Although the United States is often depicted as one of the most progressive nations in the world, it is really quite provincial, and it is wracked with problems.
1. Poverty. In the richest nation that the world has ever known, about 36 million people live in poverty.
2. Divisiveness. A culture that was built on the "melting pot" principle is now divided along racial, political, and religious lines. The myth of post-racial America was made clear about a week ago when a person used the P.A. system at a Walmart store in New Jersey and directed all black people to leave the premises.
3. Environmental pollution
. With only 5 percent of the world's population, the U.S. contributes more to the overall pollution of the earth than any other country. However, with specific regard to air pollution, China now surpasses the U.S. because of its rapid industrial growth and the burning of coal in its factories.
4. Discrimination. Although we created the creed that "all men are created equal," we have never behaved as if we actually believe it. The effect of legal past discrimination has taken a toll on the present generation. Women, racial minorities, and certain ethnic groups have never received equal treatment under the law, in the economy, or in the "hearts of men."
5. Ignorance. With the greatest educational system that has ever been devised, our students come out last among students from other industrial nations on virtually every test of academic achievement. Consequently, employers in "high tech" industries lobby Congress every year to increase the number of H1-B1 visas, which give Immigration preference to computer scientists, engineers, and other professionals.
There are many other problems, but these five came immediately to mind.
