USA ( SUMMARY PRESENTATION 1)

To talk about USA is difficult, because there is a lot of"human reactions", about this country. On one hand some people hate the US, and all that represent Americans but on other hand, some people love and follow closely what in America happen.

Whatever, nobody can deny that the United States of America, is at the present, the most important country of the planet, because it big influence world wide. Influence that is showed in insignificant and superficial things like music, movies and fades and trade; and also very important issues like economy, military power, science, inventions and technology. Also the globalization has allowed to know more and more American products everywhere.

The US means "controversy". Let see some examples:

Number 1 People could say that America dominates the world but generally speaking It doesn't have "colonies". The countries are not occupied by administrators or soldiers but they are occupied by business and products.

Number 2.- The anti-globalization activists, speak about the "American Empire" but unlike the British Empire. is does not exist geographically. American Empire is financial and its a regular method of control as Economic domination.

Number 3.- The US is a country that can well represent the "whole humanity" because is a multicultural nation; home of a wide variety of ethnic groups, traditions and values. There are Americans from different races, colors, cultures and educational meanings.
There is not "American ethnicity" aside from the now small American populations: native from Alaska and Hawaii. Nearly all Americans or their ancestors immigrated within the past 5 centuries.

Number 4.- The US can be a very generous society, helping poor and sick people around the planet, also at the same time, US has the highest individualism score of any country.

Number 5.- Another example of the contradictions in the USA, despite of the radical groups and racism, America offers a lot of opportunities to have a better life. And I talk not just about money, also special education, jobs, training and freedom.
