wHATS SO GREAT ABOUT aMERICA??

Question

in youre opinion what makes our country so great, what do you think makes it bad?

Answer 1

Freedom to vote for who you like and not have to vote for a member of just one party like it was in Russia under communism. The freedom of the press, public education for boys and girls through high school. The legal rights we have under the Bill of Rights against illegal searches and being imprisoned. No established class system, saying that one group is better than another. The freedom of religion, I mean you can be Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, or Muslim or anything you like or nothing and you will not be treated like a second class citizen for it or made to pay a tax for not being a member of a religion, which is the case in some nations. Freedom of expression, you can say the leader of our nation is a fool if you like and not be killed or put in prison for it. The ability to get training in any area you like and follow your own idea of what job you like. What makes America bad is to many people do not know anything about our political system, or about who they are voting for and why they are voting. Heck many people have no idea who the vice president is or who the speaker of the house is or the line of succession. Another thing that is not so great about America is that there is no real check on the press and "news" agencies. So they can be one sided and not give the whole story or the whole truth, that makes keeping Americans really informed hard. I mean people really have to research things on their own. Another is that it seems like criminals have more rights than the victims do usually. While our system is far from perfect it is one of if not the best in the world. I think it is sad and could be the undoing of America if people do not start working together more and stop all the political bull that goes with having a 2 party system. Americans should also take more responsibility for their actions and keep informed of what is going on and why. It seems all people do now is gripe about things that are wrong, but never try to really solve any of the issues. Well that is some of what I think about why this nation is so wonderful and some things that make it bad. =)

Answer 2

The freedom to become anything you want and the freedom to be who you are. People can still come here to America from a foreign country with a dream and pursue and achieve it. The bad is people take the freedom for granted as most of us have always had it s we do not know what it is like to come from a country that is more restrictive.

Answer 3

It's not a 3rd world country, the govt. might be corrupt but it's better that the corruption in Bolivia, or Russia for that matter. Health care only is unaffordable because we have to afford the Hummer & the gas (with rising prices) that get us to McD's instaed of the breadlines in other countries. Plus you can live a rich man even on welfare whereas other countries can't even pay their debts to America.

It does suck because we have to sugar coat everything to be politically correct so certain groups and races don't get upset and sue. I hate when illegal immigrints get mad when you don't give them rights that belong only to legal citizen's like Licenses and Jobs so they protest. Great, the only reason "whites" don't do "mexican" labor is because we're too lazy and had to pawn it off onto someone else after slavery ended. Hell now we have to outsource to China and India because no one wants to actually work in America.

Answer 4

Pros:It has a lot of variety, cheaper prices, freedom, government (system is not great but it is a lot better than the majority of other countries)
Cons:people have less knowledge of other countries, the society focuses most of its time on pop culture then it does on things with actual meaning, bad to none public transport systems, afraid of change

7) A certain closemindedness or even arrogance towards the rest of the world.

Answer 6

No country in the world is without it's faults, but we have freedoms in the US that no one else can boast of. I can't imagine living anywhere else. If you honestly don't know what makes the US such a great country, read our Constitution and our Bill Of Rights.

Answer 7

Well, I can't remember the last time I was afraid some loony would pop around the corner and fire a rocket propelled grenade at my face, so that's a good thing.

The good of America would take volumes to fill.

The bad is the decay of morality, and the tolerance/embrace of the decay of morality.

Answer 8

The good is that you can become anything you want here. You are the only limitation in how far you can succeed.

The bad, probably the political correctness and catering to every single person is ruining the country.

Answer 9

What makes a rustic super is whilst human beings think of a rustic is massive. North Koreans think of North Korea is massive, maximum individuals think of united statesa. is massive. Technically, i think of China is the suitable united states because maximum human beings stay in China, and consequently maximum human beings interior the international think of China is the suitable united states. ok yet heavily what a stupid ******* question.
