  • if I did, I would have to be obliged and follow their cultures

    This doesn’t seem true to be. There is no culture police who will come and enforce the way you live your life to follow the norms of your ethnic label(s).

    I don’t have a culture

    This is impossible. Everyone has a culture. You may not follow all the cultural norms or traditions of where you are from, but it is guaranteed that who you are was impacted by the culture you were raised in. There is no such thing as neutral, otherwise you are saying your personal culture would fit in everywhere in the world (Mexico, USA, Italy, Russia, Japan, Philippines, etc).















  • Yes off the top of my head our parks system is emulated world wide and generally the most impressive aspect for visitors of our country.

    We also have unparalleled accessibility for people with disabilities. Try to get around Europe in a wheelchair. You won’t have a good time.

    It is relatively easy to start a business.

    We have the top universities in the world.

    We are the best place in terms of medical R&D, as well as scientific research in general

    We are above average in gender equality (though there are certainly places that are just as good or better). I wouldn’t want to be a woman in the middle east, for example.

    We have the best road connectivity, though obviously quality of those roads could be improved.

    We provide more humanitarian aid to foreign countries than anyone else (depending on your perspective this could be good or bad).

    Should I go on?


  • I think they should take what works and leave what doesn’t. There are a lot of great things about the US, alongside the not so great things. Why shouldn’t other countries emulate the things that are fantastic here (e.g. our national parks/public land programs as one example).

    Just like we should look at things that work in other countries and see if they can improve QOL here. Every place in the world has its good qualities and bad. The US isn’t special in that regard.
