Make Shrek The National Symbol of America

The Issue

  Making Shrek a national symbol for America would without a doubt be a bold and unconventional move, but it could also bring a unique identity to the nation. Shrek has been an iconic character for people all across the nation. Embracing Shrek as a national symbol could symbolize America's willingness to celebrate individuality and acceptance of diversity, as demonstrated in the movie.

  Furthermore, Shrek’s popularity transcends borders, making him a recognizable figure not only nationwide, but globally. By adopting Shrek as a national symbol, it could attract many people to the country, and forever leave an impact as the country represented by the great green ogre, Shrek. Additionally, using a non-traditional symbol like Shrek could break away from typical national emblems, displaying America's open-mindedness and willingness to embrace pop culture.

  However, it is essential to consider the implications of such a decision. While Shrek brings laughter and joy to many, some might argue that using a fictional character as a national symbol could trivialize more critical aspects of American history and values. And, some people may take Shrek to be unserious and say this may leave a mark in our country. But by accepting this decision, we might make america better and make america forever known as the country who embraced diversity, pop culture, and the country that acknowledged the country’s more profound traditions and history.
