Why do they have the concept of exceptionalism?
Why don't we study more American literature yet we consume so much American popular culture?

America - bright star or black hole?]]> 2019-04-07 23:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/constanza_hanich/rx0ya8ndyj06/wish/349315195 taykayla257 https://padlet.com/constanza_hanich/rx0ya8ndyj06/wish/349315244 - Politically powerful
- Unintelligent (just some people e.g. everyone on the Jimmy Kimmel Show)

Questions:
1. How do they claim to have a good education system when a good portion of the citizens on the street don't even know where their own country is?

2. Why was no action taken in response to the multiple school shootings that happened in 2018 - they need to look past their shooting hobbies, the fact that guns are still available still leaves a chance that their kids will die in the hands of one irresponsible person?

3. Extra question, but why do they still use the imperial system?

Analogy:
America is that one friend in the group that does not fit in.

1. Redneck stereotypes
2.  Powerful regarding political influence
3. Majority of Americans lack common sense

Questions:
1.Why are America's ideologies and beliefs going backwards despite the progressing scientific evidence and increasing multiculturalism?
e.g. Anti-vaccination movement, becoming more racist
2. Why is the American public/American government so adamant about not changing the gun laws despite the growing numbers of mass shootings and student deaths?

Why are they so ignorant to their gun laws? Why haven't they done anything about the school shootings?

America is like Aristotle thinking the Earth is the centre of the universe; they think they're the centre of the Earth.
