Consider the information and reading selections you have read about cultural diversity and socioeconomic differences. Write a one-page essay or a 16-line poem describing what constitutes your American identity. How do culture, religion, socioeconomic status, family, and background make you who you are? How do these factors make you unique? Make sure to include an introduction, a body, and a conclusion to your essay. If you choose to write a poem, try including figurative language or poetic techniques such as a rhyme scheme. To improve your essay or poem, try brainstorming, outlining, and revising drafts to your work.

The term "constitution of identity" reflects how we see ourselves as a human being, through our perception of culture, family, relationships and experiences. We must always look for this constitution because it allows us to get to know ourselves better and understand what makes us unique and special.

Based on that, I took the liberty of reflecting on this concept, thinking about what constitutes my identity as an American, and I came to the conclusion that this identity is not linked specifically to the country where I was born, but to the culture that was built in those regions and in the United States. values that have been stimulated by my family for generations.

As we know the entire American continent was colonized and exploited, the Americans had to fight for their freedom and autonomy, as well as fight to establish a culture that reflected their own values and not European values, which did not fit our reality. This struggle in search of the goal, freedom and quality of life has always been very present in my family, from the parents of my grandparents until today, passing from generation to generation. I believe that this family "heritage" brings me closer to the American values that constitute my personality.

This taught me to be persevering, strong, to have confidence and above all to respect the struggle of other people, who have goals like mine, or even different, but who are all focused on always doing the best, like all American countries who do and have done the best for their people.

In short, I came to the conclusion that our formation as Americans is more linked to the concepts that the existence of that continent created, than to geographic location. Our identity, like our continent, teaches us to be strong, sufficient, free and fair, with all those who need it.

the sentence that avoid faulty coordination is:

culture, which is well represented in philadelphia, plays a major role including theatre, music, and the visual arts.  

faulty coordination occurs when the writer gives equal importance two different ideas (clauses) which in fact are not equivalent. in order to correct a misplaced clause or idea, the writer can place less important or emphatic ideas in a relative clause as in the previous sentence.
