how spoiled do u believe u are as a privileged american?

Answer 1

I don't know if you're kidding or not, but - when I first traveled outside the U.S., I realized how very many privileges people in the U.S. have, that most of us don't even realize. These are some things that I think most U.S. citizens don't really think about most of the rest of the world as not having:
1. Personal space. In several other places, I've noticed that people's idea of personal space - how far other people should stand away from you in order to be polite - is much smaller, or doesn't exist at all. For instance, in Mexico City and in London it was perfectly acceptable to stand in line with people touching each other - and that does not really happen in the U.S.
2. Lots of water. It's really nothing for us in the U.S. to think of filling up an entire bathtub that's big enough to move around in every day. In Europe, I've always had showers, except once - and then the tub I had was in an _expensive_ hotel, and it was still so small there was almost no room for water once I sat in it! In London, I believe most if not all of their water comes from the Thames river; in the U.S., if our usual water supply runs out - and we do have dry spells, and droughts even - but we just borrow it from someplace else. And we _never_ completely run out, and it's never very expensive, and 99.99% of the time there is someplace convenient to wash your hands and face and drink water free.
3. Housing space. I live in a 9-room house on a one-acre lot, with one other person, and I'm a regular middle-class person. While that's not really typical, it's not really unusual either in the U.S. Regular people in other parts of the world simply can't afford to have this much space per person.
4. Food. At any given time, we can get just about any kind of food we want, from anywhere in the world. Peaches are actually ripe for about, what - a month? But we can get fresh peaches about 9 or 10 months out of the year here, because we ship them from other places - cheap! I don't know if bananas grow anywhere in the continental U.S. or not - I don't think so - but I would say that _nobody_ is so poor that they couldn't go buy one banana. Imagine where that banana had to come from! And several workers have had to handle and ship it. And yet, almost everyone in the U.S., except maybe the very poorest of the poor, can afford to buy all the bananas they want because they are so very inexpensive.
5. Public libraries. Anyone can go into a public library - and they are all over the United States - and read a book. Even the smallest libraries have thousands of books. Most public libraries also have computers with internet connections that anyone can use, free of charge.

I'm sure there are many, many more things. These are just the things I remember noticing when I first began to travel. However, I will point out that the ways in which most Americans are spoiled have to do with material things. When it comes to things like eduction and vacation time and socialized healthcare and inexpensive prescription drugs and lack of crime - many other countries are much better off than we are - and some are worse off. But if what you want is _things_ - well, the U.S. is probably the place to be. I don't know if that's really something to be proud of, though.

So yes, in some ways we are _incredibly_ spoiled.

Answer 2

one million. Brainwashed by utilising the media; the Fox information narrative is spreading like a virulent disease. Even people who do no longer watch Fox information have been contaminated by utilising it. 2. they're quite ignorant. No purpose learn and learn is ever completed. They get all their suggestion from wikipedia, anti-Islam web sites, etc. 3. Many are without extreme thinking skills. that is exhibited by utilising their assertions consistently being incorrect. that is an obtrusive loss of coaching or undesirable high quality coaching.
