"Why is America the greatest country in the world?"
It's not the greatest country in the world.
You're going to tell our students that the country is so star-spangled-aweomse, that it's the only one that has freedom?
Canada has freedom, Japan has freedom, the U.K., France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Australia, Belgium!
Out of 208 sovereign states in the world, 180 of them have freedom.
There is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we are the greatest country in the world.
We're 7th in literacy, 27th in math, 22nd in science, 49th in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, 3rd in minimum household income, number 4 in labor force, and number 4 in exports.
We lead the world in only 3 categories: Number 1 in incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next top 27 countries combined, 25 who are allies.
Now none of this is at the fault of a 20 year old college student, but you are, without a doubt, part of the worst. generation. ever.
So when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world, I don't know what the f.uck you're talking about.
