefore, the United States pursued revolution.

Feeling of wanting to break away from British rule through revolution, the United States is perceived as American citizens their liberty in politics and trade began to restraint. All the political and economic life as if they are near death, as ruled by the British. In addition, the British government also charge very high tax to Americans regardless of whether they are of the feathers are in, or the underprivileged.

As well as countries that experienced colonization, America was also trying to be free from British rule through revolution the United States. They, the members of the British colonial state are also not necessarily the war to the British flag when not supported by the American figures.

These figures seem to have been very fed up with all forms of colonialism received country. In fact, instead of them coming from the UK alone. He was John Locke.

John Locke was a philosopher whose 'indoctrinate' figures originator of American independence to carry out a revolution called a revolution of the United States. Meaning make the mind a lot of these figures began to open, and struggled for liberation themselves.

American Revolution - Struggle USA

Americans struggle to gain freedom, in addition to the U.S. revolution, also done by diplomatic negotiations. The result is some of the congress and the signing by both parties. A person who 'moves' diplomatically to fight for American independence was Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Thomas Paine.

Leaders drive the revolution that once the United States became the first U.S. president was George Washington. He contributed a lot in the fight for the freedom of the peoples of America from British rule. Struggle George Washington was not easy in the United States is moving revolution. Together with the American people and to the limitations on the time, the United States conducted by the revolution struggle.

Revolution is an attempt to change the social and cultural revolution so with the United States. Changes in these revolutions tend to run with a very fast and highly based on matters related to public life in a country revolution. Words synonymous with the movement of knocking down and rebuilding. The spirit of the revolution that brought down that is the foundation of revolutionary struggle in the United States.

The revolution is happening in the U.S. is very different from the revolution in France. American Revolution more 'themed' fights the fight of independence; while the revolution in France only with respect to internal circumstances that occur in their own country. Thus, the United States is a revolution unparalleled struggle in getting independence from the hands of the invaders.

Not only Indonesia is struggling in the fight for independence, the American people were too. When we see the development of the United States now that has turned into a superpower is not inconceivable how it is in the British rule. It turned out great country like the United States had before it turns into a great nation have experienced periods of adversity. In fact, as a native Indian tribe the United States become trapped and eventually reduced community.

American Revolution became the turning point of the struggle of the American people during the colonial era Britain. Independence they desire they can finally feel well with the struggle that is not easy. It has been a lot of bloodshed in order to break away from the shackles of British rule. So, not only are its Dutch colonial powers, Britain also having a colonial history as part of the world.

American Revolution that freed the people of the United States of colonialism is not as easy as it also fills independence. Conditions that have been turned upside down by the British colonial administration, requires a long time to clean themselves. Revolutionary war the United States during the past 7 years, it has certainly drain potential. Especially the economic and political life that has not been stable.

However, the people of the United States slowly but surely able to improve itself, and it can align itself with countries that once colonized them. Even with the passage of time, the United States can be a large and powerful country and influenced the world. From the beginning, did not adaa as colonized, the United States turned into a large and prosperous country. Soon after the revolution, the United States ended, they started and rise from adversity as ruled by the British.

Learning of the American Revolution

the events of the revolution that engulfed the United States the land of Uncle Sam is suddenly stomp the world. The struggle for independence by the people of the United States when it was chosen by the war, called the revolution of the United States. American Revolution was made possible due to a strong desire to be free from the shackles of colonialism. With a strategy and thinking thoughtfully, the leading U.S. thinker’s usurper independence freed the country from invaders.

We should learn from the revolution of the United States. Not seen of war seize their independence, but saw the fighting spirit in the independence. We were also taken to win independence when the war, but not as big as the U.S. revolution. But basically we have the same struggle. The significance lies in the struggle for independence is not independence, but to see how after winning independence.

The United States could immediately improve itself after the outbreak of the revolution the United States, and eventually the United States turned into a great and powerful nation today. Many significant advances have been achieved by the United States. Compare this to our country after independence till now always still clean up. Indeed, in the period between after independence until today the United States has a much longer time, but at least we can learn to build from the United States, especially his fighting spirit.

There are three main pillars of the country and a benchmark of the progress of a country, the economy, education and security or robustness. If these pillars are not solid, prosperity and progress will not be easily achieved. To become a large and prosperous country needed balance between the three pillars. So that all three can run well needs healthy governance and away from the intrigue and corruption, collusion and nepotism.

If we want to learn and keep learning to advance the state as shown by the United States through revolution, the United States, it is not impossible we could also develop into a great and powerful nation, and advanced in technology.
