After reading the introduction to "Rereading America" I found that I have so much trouble with critical thinking. I don't know where to start, what I should be thinking about, where I should be ending. Once you get through the introduction, you find that there are many underlying ideas but that is the main point. You need to be critical thinkers! Hopefully I can get to that later in the course so this blog is a warm up for me.
Being an American Citizen has its responsibilities as well as its perks. Not that there is a good or a bad to either of them. For me, I am so glad I happen to be growing up here as an American Citizen. But you also have to understand that with being an American Citizen you also have the responsibility to be a critical thinking (just an example from the text; there are many others). And by that going back to a high school class I took called Gender Studies, we studied the "myths" of roles of men and women in our society as well as throughout history. And it talks about that in the introduction! So for complicating my view, I don't think it will much because I've already been exposed to so much in that class that I probably will never forget!

I really like the way you say that "being an American Citizen means you have the responsiblity to be a critical thinker." That is one of the goals of this course.
