Semester Persuasive Essay #6: United States Best Country?

Prompt 34. Many people immigrate to the United States because they believe that it is better than their native country. In fact, many people believe that the United States is the best country in the world. Do you agree? Why or why not?
     
There are many people who believe that the United States is a better place to live. They would rather live there than their own home land. They mostly do this because they might believe that the United States is the best country in the world. For me to think that the U.S. is the best country in this would make me have a lot of nationalism. Although the United States may have a better society, is very popular, and has inevitable rights, I believe that the United States is not the best country in the world because I believe that no country is better than the rest since every country has their problems.
I believe that the United States is not the best country in the world because it has too many problems. It does not have so many problems to make it the worst country in the world, but it has enough to not make it a great country, but a good country. In fact, the world is full of good countries in the world. Some of these countries include England, China, Japan, Canada, and Russia. They all have their problems that make them not good enough to be a great country. In fact, I do not think that there is ever going to be a great country simply because of the fact that each and every country has its problems.
The United States has a major problem with its money. I mean look at it! We are in debt so far back that it would take us to the day that the world ends to finish paying off of the debt. I believe that this is one of the major problems with the United States that make it not be the best country in the world. In order for us to pay off this debt, we should stop borrowing money from other countries. That way we could at least become a better country than we are now and we would have one less problem in our way from being the best country.
The United States would never be the best country in the world also because we still have not gotten over racism. Even though we are no longer segregated in the south, we still have many problems. For example, let us look our president Barack Obama. Many White people blame him for everything bad going on in our country. First of all he is just one person and he has to look over the whole country. Second of all, the problems that they blame him for were problems that persisted with all the other presidents, so it is nothing new. I see that as racism because now that there is a Black president, they basically want to blame him for global warming. I believe that if there is racism in any country, there would never be the best country and this applies to the United States.
In conclusion, I believe that the United States is not the best country in the world because of its problems. Even though it has a lot of appealing things to it, I believe that it would never be the best because there is racism, debt, and has too many problems. There is no country that is great, only good. So, do you see now what I see? Because if you do not see that the U.S. is only a good country, then you are missing the big picture.
