The Quintessential 21st Century American

The topic of this essay is to describe the Quintessential 21st century American. My idea of the quintessential 21st century American is someone that's still living and been through a reasonable amount of time on earth. Everyone is different so there is no specific answer to this question. For example: People are different because might say the opposite of someone else about this topic. Everyone is different not one person is the exact same as any other. Back in the early nineteen hundreds it was tough to make it in the world. The economy wasn't great and people didn't get paid as much money. There weren't as many medicines to help people like there is today. Also, children would quit school and help their families during the day. In the 21st century the world has industrialized. Now whenever someone is sick usually they can be cured, the economy still isn't great but people get paid more because minimum wage goes up every year so Americans can afford goods they need to live. Now children don't have ti drop out of school to help their families. It is better to be an American now then it was back in the early nineteen hundreds because the technology is advanced and so many other things that we need in life.
