American prestige is as high as it has ever been and Communist prestige is very low.

It is difficult to predict whether health care in United States is a right or a privilege, because the health care in United States is still going through extensive transformation. Affordable Care Act (ACA) has definitely provided more and more people an access to care they need, which implies health care in United States is becoming more of a right than a privileged.

job filming this documentary and the questions that he asked people in America and in Canada about guns. He asked many questions to people that they couldn’t answer because no one knows the real reason why the homicide rates are so high in the United States of America. The summary of the movie was basically interviews with people and a few celebrities in America and normal people in Canada about the gun laws, homicide rates, and the tragic shootings at Columbine High School. I see that back in…

Reading about the struggle for immigrants to receive healthcare is pretty disheartening. You imagine an individual or a family who goes through all the work of getting to the United States, establishing themselves with a job and a halfway decent place to live, and then working their hardest to contribute to society, but at the end of the day, they can’t get healthcare coverage either because of their status or the fact that they work jobs in a sector that provides little to no coverage. The…

Racial inequality is a major problem in the USA and has only seemed to continue growing. When we take a look at the history of America we see it to be riddled with misfortune for those who have some pigmentation in their skin.

“It 's A Bird... It 's A Plane... It 's Propaganda?!?” For years, superhero’s have become ingrained in American culture, spanning over several decades and evolving to spawn new eras of heroes. Now, we find superheroes in almost any form of media. Writers routinely revisit stories to deepen their mythologies and, sometimes, to try to correct faults from the tunnels of the past. Because these characters live throughout history -- many of them are over 60 years old – but unfortunately they don 't…

As the global hegemony, the United States has both a great deal of power and plenty of responsibility. The United States is recognized all throughout the world as its superpower and it has legitimacy to back it up. Even if we were in a decline from being the global hegemony, no other country comes close to our GDP. Many suggest that China is the next hegemony and that they will be the next authority, but no one can really tell by just using raw data alone. As we discussed the debate of what…

and sought dreams for society; especially for the Latinos community, but we do not know what are the challenges we would have to face and overcome to successfully accomplish the longed dream. When I was a kid what I desired the most was to have a united family. My dad used to spend half of the year working in California as a landscaper while my mom and I were in Mexico living our lives in our little old-traditional town located in the suburbs of the city. I used to talk with my dad almost every…

three decades of growth, and they had risen to become the world’s second largest economy. Japanese companies were eliminating American industries, from automobiles to consumer electronics. Also, Japanese companies were purchasing assets in the United States, like movie studios, golf courses, and real estate. Their stock market, Nikkei, was booming during that year.
