What is "Un-American"?

   The term, "Un-American", can be very hard to define. Some say that Un-American means to do horrible crimes, while others can say that it means to do something that is not done in america. 
   A lot of things that people do can be "Un-American". People also seem to think that, only, bad things that others do, is Un-American. But there are many reasons something can be considered un-american. A lot of religions were not started in America. Christianity was started way back in the past, before America was founded. It just so happens that the Pledge of Allegiance has "God" in it. In some religions, there are arranged marriages. In America, anyone is free to marry who ever they want.  Also, cannibalism can be un-american. No one in America, unless they are beyond crazy, eats people for the heck of it. Lastly, it can be un-american just to mind your own business. In other words, no one minds their own business in America. 
   Ultimately, "Un-American" is a difficult topic. Anyone in America has the right to speak freely, and because of this, anyone can say anything is un-american.
