"There is strength in diversity"; this is true of all species (even human) because living things need a diverse gene pool to be able to sustain the species.

"Hawaii" by James Michener (especially the part about the Chinese substitute wife), is an excellent example for the American Dream.

One classic example is adding a definition or synonym within parentheses after a word, like this: "The man was wearing a top hat (a tall, flat-crowned hat)." Another use is for clarification or background information, such as in a sentence like "The team (consisting of players from different schools) won the championship."
