America is a great country. There are good and bad people but often times it is the bad experiences being remembered the most. The current president should have never been, but the government allowed this to happen. The government simply did not listen to the people and the people voted. This is democracy at its finest.
Every generation has their own challenges. Today the biggest challenge is for America to adapt to globalization. In the past only America could do things because they controlled majority stake of the world's resources. Extensive waste and over indulgence through the years is no longer possible. Today countries are rising economically and socially and America has to accept that rather than invade and spread it's values.
If America sets itself as an example by focusing more on its people instead of maintaining a status quo there will be less divide. Creation of jobs and making housing affordable is primary goals to be focusing for its people. Spending money to "buy" our way to reaching these goals will never work. We seen it in 2008 and today a lot of the people are still struggling. Point is the people have to be given an incentive to drive their hopes and ambitions to reality. How to get this out of the people is still unclear to me but throughout America's history a lot of things happened because the people saw through them as hurdles and willed their way into conquering them.
I personally do not want the country to fall apart and believe that its people are the best in the world. Whether this holds true will be seen in the years ahead as other countries forge ahead in hopes to obtain what America has had for so many years. The prosperity and richness America has is why so many adore and want to emulate.
America is not perfect, and there is much work to be done to make the country that has always been great to be greater.
