How does American culture compare to a salad bowl? There are many differences between groups of people in America, but they mix together well, like a salad.

There are many different colors in a salad, and there are many different races represented in American culture.

There are usually some parts of a salad that people like, and some they don't, just like most Americans feel about other cultures.

There are many vegetables in a salad that makes it a healthy choice, and diversity in American culture is also "healthy" for the United States.

The proposed downtown mall development will cause severe economic harm to our city. i, like everyone else here, am concerned about the troubled economy, and we all know the importance of job creation — especially here - but these concerns shouldn't push us to blindly support supposed "job creators" without first looking at the data. the truth is that when jobs are created in one place, they're usually destroyed somewhere else. studies have shown that for every job created by a mall, at least one job in a local business is lost. as the former owner of two long-standing small businesses in our community, i know all too well the power of these big commercial chains. my fellow citizens, we have watched this evil evolve for decades, and it's time to take a stand. these new chain stores may be able to offer lower prices on some goods, but they also take money out of our community to pay distant executives and shareholders. if we oppose what is the author's point of view?
