5. A Patriotic Figure? True American ideals are rare in modern America. The class structure is reforming, inequalities are still present for all minorities, religious discrimination is abundant, and information is controlled. America, whether or not it is practiced, was founded on freedom, the ability to live without fear, to pursue happiness, and to sculpt the nation you reside in. It can be argued that knowledge is required to achieve these ends, so Themis will work to spread knowledge and further America into living up to its own ideals.
