Is America a divided country....my observations say that it is?

Answer 1

There are a variety of opinions here, which could be considered 'divided'.

Or 'healthy'.

What exactly are you referring to?

Answer 2

I beleive it is. I think where you live and how things personally have impacted your life make certain things more relavent and more important than maybe things in other areas of the country.

I can only go on what I've personally seen and experienced. I'm older than some of you so I've lived through some changes good and bad and have paid attention to the changes along the way.

All I can say is never before have I ever felt such outright hostility before as I have the past few years. You're not only divided by race, relegion, sex, culture, financial status .....now we have the language barrier as well. I honestly was so lost after so many years in Florida that I thought the way of life I grew up in was gone. I was lucky to go to the plaines states and see it is still alive and well. Now that I'm back to where I started (born and raised).....it's once again like living in some other world. It's not farm land. It's a concrete jungle. 24/7 congestion. Murders all the time. It's a nightmare. Very culturally diverse but you can't learn anything about each other because no one wants to speak English and there's just too darn many languages to have to learn to talk to the mish mash of people here and they don't really seem to care to because they're fine with their group, in their sub-divisions, in their stores, with their people.

Answer 3

Yes, of course it is. When you let million of folks in from anywhere and any where and a good % of them are here illegally, it causes dissention and skism.
Along with the other cultures come a miriad of different way of doing things, including language, civil activities and familial expectations. No way much cohesion will happen any time soon with this approach.
Our population will quadruple in the next 20 years. The vast majority of those new people will be immigrants. Many will be illegal immigrants.
The concern I have, is that the USA will be divided so many different ways, it will fall apart. Sorta self destruct.
Heard the old saying, " If we don't hang together, we will hang seperately"?
Normal immigrant enculturation includes swear allegliance, speaking English somewhat well, learning civics about how to act and what your rights are, etc. If this approach goes out the window (illegal immigration and amnesty to such folks) the USA will fall or change to the extent that it will fall.

Answer 4

Your observations are correct. We are basically being divided because big corporations want to bring in workers from other countries who will do the work for a fraction of what an American would. So that leaves all of us doing jobs Americans won't do, to keep our heads above water & praying that noone in the efamily gets sick. You see, the jobs Americans won't do don't give any benefits like medical insurance so it wouldn't take much for anything to take what little we are able to save on the pittance we get paid to put us bankrupt & homeless. BUT if you are an ILLEGAL alien in this wonderful land of opportunity, you get free medical and are being offered multiple jobs beacause you work for cheap. See why I want to move?

Answer 5

I think you get a very jaundiced view of American divisions on this site and on any of the Internet blogs. I think there are more agreements than disagreements in America. When I speak with people in the real world, they are not so divided as they appear here--and are certainly more willing to listen to a divergent point of view. Few people are as fixed on uniform positions as they appear here. Most Republicans and Democrats do not parrot a "party line" across the board. Most Americans have strong beliefs, but they vary issue-by-issue. This site makes one think that there is a uniform liberal v. conservative/Republican v. Democrat position on every issue and there isn't. Also, you just never see stories in the main stream media about the things we agree on--you only read about the disagreements.

Answer 6

If you want to end an alliance between two or more entities, whats the best way? It's funny that we live in the information age and most of the information we get as average joe ppl is misleading. Smoke and mirrors ppl. WE ARE NOT UNITED. Of course this new plan is working just the way they want it to. All the while the North American UNION is taking that much more in shape. however it will not be complete until we revolt against ONE ANOTHER. You are in fact being manipulated.

Answer 7

I believe that is is a somewhat divided country, but into three parts and not two. I think you have the normal people in the middle, and they the crazy people on the left and the crazy people on the right.

Answer 8

It's almost always been a divided country. North and South, Democrats and Republicans, pro-legal and illegal.

Answer 9

A United country with disagreements.

And that's OK!

Just like any family!

Answer 11

Ah, how could we possibly be divided on things that are so obvious to everyone, and yet all of the scientists in the entire world agree that global warming is so bad that it actually destroyed the world twenty years ago.
