If you asked anyone around you on how America is doing currently you would get mixed reviews, and likely a verbal debate. In my personal opinion, America is doing just fine, but does has had a few bumps along the way. America has come a long way from its national debt and spending, the heavy increase in un employment and has had many economic enhancements with the rapid improvement of technology. A way to assess if a nation is doing well is to look at the nations spending. Most nations who are prosperous will spend their money on their military, healthcare, and education. Shown on a graph, America spend five hundred and ninety-eight billion on the military, seventy billion on education and sixty-six billion on Medicare and health during 2015. These numbers show that America is doing well with most of their money going towards defending itself. Another factor is America’s national debt, which has been a huge topic in what is supposed to be Americas economic downfall, but the nineteen trillion dollars of debt is just a number. Even though the number seems …show more content…
With new technology, it helps create jobs in America, contributes to GDP growth, and helps improve the production of a products. Such technology are phones, that increase communication between businesses, individuals etc., transportation, which improves how a product could be transported to a buyer, and improvements to old technology to make it more efficient. And as time goes on so will new technology advancements that will improve the American economy even more. Overall, America has had a few setbacks in recent years, but has managed to pull through and show how great a nation we are. With nation spending and national debt, unemployment, and technology advancements America has shown how we are able to withstand even the toughest of challenges and be able to stay a great nation for a long
With the advancements that the US are making could make them fall instead of rise. They will fall because of environmental problems, their immune system, and military spending. When people think that the US is doing so well with these advancements, they are actually making things worse for them. When they cut down trees they make so much money, yet harming the soil. If they are too clean they will not be adaptable with diseases. If they spend too much on military there could be not enough money for things that need it. All the things that could be helping us is actually affecting us a lot and the people will never
America has overcome good and bad, ever since we gained our independence. Several large events changed how we view the past and we never want to visit those scenarios ever again. World War II changed lives throughout the world, especially the lives of Americans. Japan sneaked attack Pearl Harbor, Americans dropped bombs on Japan, and the US economy plummeted. We will never want to revisit these events, but they will always be remembered.
The United States is not the greatest country in the world. However, for a very long time, people have believed that the United States tops the list. This is because of the classic lifestyle and technological advancements portrayed in our daily media. The United States is portrayed as a country of peace and optimum harmony. Consequently, we get the impression that United States is the best place to be. The younger generation seems to enjoy life to the fullest with almost no regrets. After all, most of us can drive a car at the age of 16; compare that to other countries at 18. We have access to pretty much whatever we need. Most adults are not constantly monitoring and hovering over their children. They have jobs and financial prosperity is huge compared to other countries. The security system of our country is depicted to be superb. In other words, nothing seems amiss. In fact, many citizens in the developing world have sought to stay in the United States with the belief that their life will be the best in the world. The search for green cards is ever increasing because of immigration. Statistics indicate that the American Embassies in most developing countries are among the busiest, which is a good thing right? Nevertheless, I believe that United States is not the greatest country. A close examination of various sectors of the country reveals that America lags behind in many aspects.
The economy’s predictions of course, are not always right. But these leading and lagging indicators are here to help you decide what you believe. Is the economy getting worse and are we headed towards another recession? Is the economy getting any better, even better then ever? At the moment, this very economy is known to be in a recession, though some people say we are no longer in one. So, is the economy in a recession? Use this information so you can form an opinion but just remember before you decide, it’s always up to the government and the people part of the economy to decide where we are heading. It’s our spending and our choices that put us where we are now.
The United States is considered to be an empire it can be compared to the Romans and the Mayan’s. Most of the history books, websites, and encyclopedias all end with the same message when it comes to the crumbling of empires, the lesson is that little overlooked details could derail hundreds of lives. Little mistakes have happened in the past with other empires where it all came down to techniques of farming. Though the quality of life may be on the rise for Americans, there are many things that they have done in the past that may affect what may happen in the future. The many things that have happened will lead to destruction of one of the greatest empires that has survived and thrived for so long. The top most pressing problems that could
The essay titled America Remain the World’s Beacon of Success by Tim Roemer discusses the positive position America placed as a leader in many of its endeavors in the fields of technology, sciences, and healthcare. In Roemer’s opinion, America regarded upon by other countries as the litmus test comparing their success. Roemer enumerated the many achievements and discoveries America accomplished as new country at only 700 years old. Now the question remains, will the success of America continue to be sustainable? I believe it will be, and I agree with Roemer’s opinion despite the internal issues the country face on a regular basis. After all, success is a daily repeated effort in small sum.
