Well, haveing graduated high school only two years ago, I can tell you going through school, from the time I was in elementary all the way through high school, our teachers always told us that America is the best place to live. They pretty much implanted in our minds that our counrty is the best, she should be proud of where we live, there is not other place great...that kind of thing. Not saying I'm not proud of my country, but being the person that I am, I always wanted to live in different countries for a while and see different cultures. I don't think that America is just the absolutle best. I think that is something based off of opinion. I personally don't know what country is the best, but I think it's awful arrogant to assume that we have the best country and to plant it in the minds of children that way. They honestly made us feel bad if we didn't feel this way about country and I think that's where a lot of the pride comes from. I honestly heard before that Denmark is the happiest country in the world but, like America, I guess that's based off of someone's opinion.
exactly, we are told we are better then other countries... but most people in america want to leave and see other countries. the citizens don't believe we are the best.... We are just another country who struggles.... and we struggle in the most important areas. Our country is not the best. I would love to leave this country and go to a different one... I think americans are lazy in general there for shouldn't be proud of hteir country.... we don't do anything.
IIN to hate Americans who think their country is the absolute best?
