Being an American is defined by a combination of citizenship, shared values, and cultural identity. Citizenship can be acquired through birth, naturalization, or descent, but it also encompasses a commitment to the principles of democracy, freedom, and equality. Additionally, embracing the diverse cultural heritage and participating in the civic life of the nation contribute to what it means to be an American. Ultimately, it’s about belonging to a community and embracing its ideals.

How do you determine what generation American you are?

To determine what generation American you are, count the number of generations between you and the ancestor who migrated from somewhere else to America. If you father was born elsewhere but came to America as a child or as an adult, and you were born in America, you are a first generation American; you are the first born in America. If your mother was born in America but her mother was born elsewhere, your mother is first generation and you are second generation.


What civic value do you believe is most essential to being an American?

In my personal opinion and with my understanding of the question, I would say it would have to be your sense of pride about being an American. There are many people born elsewhere and can't ever come to America, yet we were born here. I think that is the greatest civic value.
