Question please answer??

Question

America has a really huge ego. I mean i am american myself but seriously though its like America thinks its untouchable in a lot of cases. For almost every bad event that happens here they have to make a huge memorial or announce the anniversary on TV with this huge headline. Its okay for some cases, but for something minor that happened like 10 years ago it is just ridiculous.

Plz no harsh comments

thank you for your opinions though

Answer 1

oh wow. you could not be more right. i think about this often too! yes, there are tons of people dying. millions a day, and america sits here worrying about mostly their tragedies like hurricanes. (not that i don't care about that tho) but it's just kinda selfish. more people are dying out there than we can possibly know. we make our own events a bigger deal tho.  

Answer 2

My opinion is Americans have no idea about the world, unless they are well traveled or have lived abroad. But it seems to me they are in a bubble of their own. Of course its good to be self reliant, but they think everything is about them. E.g. The Islamic terrorist attacks lately in the Philippines wouldn't make big news in America but If there was an attack like that in America tomorrow, we would have to listen to it for the next few years....Its not the peoples fault, Americans are friendly and open minded people, they just don't get a chance to use their open mindedness because of the way America is structured, The media have the society paranoid about terrorism, war, beauty etc.

Hope I wasnt too harsh....
