Today's class was very "intense". We watched a video in which there were 3 people who were answering questions for college students. One question that was asked was, "why do you think that the United States is the best country in the world." Two people said freedom and the the other man didn't answer at first. he eventually told us that he thought the US is not the greatest country and he wasn't afraid to speak up about it. I for one, think that America is a great country. I don't think it is the best, but I don't think there is a BEST country. Obviously, some countries are more advanced than others and are all around "better", but i do believe that the US does have its fair share of problems. We have problems right within our country and government and we also have problems in other countries and continents that we have to deal with. In the video, there was a women holding a sign that said, "It's not, but it can be." this was her answer to the question that i stated earlier and I agree completely with that.
