Quindlen says that even in the face of diversity, all American citizens are united as one big and powerful country. Although this union is something positive in the country, Quindlen shows that diversity also generates conflicts within the country, in addition to generating inequality within citizens, which in addition to being negative, hurts the concepts of freedom and equality which formed this country.
