Will we ever as Americans stop holding our superiority over the heads of the rest of the world?

Question

Is having financial superiority and in turn purchasing power at extremly high levels as Americans a negative situation for a world with more than 90 percent of it's population well below that sort of material elitism? or if it is good, how so? Is it just a part of our genetic programming to be elitist when in that situation? Why do we consider ourselves to know how to fix anything at all with the rest of the world? Is it because of our materialistic success? Does that success translate into anything beyond what it is??

Answer 1

I think the old morals and wisdom got thrown out a long time ago. We need more caring, humble people in the seats of power if we are to really make a difference. How can we show other nations who we really are if we cannot move past the materialistic idealism? What ever happened to less is more? What happened to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves without asking for anything else in return? If we can figure that out than we can work from there. We are no different than anyone else.

Answer 2

You are doing really well wherever you are. You have access to a computer. You must be doing really well and be in the upper money level in your country. I really hope that you and your whole country do well financially. I hope that you all are healthy, no starvation, no illness and that the whole world prospers. I am an american yes. I know people judge us by TV. We are not american TV. We are all different. We all have different souls. Some of us are good and others bad. Just as any other group. Money does not bring happiness and we have a great deal of poverty and are getting more. We have lost our sense of family and it is hurting us. We are like anyone some good some bad. I wish you all the best and all your people. I do not care who you are you are all humans and humans are good and inocent at heart. You personally never did anything to me. I give you and your country my best wishes. Best of health and wealth.
ps not all of us aprove of the actions of our government.

Answer 3

Will the rest of the world ever cast aside its socialist ideas open its arms to capitalism and take some of the burden of helping every starving child in every 3rd world country off our shoulders. We do more than any other country. When we dont help after a disaster we are taunted for our bigetry. We are superior now and we dont like it. We have to pay for everone elses skrew ups because we are a moral and just society who tries to help too many people. If the rest of the world wants to wise up i welcome the challenge as top dog.

Answer 4

Your confused, America is the rest of the world that decided to come together in one place and work together in a democratic society. If all the countries we came from could offer the freedoms we have here maybe they would feel superior too. Our freedoms here are a superior blessing. I am grateful for them and that my ancestors came here so I could have this superior life style. If working hard to have a free country and wanting that for the rest of the world makes us superior, God be with us!

nicely i think of our recommendations are good we in simple terms might desire to artwork on the shop on with by. I recommend we performed an significant function in the drafting of the time-honored statement of people rights for the UN. I recommend we are in a position to talk the debate however the individuals on the line do not seem to take the duty of preserving our government to blame as heavily because it would, i might desire to confess that i'm complacent in this regard additionally. the reason of isn't all the distraction that look misdirect public opinion on international matters however the overpowering activity of the place to initiate and how. possibly you need to grant some information, enable me comprehend in an digital mail in case you have any powerful suggestion and massive question. i don't think of it particularly is the recommendations that are lacking so I truthfully have a tendency to accept as true with the above fact. yet as quickly as we don't exhibit the values we profess to uphold what's the element.

Answer 6

Many many questions, but with one easy answwer.

America is indeed the best country in the world. Why? Because we are the land of opportunity. The best people from every nation flock to our country because we offer them what they cannot find in their native country - opportunity. And when we have the cream of the crop working as hard as they can, it is only logical that we reap the benefits.

Said differently - 1 farmer with technology can feed a city. 1 farmer without technology can barely feed himself.

Answer 7

I refuse to answer so many questions! :)

Americans will realize that we are in fact NOT superior where it counts. Money will not last and technology will go with it.
If we look back in history there is one very important thing that Americans need to grasp: all empires fall. The question is if we can be true men and fall with dignity and grace.

Answer 8

Doesn't it say "question" not "questions"? Geez, Lou Reed, take a pill. Relax. You associate multinationals and neo-cons with the ENTIRE US population. Get out a little and talk to a diverse cross-section of people and not just white couch potato folk.

The Americans I know and work with are not arrogant pricks that you seem to think "Americans" are.

Answer 9

Only matter or time.....America will not be No 1: anymore......
Keep this in mind... If all your products are imported, and most of the money in America belongs to outsiders. what do you have actually ....... everything you do has something to do with another country.. YOU are not self sufficient... Look at anything you buy today 85% of it isn't made in America.... Hope this answers your question...Peace be with you
