This is quite an open-ended question, as America is different things to different people, so your answer will probably be different than mine. From a geographical standpoint, America is largely the land that lies between the Canadian border and the Mexican border; however, I do not think this is the answer you have in mind. America is a continuing experiment in democracy. It is a republic where anyone can be anything. It sometimes does not consider its foreign policy decisions and is sometimes slow to enact social change, but America is really the sum of its people, for good or ill. America is a place where many immigrants want to live; yet, overseas it is often criticized for its role in world affairs. It is a nation that leads the way in terms of environmentalism, yet uses more natural resources than most of the world put together. America, to me, is a nation of paradoxes. Hopefully this answer will get your thoughts started.
