The U.S.A

Today in class we talked about how the U.S. is or is not the best nation in the world. When asked our opinion on the subject the class was about evenly split on the matter. After we talked about which way we voted and why Mr.Schick had us watch an 8 minute video about a politician being asked about what makes America the greatest nation in the world. Originally he said some cliché answers like because we have freedom but then he realized that the U.S. is really not the best nation. He started saying how other nations also have freedom and some have even more then us and how we aren't even on the top of many lists in the World Factbook. The U.S.A. is definitely not the best nation in the world but when you think about it what nation really is? No nation is perfect or even great for that matter. At the moment I consider America slightly above average its not terrible but its not the best either, but many nations fall in this category because the world isn't great by itself and it only gets as good as the minds behind it.

End of Rome
