Do Americans see themselves as superior to the rest of the world?

Question

If so, why?

Answer 1

I'm an American, and I certainly don't. I don't think that the country that someone's born in or the culture that someone is raised in makes one superior to anyone else.  

Answer 2

I don't think we consider ourselves superior as much as just really lucky and blessed with freedoms that not all countries have.  There's also a lot of money in the USA that allows for more opportunity than others.

Answer 3

Yes, because they are the leaders in all areas of human endeavor.

Answer 4

some think they are superior to everyone, but most are just nice people that care and are trying to survive.

Answer 5

i believe that american society is better than a large part of the 3rd world, we are educated better...  I also believe that an average person in germany or japan is better than us.

Answer 6

No, I don't think I'm better than anyone else, but I can see why you might think that because of some of the bone-heads on here. Sometimes I see other Americans on here that are an embarrassment to the U.S. when they say stupid things that almost seem purposely degrading or offensive to people in other countries. Half the time, those questions/responses come from kids who think they know it all.

Answer 7

No, not at all. A lot of people are misinformed about us. Don't believe everything you read or hear. If we are so bad why do we have the largest immigration percentage than any other nation. We are a proud good people. Most of us anyway!
