LEARN IN ORDER TO SERVE

CHATHAM HUMN 245 E PLURIBUS UNUM


E Pluribus Unum was the motto proposed for the first Great Seal of the United States by John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson in 1776. A latin phrase meaning "One from many," the phrase offered a strong statement of the American determination to form a single nation from a collection of states. Over the years, "E Pluribus Unum" has also served as a reminder of America's bold attempt to make one unified nation of people from many different backgrounds and beliefs. The challenge of seeking unity while respecting diversity has played a critical role in shaping our history, our literature, and our national character. www.assumption.edu/ahc


In the eighteenth century, St. John de Crevecoeur became one of the first people to ask in print: What then is the American, this new man? He was not the last. It is difficult to define one identity for the citizens of a nation dedicated to respecting differences. Paradoxically, perhaps the most distinctive qualities of our national life and character may be the result of our attempts to achieve unity from diversity.

E Pluribus Unum and cultural diversity are the themes for next week's classes. We will be writing our first English 101 essay. An example of an essay is herein attached so that you may review its content and formatting.
