We have more powerful weapons of mass destruction than any other country ... But then I don't think that's really anything to be proud of ... Just like I don't think that easy personal access to guns is a good thing ...!
They even have apple pie, bacon, hamburgers and cookies! My God! The world is coming to an end if we don't get our guns and go out to protect our freedoms from them Communist Terrorist foreigners!
Sorry for my little impression of an American there, but you really appear that way to us foreigners. You are so self-certain that you have everything and everyone else have only rubbish excuses of things they have copied from Americans. It is good that someone occasionally takes the time to reflect on the world.
Oh, and before I go, there are actually many foodstuffs you only can get in America, mostly because it is unprofitable to sell in Africa and Asia, and the rest have banned the products because of the health risk. Did you for example know that the genetically modified soy that is so heavily used in the US for virtually everything from noodles to cereal might increase the chance of contracting cancer and ruins your immune system over time? It hasn't been banned in the Sates because scientists couldn't fully prove that the soy had these effects, but I would avoid eating soy products too often.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
