The United States Is The Most Powerful Nation Of The World

The American attitude towards foreignness has always been evolving. From the Revolution era to the WWI era, opinions towards countries that are not the United States have went back and forth. One can conclude that the United States had a very strong stance against any form of foreignness because immigrants were promised a false hope of America, the racism that occurred in daily life, and the extremely racist ideas portrayed through World War I propaganda posters.

To analyze how the world views America, we need to examine exactly just how America treats the rest of the world. “Since the end of World War II, there have been 248 armed conflicts in 153 locations around the world. The United States launched 201 overseas military operations between the end of World War II and 2001, and since then, others, including Afghanistan and Iraq ….” (Arya, Barker, Donohoe, Gorman, Hagopian, Lubens, Rohde, White, Wiist, 2014). America has engaged in wars and operations throughout the entire world and has become involved in foreign affairs where their participation is unwelcome and unwanted. “I'd feel deep anger, not only at them returning Bush to power, but for allowing the outside world to lump us all into the same category of moronic muppets. The self-righteous, gun-totin', military-lovin', sister-marryin', abortion-hatin', gay-lothin', foreigner-despisin', non-passport ownin' red-necks, who believe God gave America

Several decades, post and after 9/11, America is known as the most influential nation in the world or the world super power. She has influenced other cultures and is known for her morals, her freedom, her aids to other nations or charitable organizations and her democracy. Nevertheless, America had positive reputation decades ago, but of recent; America’s image throughout the world vary, 9/11 brought light to that. NBC did a recent survey which shows that American’s image in our countries or nationalities is bad and worsening. What do other countries think about American’s culture? Why America reputation is worsening? What reasons are behind America's reputation, good or bad? How do Americans view American?

Some people may believe that the United States of America is the best country in the world, and others may disagree. If every single country adopted Americas beliefs politically, socially, and economically, then that will have positive and negative consequences. A positive reason other countries will benefit from becoming like the United States politically is because we have fair and just elections to choose our leaders. Another positive effect other countries may benefit from becoming more like America socially is because in America we have a good amount of freedom and aren’t restricted by many laws. Lastly, a positive effect other countries may benefit from being like America economically is because America is a capitalist nation. The negative

The average American when asked what they think of America will say that America is the greatest country in the world. They will advocate that America created democracy and is the country where you can achieve the goal of the self-made man. While

The world has a perception of the American people and it’s not as flattering as we would like to be. In Yanko Tsvetlov’s image “The World According To Americans 2012” he illustrates in a brilliantly colored map exactly how that perception appears to the rest of the international community. Using a map of the entire world, Tsvetlov somewhat comically and perhaps accurately labels countries or regions of the map in condescending statements or stereotypes (Tsvetlov). These labels are Tsvetlov’s interpretation of how the American people, either through lack of education or culture or perhaps simple misconception, see various regions of the globe. Our arrogance and ignorance as a nation has painted a picture for the rest of the world to easily judge us by. From tourists misbehaving to soldiers acting foolishly abroad, the world sees too much of the wrong side of the American people. Tsvetlov leaves his image open to much interpretation allowing the audience to draw its own conclusion about what exactly he’s trying to suggest.

What has led to this vague perception of Anti-Americanism? The United States of America proclaims itself to be a very giving and helpful nation. Many technological and medical advances in third world countries would not have prevailed without the help from this prosperous nation. However, the naïve population has failed to realize the hatred surrounding its policies and governmental attitude. There are many contributing factors tied into this perception of Anti-Americanism such as America’s support for Israel, the nation’s ways of life and morals, its strong economic and military power, freedom from unjust rulers, and the country’s impact on smaller countries.

However, Hofstede Center’s (2014) cultural assessment comparison of these three countries displayed higher difference mainly America scoring Individualism and Power Distance, while it scoring very low for Long-Term Orientation. It appears that American people promote a high degree of interdependence. People are mainly look after themselves and their direct family. Has less commitments for extended or elderly families. Emphasis on equal rights in all aspects of the society and government as individual not as collectivist societies. Organizations are

The United States actions are viewed world round; she is viewed by most of the world as a safe haven, a beacon of light, and hope to the darkest parts of the world. Yet to some, the United States is viewed in a way which contradicts what most would say. They portray her as an evil place with power hungry Christians as leaders whose goals are to take out small religious factors in the Middle East. The United States wants to project an image of being the safest country who beams her light, hope, and prosperity all throughout the world. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door” ("What Is the Quote on the Statue of Liberty?" 1). As so famously written by the poet Emma Lazarus. This embodies how the United States was in a past era. She welcomed immigrants from all lives to her great borders. It

However one of these surveys asks how significant America’s lead is in thinking their country is number one? What do other countries think of us? In 2015, a group of interviewers set out to answer this question by interviewing ordinary people from other countries. Here’s some words and phrases that popped up frequently: “Very patriotic.” “Freedom.” “The American Dream.”

At the heart of nearly every world conflict, the United States of America is either at the epicenter, or in some way, majorly involved; this has caused disdain among many nations of the world—and their disdain for the United States and her means has been demonstrated in various attacks, kidnappings, and other acts of terror. And while there are plenty of Americans going off into the world making effective, meaningful change that doesn’t spur the resentment of other nations, it is easily seen that there are many Americans—a majority—that continue to give other nations the impression that Americans are pompous, ugly people.

I think, Abby, that we must distinguish between USA popularity and support for democracy. According to survey there is a support for democracy and even religious freedom in the Middle East and the Muslim population worldwide.

America holds a high status in the modern world, and it is true that Americans are responsible for some of the world’s greatest innovations. However, our current leaders instill a certain viewpoint that creates misunderstandings about our culture on an international scale. The American lifestyle is fast-paced and hard-hitting: we are proud of our reputation for that. Many of our national ideals stem for a national pride and this behavior may seem off-putting to other nations across the world. This specific viewpoint gives off the impression of an attitude of superiority. Americans’ egocentrism concerning worldly affairs leads to others’ perception that we maintain an elitist society.

For many Americans, the America we loved has slipped farther away from sight. The American culture has been swept aside and multi-cultureism has taken its place. Freedom of speech has been put on hold because we have become a P.C. society. We are supposed to have freedom of religion in this country, but now freedom from religion has taken its place. All this and more brought on by the Obama

A rift has emerged in this alliance in the aftermath of the attacks of September11, 2002 that analysts characterize as “unprecedented in its scope, intensity, and, at times, pettiness.” (Asmus) Immediately after the attacks, Europe coalesced in support for the United States as sympathy for Americans dominated public opinion. The goodwill evaporated quickly, however, when it became clear that the United States planned to use the altered geopolitical landscape as one of the justifications for a preemptive war to displace Saddam Hussein’s dictatorial