The United States of America is considered one of the greatest nations in the world, but it did not get to be this way very easily. Our ancestors went through many trials and tribulations in our history and had to learn many lessons the hard way to get us to where we are today. Events like The Great Depression taught us many things. Also, new inventions, westward expansion and Roosevelt's New Deal impacted our country in positive ways.
My vison for America in the future is both good things and bad things. The good and bad things are people in this country the continuous evolution of technology and many fast food industries
Today America is one of the wealthiest, strongest, and hardworking countries in the world. It has a population of over three hundred million and growth rate of 0.97% annually. America has made many great contributions to the world politically and scientifically by inventing the telephone, discovering electricity, inventing planes, putting a man on the moon, and much more. America has grown and multiplied over time and it is still increasing. Even though today America stands apart from other countries, it was built from nothing but scrap.
America! America! America! I always feel excited whenever I hear this word because it is the land where I can gain my freedom and live with peace, but is it really? Till now, I still believe that United States of America is one of the greatest nation around the globe today because it totally changed my whole perspective of how life is and also gave me lots of opportunities I would never had while back in Africa. But overall, where does America stands when it comes to giving back to its own community, not outside the country but to its own natural born U.S. citizens? Apart from big businesses, schools/education, movies/entertainments, huge skyscrapers and many more, when I arrived to the United States in the year 2008, October 1st., after adjusting/getting
According to The Balance, a financial website brand owned by About.com, the causes of the 2008 recession have been blamed on certain factors such as the decline of manufacturing orders that began in 2006, and the housing market crash in 2007 which created a domino effect that lead to recession. According to Investopedia, in the short time before the 2008 recession, stocks were at an all time high in October of 2007. Less than a year later in September of 2008, stocks were down over 20%. This is eerily similar to today’s massive growth in the economy which could eventually fall like 2008’s. One of the largest indicators of where the economy is heading stems from the current politics of the United States. Economic plans of the Trump Administration such as an investment in infrastructure, promises to lower taxes, and bringing jobs and production back to America, have arguably been some of the reasons for such a large amount of speculative growth in the economy. Unless Washington does in fact follow through on their end of the bargain, the growth that our economy is seeing today can turn in the opposite direction in the blink of an eye. Some signs of a future recession of the economy have come just recently from the unexpected unemployment increase. According to CNBC, in March of 2017, 98,000 jobs were created although it was estimated that 180,000 were
Despite being a relatively young country, the United States of America is often thought of as the one of the most prosperous societies in the world. Known for allowing various forms of freedom and expression by means of its constitution, the United States have given birth to some of the world’s most brilliant thinkers, incredible schools and universities, and producing some of the most ingenious scientific breakthroughs and advancements. Overall, America is perhaps one of the most diverse, intellectually driven countries on Earth and I believe the United States is well within its Golden Age.
America has always been looked upon as one of the best and the strongest countries in the world. When the United States was first discovered, many immigrants came seeking the “American Dream,” but as time went on they realized that was not a possibility for everyone. Living and building a life in America is not as exciting or easy as it may seem. America does not have the one of the best education systems, they are low in health care compared to other countries, the born to death ratio is a lot lower compared to other countries, they are the number one country in debt, and many other things that make them fall low in the ranks. For being considered the “best” country, one would think that we would be the best in more than just our economic system, and military. With that being said, is America really the best country to live in? The US used to be the country everyone wanted to live in because of the "American Dream" but now we are not close to being in the

Transportation is another area where technology has had an impact tips that would have taken days by horse and buggy can now be completed in a matter of hours by car.
