Assignment 11: Civics

Dennis Prager, a "nationally syndicated" radio host and  creator of PragerUniversity.com, explains the significance of Superman, a fictional and former American superhero, renounced his citizenship back in 2011. The hero points out that " truth, justice, and the American way---it's not enough anymore." Is this his way of bringing attention to an understated universal coalition? Speculations have driven a line between recognition of ethnicity and recognition of nationality. Many people believe that if we refer only to nationality there would be a smaller amount of differences thus creating less war over diversity. As America becomes more diverse mentally and ideally, the terms "left brain" and "right brain"  have served as a more accurate identification and maybe even a form of self-segregation throughout the public views. The American right, better known as conservatives,  would rather uphold nationalism because they believe it creates unity in the melting pot. The liberals, or the American left, on the other hand find nationalism blinding and greatly insignificant.
"Courtesy of DC Comics Superman tells the president: "Truth, justice and the American way --- it's not enough anymore,"
The liberals won the fight causing Superman to lose his citizenship, but gain more power through an extreme version of freedom even though to most conservatives, "the renunciation is kryptonite."
